The analysis of the research results consulted in the academic databases such as: EBSCO, Latindex, Redalyc, Dialnet and Scielo, show the importance of cloud computing in higher education institutions, since this type of technology allows the use of a more efficient way of computing infrastructure existing in the institution and also the rapid implementation of new information systems, in addition to the private cloud through OpenStack, has advantages over other IaaS Open source technologies, such as : cost, documentation, ease of implementation, and services offered. OpenStack provides the possibilities of implementing private IaaS clouds in a distributed way, thus allowing collaborative work between higher education institutions in the country or abroad in favor of academic improvement.
