General formulation of the problem and its currency Integration into European educational sphere demands implementation the new methods based on the information technology use into the higher school training process. Decree of the Ukrainian President ‘About Measures of Priority Education Ukrainian Development Providing’ No926/2010, adopted on 30th September, 2012 [1]. Nowadays one of the important tasks of the education system is providing free and open possibility of knowledge acquiring for everybody, taking into account their demand, skills and interests. To improve the training process is necessary to use such powerful technologies, as ‘cloud computing’. Supporting traditional training forms, it’s the new epoch of education development. It’s also economic, effective and flexible way to satisfy the needs of taught in new knowledge getting. With the help of existent technologies and tools it is easy to create the local ‘computing cloud’ for the institution to use its resources according to the modern educational requirements. ‘Cloud’ use can be inner and external, it depends on the pattern of its realization, firstly. ‘Cloud’ can embrace geographically regions, cities, areas, making all the infrastructure according to the one standard. It’s important for the education entirely, because it provides the convenient control and reduces of service expenditures. External ‘cloud’ has more advantages, because education system reduces capital and operating costs in such a way. And services can be sizes according to the demands, that is connected with the educational seasonality. ‘Cloud’ conception is one of the most frequently discussed themes. It has followers and opponents. Like other new ideas, ‘cloud computing’ technologies change the training process of any subject fundamentally, providing information optimization of gathering, search, saving, processing and presentation without any changes to the educational plans of the institutions. Today it’s too difficult to clear, who was the first to represent the clouds on the schemes. But this idea is caught on, becomes an integral part of ‘cloud computing’ theory and practice thanks to professor Ramnath K. Chellappa from the Goizueta Business-School of Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. He proposed to consider the calculations economic, but not technic event, naming them Cloud Computing, well-known and widespread now. The general definition of this technology looks in such a way: ‘Cloud Computing’ is dynamically sized way of external resources access for calculation in the form of service, providing with the help of Internet. User doesn’t need special knowledge about the ‘cloud’ infrastructure or skills to manage this ‘cloud technology’. Naturally, ‘cloud’ isn’t Internet, but such hardware and software, that is necessary to solve the definite tasks. Idea on ‘Cloud Computing’ was firstly introduced in 1960s the inventor of the Lisp machine language, Stanford University professor John McKarti. The first technology like modern ‘Cloud
