What is the European View on Standards for Cloud Computing ?

Competitive Advantage – “Cloud is changing Business and Society” – Marker sector initiatives: eScience, eGovernment, banking, retail, supply chain, telco, mobile social

networks – Large scale competitors with first mover advantage

Barriers to cloud adoption and accelerators– Consumer choice and trade barriers, – Coordination of standards interoperability across borders – Gaps in standards

• Semantics, locations, SLAs,

• Audit, legality, compliance, certification

• EU Directives 95, 2002, ISO 27000, HIPPA, S-O…

Differentiation – what is EU good at ?– Knowledge economy– Economic zone impact – Supply chain impact – EU combined GDP is larger than United States, its largest global GDP; EU has 4 of top 10 GDP

countries (Source: IMF World Economic Outlook Database 2011 http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2011/01/weodata/weoselgr.aspx).

Cloud could be a unifying force across boundaries and divisions to maximize EU commercial power
