Highlight of Current Activities TC CLOUD “Bricks” in TC LI EC-ETSI Workshop held 28-29 Sept. 2011 In cooperation with European Commission, NIST, EuroCIO & EuroCloud Policy/legal requirements Standardization landscape User requirements

Known hurdles in today’s cloud Jurisdiction, a very tough one Legal requirements, e.g. privacy, data security, LI in the cloud Portability  how “multi-supplier” the market will be? Interoperability Terms and definitions ability to compare services from different suppliers trust in commercial contracts (e.g. SLAs) Trust

and known requests… All sectors see the economic benefit of the cloud… Public Private …but fear the same threats and roadblocks …and think standards can help solve the situation

But… Cloud has been on the standards agenda for a while… mainly focused on infrastructures Very much a supply push, not yet a demand one at least, in the short term Many parallel initiatives worldwide Risk of fragmentation

The fog is removing from the Clouds… Key customers (e.g. major service providers, large enterprises,...) have strong requirements and want to see them addressed Public administrations need to be able to move to cloud NIST has started some specification work on cloud

ETSI any standards will have to be a multi-SDOs (and fora) effort Industry and users want coordination Main tracks after the Workshop Channel EU regulatory provisions into standardization EU/US cooperation (with NIST) Work with demand-side to address requirements Work with supply side (for certification)

What’s next? ETSI welcomes co-operation and knowledge sharing in this area: to avoid duplication of work to avoid fragmentation there is much to do here; GSC PSOs should not fear “competition” but should work together on this !
