What is the European View on Standards for Cloud Computing ?

– 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
