CLOUDs Luis Jorge Romero Saro ETSI Director-General
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’snext? • 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 !
