The Digital Agenda for Europe
“ Europe should also […] [reinforce] eInfrastructures and […] should develop an EU-wide strategy on 'cloud computing' notably for government and science. […] The strategy should consider economic, legal and institutional aspects.”
A Digital Agenda for Europe (COM(2010)245, 19.05.2010),http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52010DC0245(01):EN:NOT

Why?
“ Now is the time to bring it all together. […] This goes beyond a policy framework. I want to make Europe not just ‘cloud-friendly’ but ‘cloud-active’.”
Neelie Kroes, 27 January 2011
1. Economic potential for supply & demand2. Cloud computing happens: to or with us?3. Many Commission actions have an impact

When?
“[T]he deliverable is a document combining analysis and a plan of future actions. I want to have this in place no later than 2012.”
Neelie Kroes, 27 January 2011
![Page 10: The European Cloud Computing Strategy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6ab454a7959aa4b8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What?
“First, the legal framework: users' rights, data protection and privacy - including the global aspects […].
Second, technical and commercial fundamentals: boosting research efforts, and focussing them on critical issues such as security and reliability.
Third, the market: we will support pilot projects for cloud deployment, and push public procurers into action.”
Neelie Kroes, 22 March 2011

Process so far1. Expert Reports: Opportunities for European Cloud Computing Beyond 2010, Security and Resilience in Governmental Clouds (ENISA)
2. Public online consultation(16 May-31 August, results will be online)
3. Consulations with industry (23 May, report is being drafted)
4. Digital Agenda Assembly Cloud Workshop(17 June, presentations online)

E.g. 2. Pillar: Research
EGI-InSPIRE: Persistent eInfrastructure w/ clouds for science (€25m)
RESERVOIR: Develop technology for IaaS clouds (€10m)
VENUS-C: Develop and deploy cloud service for research and industry
with virtualisation platform (€4.5m)
Eurocloud: Develop "servers on a chip" based on ARM (€3.3m)
StratusLab: Develop an open source cloud distribution (€2.3m)
SIENA: Co-ordinate adoption and evolution of interoperable cloud and
grid infrastructures with open standards (€0.41m)
etc.

” Our Vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense [...] the data themselves become the infrastructure – a valuable asset, on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance”.

E.g. 3. Pillar: Market
CIP Work programme 2011
“Objective 4.1: Towards a cloud of public services” (p.27) (Several pilos, funding up to €10m)
Cloud will also be covered in CIP Work programmes For 2012 and 2013.

Pooling procurement
“...push public procurers into action.”
“Let me just dare to look a bit into the future. In the US there is a large framework contract for cloud computing that can be used on all levels of government. This pools a lot of procurement power. If anything, this can ‘move the market’ – and the public administrations. What would we need to do to pull off something like this in Europe?”
Neelie Kroes, 23 May 2011
![Page 16: The European Cloud Computing Strategy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c6ab454a7959aa4b8b45c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But how?“What would we need to do to pull off
something like this in Europe?”
Let’s start with your initiative!*
– Valuable experience– Focus on effectiveness/cost– Similar requirements– Pooling of resources attractive– Public sector– Natural to align with EU targets– role-model for other organisations– etc.
*Inter-governmental research organisations (EIROforum) defining common requirements and procuring together, where possible. Aim: Prevent lock-in, prompt suitable supply in Europe.
