The European Cloud Computing Strategy
Francisco García MoránDG for Informatics, European Commission
Cloud: an elastic execution
environment of resources involving multiple stakeholders
and providing a metered service
at multiple granularities for a specified level of quality (of service).

Definition
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient,
on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider
interaction

Europe […] should develop an EU-wide strategy on 'cloud computing' notably for government and science.”

Governance, control

Interoperability
Essential for the cloud to be fair, open and competitive
Open specifications are key
Data portability

Cloud standardisation: the issues
standardisation is highly complexthe supply side is not interested
too early: players prefer to gain market sharethe demand side is hesitant
current solutions could result in lock in situationslarge number of involved parties
technology providers, solution integrators, governments, user groups, etc.regulatory requirements to comply withseveral standardisation bodies and fora with heavy non-European participation
there is a real need to develop
Data protection
Key issue for Europe
Data may be hosted anywhere
Data is subject to location specific legislative issues
6
Legal framework
Cloud providers should protect European cloud customer’s data: portability, transparency, EU data protection standards
European governments must have legal frameworks

Ongoing activities
Policy initiatives
The Digital Agenda for Europe forsees:
� review of data protection framework;
� reform of EU standardisation system;
� better use of standards in public procurement;
� network security;
� etc.
Research Projects
� EGI-InSPIRE: Create persistent eInfrastructure with clouds for science (EUR 25m)
� Eurocloud: Develop "servers on a chip" based on ARM processors (EUR 3.3m)
� StratusLab: Develop an open source cloud distribution (EUR 2.3m)
� SIENA: Co-ordinate adoption and evolution of interoperable distributed computing infrastructures with open standards for clouds and grids (EUR 0.41m)
� etc.
Future Research and Pilots in Cloud Computing
FP7 ICT Work programme 2011-12
For example, on:
� Intelligent, automatic management of cloud resources to ensure scalability
� Interoperability among different clouds, portability, protection of data in cloud environments, control of data distribution and
latency.
Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP)(Orientations for Work programme 2011 under discussion)
“Support several pilots to prepare move towards clouds of/for public services. Pilots to demonstrate potential benefits of adopting new service delivery architectures to reduce cost and enable private actors to build new services.”

Take aways
Cloud Computing is changing the ICT market
Europe needs to become "Cloud-Friendly" and "Cloud-Active”
International policies needed
European Commission is working on the regulatory framework to stimulate and support Cloud Computing
