Big enterprises push cloud computing standard process

At present, a number of standardization organizations are leading the development of different cloud computing standards, then these different directions of efforts will lead to success or a standard war?

The rise of cloud computing has generated a powerful push for cloud computing standards, driven by IT leaders from many big companies, who are demanding standards for security and data migration.

However, this initial push for http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/6182.html's > standards is starting to look more and more like a racing race-though everyone is driving on the same track, But the car that everyone drives is completely different.

A number of standardised-organization cars are chasing the same square flag, which is a set of standards that help simplify the process of adoption of cloud computing technology.

One of the newest standardization organizations is the Cloud Standards User Association (Cloud Standards Customer Council), which was announced this month, and the behind-the-scenes support vendor is IBM.

The message conveyed by all these efforts is clear: business needs cloud computing standards.

What is not clear, however, is whether this effort from multiple sources will allow the standard drivers to compete and develop with each other, in other words, whether there will be conflicting standard schemes leading to a crash on the pitch.

These different cloud standards organizations have a common key feature--buyers in the corporate world.

For example, members of the Cloud Standards User Association include Citigroup, the United States good city multi-chain warehousing and John Deere Investment Company.

The Open Data Center Alliance, which was set up earlier, is a group of top companies in the world, such as JPMorgan Chase, BMW and Deutsche Bank. The alliance is supported by Intel. In addition, companies like the Cloud Security alliance have Coca-Cola and ebay.

"Our intention is to collaborate actively with all the standardization organizations," said CSO Marvin Wheeler, Chairman and Secretary-General of the Open Data Center Alliance, Terremark Corporation.

Wheeler that standardization efforts from multiple organizations do not produce competitive results but complementary relationships. Ultimately, these efforts will help all standards organizations achieve their goals.

"The goal of our alliance is to work very closely with other organizations," Wheeler said.

The Open Data Center Alliance is also pushing the standardization of the cloud, trying to change the pattern of the cloud computing market. The organization is developing a variety of application models for cloud manufacturers. Once an agreement is reached with the cloud manufacturer, the models are expected to be used by its member companies. The alliance says its member companies ' annual IT spending power is up to $ more than 100 billion trillion.

There is also North Carolina State University in the Cloud Standards Users Association.

"If only one of our users were to push the cloud standards at this time, I would be very worried," said Sam Averitt, former owner of the Center for Computing Laboratories in North Carolina. Averitt has retired from North Carolina this month but is still actively involved in the state's efforts to advance cloud standards.

Averitt says the cloud market has become so large and complex that it requires a variety of different sounds.

"Over time, there will be a process of convergence, and if the work goes well, we will come up with a good cloud standard," Averitt said, citing the convergence of past network standards.

Averitt insists that there is no doubt about the need for cloud standards, especially in the area of cloud security, to ensure that data cloud migrate without losing its integrity.

But Averitt also admits that the audit function is particularly critical. Because it is not possible for someone to cycle through the data, but only by using a machine with audit trails, these machines can also collect evidence when necessary to determine where the information is migrated, who has access to the information, and so on.

In the government's cloud planning, departments must be particularly convinced that "the work I do is safe enough to meet these standard requirements," Averitt said, "but none of these benchmarks exists at all." ”
