BSA publishes top ten countries for cloud: not mentioning China

Japan, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14583.html "> Australia and the United States are considered to be leading in cloud computing because of their friendly policies and laws on cloud computing," according to a new survey. The survey, which covered the technical environment of 24 economies, found mixed feelings.

The survey, released by BSA, a commercial software alliance, includes Microsoft, Adobe, CA, Apple, Sybase and Symantec. The survey found that while many of the world's largest it markets have stalled and there are even some setbacks, many countries are actively pursuing policies and laws to embrace the development of cloud computing and to promote innovation in cloud computing.

Cloud computing is a service that requires cross-border operations, and last year the BSA Cloud Computing scorecard reported that too much rigour or lack of cloud computing laws has become a barrier to entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as slowing the development of cloud computing itself. But from this year's BSA scorecard, the situation has not eased, and it has been found that, despite the introduction of a number of cloud-computing policies, policy fragmentation persists, such as curbing Cross-border cross-border data flows aimed at weakening international competition and protecting the local cloud computing market.

"In the future, which country will get the say in cloud computing?"

Commercial Software Alliance BSA says the ranking of cloud computing is not proportional to economic power, mainly based on the national data privacy, security, protection, prevention of cybercrime, intellectual property, free trade, industry-led standards, information technology preparation and broadband deployment, and other factors to the national cloud computing power Rankings, The top 10 countries in the list are as follows:

1, Japan

2. Australia

3, the United States

4, Germany

5. Singapore

6. France

7, the United Kingdom

8, Korea

9, Canada

10, Italy

From the Business Software Alliance's scorecard this year, Singapore has made the biggest progress in cloud computing, ranking from tenth to fifth in the rankings a year ago, with Singapore introducing a new privacy policy that recognizes the right to protect personal information and requires companies to use data for reasonable reasons.

In addition, although the ranking is not in the top 10, Singapore's neighbors Malaysia in the footsteps of cloud computing is also very tight, in the strengthening of cyber crime prevention, IP law and the openness of digital trade has made great progress.

"Cloud computing standards guarantee the free flow of data."

This time, the United States successfully squeezed Germany to the third position, Germany to the fourth, the Commercial Software Alliance CSA for the United States is such a comment: Although the main policy on cloud computing has not greatly improved, but in the development of cloud computing standards has made substantial progress, while the cloud computing infrastructure has also been greatly developed. It seems that the United States wants to fight for the right to speak on standards.

Canada, Russia and India have all raised rankings because of the implementation of international IP protocols.

Still, the Business Software Alliance says that many of the world's largest it markets have been stalled in terms of legal and regulatory opportunities, and it is worth mentioning that among the 24 countries surveyed, 6 of the EU's countries have lost their rankings and even some have withdrawn from global markets, such as the introduction of the counterproductive policies of Indonesia and Viet Nam.

In BSA's view, trade agreements are an important part of a country's cloud computing competitiveness, so each country supports and encourages the free flow of data and applications among countries. So BSA believes that the Government should establish a strict framework: to meet the needs of people's privacy protection, but also have enough flexibility to ensure the free transmission of data.

In order to ensure the growth of cloud computing, forward-looking trade agreements should take into account the content of Cross-border data service constraints, the use of local computing infrastructure, such as the availability or investment of certain conditions, and the use of standards and licensing requirements in the form of restricted trade.
