The European Commission focuses on the Cloud

What is the best strategy for developing cloud computing in Europe? To determine this, the European Commission launches public consultation until the end of August. Cloud computing raises many questions regarding resiliency services, data protection, legal and technical responsibilities, or environment.

To answer this question and define common frameworks, the European Commission launched until August 31 a public consultation, including developers and users of the Cloud. "The purpose of this survey is to obtain formal advice on the needs, challenges and opportunities for using and providing IT services in the cloud (cloud)," said the European Commission through the voice of Neelie Kroes, vice President of the Commission responsible for digital strategy.

"We need a clear strategy for cloud computing to better exploit its potential. To this end, it is essential that we have a feedback from all stakeholders. The European Union must become more welcoming and active in cloud computing to meet the needs of end users and protect the rights of citizens.

The questionnaire of this public consultation is available here.
