- Survey into Cloud standards and Cloud customer requirements being carried out by the CSC with the EC and ETSI
- Cloud customers, large and small: Call for participation
- Study to investigate needs, objectives, challenges and areas of concern in typical Cloud Computing scenarios
The Cloud Standards Coordination (CSC) is undertaking a survey on Cloud standards and Cloud customer requirements, in collaboration with the European Commission and the ETSI (European Telecommunication Standards Institute). The first phase of this study was completed and published in 2013. Phase 2 of the study, launched in February this year, mainly addresses Cloud Computing customers on the Cloud-related requirements and priorities, as well as assessing the maturity of Cloud Computing standards and evaluating how standards can support customer priorities.
The Phase 2 survey is designed to collect feedback from the Cloud Computing community in terms of needs, objectives, challenges and areas of concern in typical Cloud Computing scenarios, and to evaluate the perceived maturity of Cloud Computing standards.
The survey is targeting current and future Cloud customers in the private and public sectors, SMEs as well as large organizations in all vertical sectors. Other stakeholders from the entire Cloud Computing eco-system (e.g. Cloud Computing providers) are also invited to participate.
The survey is available at www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSCphase2
All responses to the survey will be handled according to a strict confidentiality policy. Answers will be shared and used only amongst the ETSI CSC Phase 2 experts. Only aggregated results will be published.
The report from Phase 1 of the study can be found here.
