Paper Abstract:
|
Cloud computing, IaaS Cloud Services and Data Portability are topics of great interest and largely contemplated lately not
only because of the focus the academia and the research community is showing, but also of the enterprises and the ECs
continuously growing interest. Even though the adoption of cloud computing by European enterprises specially is steadily
growing, it has not been as big as it would have been expected due to specific barriers faced by Cloud Service Customers
(CSCs) such as lack of trust, uncertainty about the applicable law, unclear compliance to existing schemes and legislation,
as well as the lack of interoperability among service providers, of transparency in security aspects and of control of the
data.
The work presented deliberates what effect a Code of Conduct (Code) for Data Portability and Cloud Service Switching
for IaaS Cloud services would have if included in the Certification Scheme for Cloud Computing already being prepared
by the EC, and if the impact will in fact be the increase of CSCs condense regarding porting and switching between IaaS
cloud services, at a low cost and with minimal disruption. The economics of IaaS Cloud Services will play a significant
role on how cloud computing will grow, so a review of available economic models used to forecast the economic impact
of cloud computing will be presented, along with a proposal of a model that could potentially be used to forecast the
economic footprint of a Code for Data Portability and Cloud Service Switching. |
