Cloud Industry new Code of Practice
The Cloud Industry Forum has launched its draft Code of Practice for public consultation
The CIF met last month to agree the final content of the draft Code, which aims to eventually standardise and certify enterprises offering Cloud Computing services.
The CIF has brought together key industry figures to discuss the issues and challenges that surround the development of a Code of Practice to offer certification for providers. It has been working on the development of the draft Code since October 09 and is now asking for end users, providers and other stakeholders to participate in the consultation process by downloading the draft CoP and providing feedback direct to CIF.
Andy Burton, Chairman of CIF and CEO of Fasthosts says: "Interest in CIF has been growing rapidly since we announced its formation in 2009 and since that time the founding members have been working hard to develop a detailed Code of Practice. We firmly believe that the market needs a credible and certifiable Code of Practice that provides transparency of Cloud services such that consumers can have clarity and confidence in their choice of provider.
"Organisations seeking to use Cloud services need a straightforward form of certification or 'Code of Practice' for potential suppliers that will accurately define the services offered, standards of operation and security."
