- Last month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held its second workshop as part of a Cloud Computing Program to speed the adoption of cloud computing while ensuring best practices and standards for interoperability, portability and security. NIST is joined by other industry stakeholders, including IEEE, SNIA and the Open Grid Forum, in developing a cloud computing roadmap, as well as interim cloud computing specifications and guidelines.
- As public cloud storage becomes a viable data storage alternative for IT departments, it raises significant issues for business information owners seeking guidance on appropriate cloud-based standards to address security, privacy, risk and ethical concerns.
