Recently... › Neelie Kroes Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda responsible for the Digital Agenda Towards a European Cloud Computing Strategy World Economic Forum Davos, 27 January 2011 › We see that many private, and increasingly also public, organisations are developing their own approaches to the use of cloud computing. › But... there are a number of questions that need to be q answered to make it happen in practice. These concern legal, technical and commercial issues. › I have started work on an EU-wide cloud computing strategy. This goes beyond a policy framework I want to make Europe This goes beyond a policy framework. I want to make Europe not just "cloud-friendly" but "cloud-active”. › We want to extend our research support and focus on critical issues such as security and availability of cloud services › We will support pilot projects aiming at cloud deployment › We will support pilot projects aiming at cloud deployment. › I want to have this in place no later than 2012.
