The European Commission \u00a0recently released a draft of a set of guidelines that are aimed at reducing costs and increasing trust in cloud computing vendors. \u00a0The report describes details of requirements for vendors on service availability, the quality of support, security levels and data management.<\/p>\n

The set of guidelines were drafted\u00a0by the Cloud Select Industry Group<\/a> (CSIG). \u00a0Participants in this group<\/a> include cloud vendors like\u00a0Atos, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, SAP, IBM, Salesforce, Cisco, HP, Accenture, Intel and EMC, and also legal experts like DLA Piper.<\/p>\n

Viviane Reding<\/a>,\u00a0European Commissioner for Justice, said that “more trust means more revenue for companies in Europe\u2019s digital single market.”<\/p>\n

Neelie Kroes<\/a>,\u00a0European Commission vice-president, said that<\/a>\u00a0“this is the first time cloud suppliers have agreed on common guidelines for service level agreements. \u00a0I think small businesses in particular will benefit from having these guidelines at hand when searching for cloud services.”<\/p>\n
