Players Join Forces To Address Asia's Cloud Computing Challenges – Firstpost
Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, EMC Corporation, Microsoft, NetApp, Nokia Siemens Networks, PLDT/Smart, Rackspace, REACH, Telenor, and Verizon, have formed the Asia Cloud Computing Association, an open collaboration forum based in the Asia Pacific region. The non-profit, vendor-neutral organisation will address regional issues and challenges to adoption of cloud computing in Asia including privacy and security concerns, compliance and regulatory mandates, licensing models, service levels, and other market risks. This growth may be accelerated by different initiatives such as standardising nomenclature, addressing security standards, uniting on public policy, and validating regulatory positions, as well as educating the market on the benefits of the cloud, where a collective voice is more likely to succeed.” The organisation’s founding members include a number of heavyweight global vendors and service providers, but all the leading regional cloud computing telcos are noticeably missing. The regulatory landscape and varying market maturity levels have fragmented the adoption of cloud computing in the region,” noted Asia Cloud Chairman and REACH Chief Information Officer, Sundi Balu.
