Cloud Related Projects
50+ standards or TRs have been initiated
since 2010
General specifications: vocabulary and
taxonomy, general architecture, etc.
Service scenario and requirements: IaaS, PaaS,
NaaS, DaaS, etc.
Cloud platform: resource management, intercloud, service and management interfaces, etc.
Network: inner/inter-DC network, bear network
Operation and maintenance
Security

Green Datacenter Standards Have Been
Taken into Practice
•
10+ cloud datacenter related specifications
have been initiated, including:
Datacenter Energy Efficiency Metrics: define the
basic metrics to the identify energy efficiency of
datacenters
Technology Specification and Evaluation Methods
for Green Datacenter: how to evaluate the
“green level” of datacenters
Datacenter Grading and Classification Technology
Specification : classify datacenters by 3
dimensions: reliability, energy efficiency, and
security

Principals of CCSA in Cloud Standardization
Activities
Openness
Open to the industry, especially cloud market
stakeholders
Open to achievements from industry, including
SDOs, consortiums, de facto(standards), open
source
Practical
In line with the status of industry
Meet requirements from different stakeholders
Moderate forward thinking

Global Cloud Computing
Standardization Harmonization
China Telecom, China Unicom, ZTE, Huawei, and CATR are
actively participate in the cloud computing activities of ITU-T
SG13, SG17, and served as rapporteurs and editors.
Other SDOs:
DMTF(MOU)
Huawei, China Mobile, Lenovo, ZTE, CATR and some universities are
active members
CCSA have become alliance partners of DMTF
TGG(MOU)
CATR and China Mobile are the key members
IETF
ZTE and Huawei are sponsors of some cloud computing BOF and
research
Members of CCSA Also participate in CSA, The Open Group, SNIA,
OASIS, etc.

Focus of Future
•
•
•
•
•
•
Specific cloud service requirement and
technical specification
Cloud service requirements in specific
market area
Cloud networking
Security requirements
Cloud SLA
Operation and maintenance
10
Challenges
o Cloud
service still in its “infant stage”
in China. The requirements on
standardization are still vague in some
sense.
o How
to harmonize with de facto and
open source, based on the members
benefits.
o Attract
more stakeholders of cloud
participate the activities of CCSA
11
Next Steps / Actions
•
•
•
12
Cooperate with industrial organizations
Pursue liaison relationships with
international SDO's and organizations
that are already engaged in cloud
activities
Ensure the harmonization with the
state of the art cloud standardization
activities in the world.
