Maximising the potential growth of the European Digital Economy requires investment in ICT infrastructures and technologies, such as Cloud Computing, to boost industrial competiveness and provide better public services. In simple terms, Cloud computing is the storing, processing and use of data stored on remotely located computers accessed over the internet. Users can draw upon almost unlimited computing power and access their data from any internet connection, while reducing capital investment needs.
Cloud Computing is increasingly the chosen platform for the provision of new ICT infrastructure, services, software and applications. By using the cloud, small firms can reach out to large markets, while governments can make their services more attractive and efficient while reining in spending.
However, the drastic changes in the delivery and use of information technology represented by Cloud Computing creates new challenges which must be addressed, including the interoperability of different clouds and cloud services, and the portability of data stored on a cloud.
These communications of the EC explain the policy framework:
• COM(2012)529 Unleashing the Potential of Cloud Computing in Europe
• COM(2015)192 A Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe
