Cloud Storage standards and interoperability

Standards and Interoperability is very important in the context of cloud computing, as it will prevent vendor lock-in and allow the simple development of cross-cloud applications that will revolutionize computing in the same way as the development of the Internet. The Cloud Computing Innovation Council of India is working with TSDSI (Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India) to develop cloud standards that will be useful in the Indian context. The talk will give an overview of this ongoing effort.
