Expressing the government’s willingness to collaborate with the industry and academia to develop progressive cloud services in India, the Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Kapil Sibal suggested that the focus for that could be on SMEs and the starting point could be clusters, which have commonality of purpose and vision.
While inaugurating the Cloud Summit 2012, “Enabling the Indian Cloud Revolution” on Wednesday, the Minister highlighted the need for outlining technical and other parameters for cloud providers, standardization of contracts, privacy and security conditions and urged the industry to work out details for setting up cloud services.
Sibal also released the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) White Paper on 'The Indian Cloud Revolution', on the occasion, saying that India was still in the process of evolving appropriate architecture to take advantage of the possible revolution.
Later Dr Gulshan Rai, Director-General, Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) pointed out that concerns of privacy, security, compliance and vigilance with regard to cloud arose because of the absence of physical infrastructure at the user-end.
He suggested that an alliance on the lines of the US-based Cloud Security Alliance be set up in India to answer all issues and concerns. He stressed on the need for setting up a framework for data sharing.
