Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF)

The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF) was formed in order to enable a global cloud computing ecosystem whereby organizations are able to seamlessly work together for the purposes of wider industry adoption of cloud computing technology and related services. A key focus will be placed on the creation of a common agreed upon framework / ontology that enables the ability of two or more cloud platforms to exchange information in a unified manor.

CCIF is an open, vendor neutral, not for profit community of technology advocates, and customers dedicated to driving the rapid adoption of global cloud computing services. CCIF shall accomplish this by working through the use of open forums (physical and virtual) focused on building community consensus, exploring emerging trends, and advocating best practices / reference architectures for the purpose of standardizing cloud computing.
