NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCC) is pleased to announce that Dell has become an annual Platinum sponsor for the end-user advocacy group. By sponsoring CSCC, Dell is committing on behalf of its customers to drive the adoption and security of cloud computing through industry standards.
“At the heart of Dell’s Cloud strategy are customer choice and flexible, standards-based solutions – fundamental elements to advancing and unlocking the potential of cloud. Dell has joined the CSCC to advocate for our customers and the broad community of cloud consumers. We’re here to listen and learn first, and then help put into action cloud standards that will advance the state of cloud computing for the betterment of industry at large,” said Donald Ferguson, Software CTO and Sr. Fellow, Dell. “Dell has a long history of championing standards to provide customers with choice and consistency across multiple technologies. We intend to continue supporting these core values through our work with the CSCC, while helping organizations use cloud computing to transform their business.”
By sponsoring CSCC, Dell is building on an existing relationship with the Object Management Group (OMG®), the organization that manages CSCC. As a member of OMG, Dell chairs the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Working Group. The group has recently released a Request for Information for an SDN Application Ecosystem. More information can be found at http://sdn.omg.org. In addition, Dell’s representative, Manish Patil, was elected to the Board of Directors at the consortium’s September meeting.
Dell joins the ranks of other CSCC annual sponsors as CloudeAssurance, IBM, and Software AG. To find out more about CSCC sponsorship opportunities, visit www.cloud-council.org/sponsorship.htm or contact Ken Berk at ken.berk@omg.org.
The Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCC) is an OMG® end-user advocacy group dedicated to accelerating cloud’s successful adoption and drilling down into the standards, security and interoperability issues surrounding the transition to the cloud. While not a standards organization, CSCC complements existing cloud standards efforts by establishing a core set of client-driven requirements that ensure cloud users will have the same freedom of choice, flexibility and openness they have with traditional IT environments. CSCC is open to all end-user organizations. For more information, visit http://www.cloud-council.org.
