CloudEthernet Forum Becomes OpenCloud Connect

E-mail Print PDF

The CloudEthernet Forum (CEF) announces a name change to OpenCloud Connect (OCC) to reflect its "dynamic growth" since being formed back in May 2013, together details on the formation of a new committee.

OpenCloud Connect“When we launched the CEF, one of the key aims was for automated, secure, end-to-end, vendor agnostic cloud service enablement. Since then, given the strong response to the OCP, ‘Open-ness’ has taken pole position," the organization says. "Meanwhile ‘Cloud’ takes its rightful place at the very heart of our banner, and the final ‘Connect’ reflects a double meaning: representing both literal connectivity and the bonds of shared purpose that bring such an apparently diverse membership into one cohesive whole. We are more than a forum, we are a movement. Hence-- OpenCloud Connect (OCC).”

OOC brings together cloud service providers, network service providers, equipment makers, system integrators and software developers, all with the aim to bring open standards development to the cloud services market.

As mentioned earlier OOC is getting a new committee responsible for the work of both the OpenCloud Project and the OpenCloud Lab. It will make a first appearance at Interop, Las Vegas, on 28 April 2015, where it will provide an update on OOC work and a large scale demonstration of service delivery across multiple providers, networks and equipment vendors.
