NIST Cloud Definition - Neovise Recommended Changes

In June of 2009 Neovise submitted recommended changes to the National Institute of Standards (NIST) on their definition of cloud computing (version 13). In summary, the “characteristics” of cloud computing should be further clarified and expanded. Additionally, they should not be labeled essential since not all cloud services and offerings include each and every one of the characteristics.

Suggested changes are listed in the attached Word document.
