Welcome to the Cloud Readiness Index created by the Asia Cloud Computing Association.
The Index is designed to look at the state of readiness for cloud computing in markets across the Asia Pacific region - especially how we see regulation and policy work by governments - to help advance cloud computing in Asia. It measures key attributes and conditions that will help companies and individuals determine which markets are currently best placed for wide adoption of cloud computing services.
-
The Index
Cloud computing is still in its early phases and, in the absence of well defined standards and processes, it is important to invite stakeholders to create a set of industry best practices .The index is an invitation to governments and businesses – large and small – to a discussion about what needs to be done to capitalize on the opportunities that cloud computing offers to the Asia Pacific region.
-
The Countries
The 14 countries analyzed include China, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
These countries have been selected for the first version of the Index because they are key markets. The Association intends to include more countries in the region in future versions of the Index.
-
The Attributes
The Index analyses 10 key attributes critical to the deployment and use of cloud computing technology across 14 different countries. To calculate the score for each attribute we are using current and public data from sources such as World Economic Forum and industry data from members of Asia Cloud Computing Association.
-
The Future
Our next version of the index is planned to be released within the next six months. We will then incorporate more attributes including: Government Cloud Incentives; Environmental Risks; Green Regulations for Data Centers; Ecosystem Development; and Local vs.Global Provider Level Playing Field.
