Forbes.com recently interviewed Knode in an article “Deciding Which Cloud Services To Trust.” In the article, Knode introduces six types of questions a business should ask any potential provider of cloud services, questions covering:
- History/Reputation
- Uptime
- Portability
- Authentication
- Compliance
- Privacy
These are the general categories that comprise two dozen questions making up the CloudTrust Protocol, a protocol he and others working on it believe will bring greater transparency to cloud computing services, and thus create the type of trust in cloud computing that, as Knode says, “puts us in the business of liberation.”
