Capgemini Cloud Computing Reference Architecture CCRA A skeleton framework for overall Global metho

Across the Group and in external standards bodies there are a number of initiatives that are progressing in defining a Cloud Computing Reference Architecture.

Capgemini is playing a leading role in many of these to establish the company and the industry through leadership direction for Cloud Computing.

Examples of these models can be downloaded in the Capgemini University Cloud Computing Course EL2 Module or from the URLs provided in this list below.

We would like to hear from people developing Cloud standards. The work below are in progress and the aims are t bring this into a complete set of model views with the Capgemini Community support.
