Longer term sustainability for a potential service

The community

1. Number of alpha/beta testers (individuals) - 30
2. Number of organizations installing the service platform at their location (other than the TERENA Secretariat) - 5
3. Number of software developers (code co-owners other than the lead developer) who can work on the code to be proven - 3

Knowledgeable and reliable software development community around the open-source code.

Significant number of user communities, specific use cases.

Platform developer as single point of failure. Lack of development and support efforts.

No significant take up of the service platform.

Legal aspects and perceived trust issues related to the storage and management of the encryption keys and metadata

The service model

1. Common understanding on the legal implications of storing encrypted data blob in the cloud - Whitepaper/Wiki
2. Description of the potential service models and service delivery scenarios illustrated by use cases - Whitepaper/Wiki

Cloud platform is widely used to clearly separate the Personal Data Controller role from the Storage Data Manager role.

Organizations can pick the service model and delivery scenario that better fits to their environment and use cases.

(Legal) benefits of the platform is not understood. Perceived as yet an other personal cloud storage service.

One single service model does not fit to all organisations.

Software scalability and performance

The code

1. Security test results (System intrusion, Hacking, Data privacy) - Done
2. Compatibility test results (Operating system, Web browser, APIs) - Done
3. Performance test results (Load, Volume, Stress) - Done
4. Acceptance test results (Alpha, Beta) - Done
