5.1.10 ODCA

The ODCA is an independent organization created in October 2010 with the assistance of Intel Corporation
to coordinate the development of standards for cloud computing. The organization has created a usage
model roadmap featuring 19 prioritized usage models. The usage models provide detailed requirements for
data centre and cloud solutions, and will include detailed technical documentation discussing the
requirements for technology deployments.

Four CCI related usage models have been published by ODCA, while ODCA also initiated a new PoC project
to determine where the virtual machine (VM) industry currently is in meeting interoperability requirements
outlined in the ODCA VM interoperability usage model in 2013.

Virtual Machine Interoperability Usage Model
A team led by T-Systems Telekom Innovation Laboratories, the FZI research team from the University of
Karlsruhe and supported by Intel Corporation carried out a PoC project to implement the usages described
in the document: Implementing the ODCA Virtual Machine Interoperability Usage Model.
The Implementing the ODCA Virtual Machine Interoperability Usage Model POC was developed within the
ODCA Manageability and Services Workgroup and includes specifications for interoperability developed by
DMTF, an ODCA partner organization.
