Abstract:
Cloud Computing has been a trending topic for years now and it seems it has finally become mature enough
for widespread commercial application. In this paper, the authors describe their approach to establish a secure
cloud architecture which conforms to the Measuring Instruments Directive of the European Union while keeping
the flexibility and benefits that cloud computing promises for companies and customers alike. The authors
introduce a modular concept of a secure cloud system architecture which will ensure cross-virtual machine
collaboration and a legitimate, secure and protected flow of measurement data.
