Smart Cloud Strategy Making the computer resources users require available as services “when they need them, and in just the right amount” Cloud services (Services that use cloud computing technology) Cloud services (Services that use cloud computing technology) ■ Lagging behind in utilization of ICT in government; medical care; education; agricultural, forestry, and fisheries; etc. ■ Need for full utilization of ICT through diffusion of cloud services ■ Lagging behind in utilization of ICT in government; medical care; education; agricultural, forestry, and fisheries; etc. ■ Need for full utilization of ICT through diffusion of cloud services Delay in utilization of ICT ■ Even when viewed internationally, Japan has the world’s best network (broadband) for use of cloud services. The world’s most advanced network environment Realizing full utilization of ICT through development and diffusion of next-generation cloud services (smart cloud services) that can reach beyond corporate and industrial frameworks to share vast volumes of information and knowledge among all social systems Smart cloud services Utilization Strategy Technology Strategy International Strategy 4

Utilization Strategy ■ Promotion of ICT Utilization (examples) ✔ Medical care cloud ✔ Education cloud ✔ Agriculture cloud ■ Advancing social infrastructure (examples) ✔ Smart grid ✔ Green ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) ✔ Management of roads & bridges through IPv6 based sensor networks ■ Vitalization of SMEs & venture companies (examples) ✔ Cross-regional cooperation between SMEs ✔ Improvement of Supply Chain Management through cloud services 5

Technology Strategy ■ R&D ✔ Technology for collection, extraction, accumulation and modeling of a vast majority of real-time streaming data and its optimization at times when conditions change ✔ Technology that enhances security and reliability ✔ Technology that promotes “Green ICT” --- Green by ICT : Green cloud data centers --- Green of ICT ■ Standardization ✔ User-centric approach is required. ”Elimination of excessive lock-in” vs “Ensuring service & technology innovation” ✔ Focus should be put on: --- SLA --- Security level --- Interoperability for hybrid cloud services 6

International Strategy ■ With the widespread use of cloud services, case storing and processing of data overseas may increase. ■ Issues to be discussed at international fora （ examples ） ✔ Jurisdiction over databases stored in other countries (eg. privacy protection act) ✔ Dispute settlement mechanism ✔ Countermeasures against “harmful” information ✔ Possibility of government intervention with respect to private-sector data ✔ Ownership of IPRs regarding data stored on a cloud data center in other countries ■ Towards consensus building ✔ Cooperation between public and private sectors ✔ ITU, OECD, APEC, and other international fora ✔ Bilateral consultations 7
