The Open Cloud Consortium (OCC) is a non-profit organization that supports the development of cloud computing standards and technologies. It manages several testbeds and working groups focused on areas like large data clouds, interoperability, and disaster relief applications. The document provides updates on the OCC's Intercloud Testbed, which aims to address gaps in cloud standards, as well as its Open Cloud Testbed which offers resources to members through a "condominium cloud" model.
