From the ODCA Website: The Open Data Center Alliance recognizes the need to develop Standard Units of Measure (SUoM) to describe the quantitative and qualitative attributes of services to enable an easier and more precise comparison and discovery of the marketplace. This usage model is designed to provide subscribers of cloud services with a framework and associated attributes used to describe and measure the capacity, performance, and quality of a cloud service, and this webcast aims at providing a high level overview of this important document.
