9.2: Cloud Data Storage
Discourage requirements that cloud data be stored within geographic boundaries. Other Information:
We should discourage U.S. government units from requiring that cloud data be stored within their own geographic boundaries
or other nations from imposing those requirements. This undermines the benefits of cloud computing and imposes unnecessary
constraints on cross-border information flows and trade agreements. Having to maintain data storage facilities in particular
countries encourages digital protectionism and harms international trade.
