The Open Cloud Consortium (OCC) is a non-profit organization that supports cloud computing standards and develops testbeds for interoperability. It has members from companies, universities, and government agencies. The OCC manages the Open Cloud Testbed, Intercloud Testbed, and Open Science Data Cloud. It also has working groups focused on large data clouds, applications, and cloud services. The Intercloud Testbed aims to address gaps in linking infrastructure and platform services. Benchmarks like Gray Sort and MalStone are used to evaluate large data cloud performance. The Open Cloud Testbed provides shared cloud resources through a "condominium cloud" model. The Open Science Data Cloud hosts scientific data sets for research.
