CCEX Cloud Commodities Exchange GmbH enables Cloud Computing Resources e.g. IaaS, PaaS, etc. to be traded similar to traditional commodities such as crude oil, gas, electricity, etc. via already existing exchanges such as Singapore Exchange - SGX, Hong Kong Exchange - HKEX, London Stock Exchange - LSE, New York Stock Exchange - NYSE, Deutsche Börse, etc. With exchange-traded cloud computing, CCEX is introducing a whole new Asset Class to Cloud Consumers, Cloud Providers, Banks and Exchanges. That asset is the most in-demand commodity of our times, as essential to the world economy in the 21st century as oil was in the 20th. To make this happen, CCEX will do to cloud computing exactly what was done to oil in the 1970s, and to every other widely-demanded commodity in the history of the world: CCEX will define Cloud Benchmarks, license Cloud Benchmarks / Order Books (Revenue Share with Exchanges) and create Cloud Indices.
