Validation and Use of Cloud Computing in FDA Regulated Environments
United States, Palo Alto
This webinar will discuss FDA requirements related to cloud computing. It will provide step-by-step recommendations for using 'clouds' from planning to reporting.
Objectives :
Cloud computing can significantly reduce investment and operating costs for IT operations. However when used in FDA and other regulated environments they need to be validated to ensure consistent on-going performance and security and integrity of stored and managed data. While there are guidelines available on how to deal with standard networks this is not the case for virtual networks and cloud computing.
This webinar will give a good understanding of FDA requirements related to cloud computing and provide recommendations for implementation.
Hands out :
For easy implementation, attendees will receive:
- SOP: Using Cloud Computing in Regulated Environments
- SOP: Using the Internet in Regulated Environments
- SOP: Qualification of Virtual Networks
Who will benefit :
- IT managers and personnel
- Everybody responsible for FDA compliance of computer systems
- Managers from purchasing, documentation and operations
- All users of computer systems used in regulated environments
- QA managers and personnel
