The specification has had the input of the following notable member companies: NetIQ, Microsoft, CA, Huawei, VMware, Fujitsu, Citrix, EMC and others The CADF has the following alliance partners who liaise to the working group: The Open Group (TOG), ITU-T (Cloud Audit and SLM WGs), Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), NIST (SLA and Metrics WGs), and others The CADF also works closely with the DMTF Cloud Mgmt. Working Group (CMWG) so that CMWG specified management activities are able to produce CADF formatted events and logs.
