Community cloud shares infrastructure between several organisations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally. The costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud (but more than a private cloud), so only some of the benefits of cloud computing are realised. This book is your ultimate resource for Community Cloud. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know.
