A community cloud is a type of hybrid cloud that is tailored to a limited number of separate organisations with common technology concerns (or requirements). For the most part, the conversation around community clouds is centered around the government sector whereby different government departments, ministries or offices have shared national goals and common technology concerns around security, data governance and collaboration.
I’ve been thinking that another set of organisations where a community cloud may fulfill a much needed role is NGOs, charities and human rights organisations.
