The concept of multiple organizations sharing
the resources of an extensive cloud network is
not a new one.
Cloud vendors routinely utilize community clouds in
cases where multiple organizations share the same
area of interest or background; for example, one of
the mostly commonly referenced areas such as this
would be healthcare. But area of interest is not the
only reason that a group of organizations might
share a community cloud, perhaps they require the
same type(s) of security or compliances. There are an
endless number of reasons as to why a community
cloud might be formed, but the real question is; when
is it (community cloud) a good idea and when is it a
bad idea?
