Private cloud operated within the confines of an organization’s firewall. Otherwise known as “enterprise cloud hosting.” Community cloud provides a cloud solution to a targeted community of limited users with similar requirements who work collaboratively to govern, manage and secure the solution. Public cloud provides scalable cloud solutions to external users to achieve economies of scale and resource sharing in any vertical or jurisdiction where services are shared. There may be no guarantee on where data is stored. Hybrid cloud provides cloud services managed across a blend of external and internal providers. “Cloud bursting” is the term applied when daily needs are met in a private cloud and expanded dynamically as needed into a pre-determined public cloud hybrid use arrangement.
