Private Cloud

If a business wants some of the flexibility of the cloud, needs complete

ownership of its data, and can afford both, it can build an internal cloud the

business actually owns—a private cloud. A security-minded company with

enough resources could build an internal IaaS network in an onsite data

center. Departments within the company could create and destroy virtual

machines as needed, and develop SaaS to meet collaboration, planning, or

task and time management needs all without sending the data over the open

Internet. A company with these needs but without the space or knowledge to

build and maintain a private cloud can also contract a third party to maintain

or host it.

Again, there are private versions of each of the cloud concepts:

• Private IaaS

• Private PaaS

• Private SaaS

Community Cloud

While a community center is usually a public gathering place for those in the

community it serves, a community cloud is more like a private cloud paid for

and used by more than one organization. Community clouds aren’t run by a

city or state for citizens’ use; the community in this case is a group of

organizations with similar goals or needs. If you’re a military contractor

working on classified projects, wouldn’t it be nice to share the burden of

defending your cloud against sophisticated attackers sponsored by foreign

states with other military and intelligence contractors?

Just like with the public and private cloud, there are community cloud

versions of all the xaaS varieties:

• Community IaaS

• Community PaaS

• Community SaaS
