Community cloud

A community cloud in computing is a collaborative effort in which infrastructure is shared between several organizations from a specific community with common concerns, whether managed internally or by a third party and hosted internally or externally. This is controlled and used by a group of organizations that have shared interests. The costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud, so only some of the cost savings potential of cloud computing are realized.
The community cloud is provisioned for use by a group of consumers from different organizations who share the same concerns.
