Four regional healthcare clinics have decided to pool their IT budgets to run a specialized electronic-records application in the cloud. The environment must be accessible only to those four organizations, and all participating clinics will share governance and maintenance responsibilities. Which cloud deployment model best matches these requirements?
Because the four clinics want a cloud environment that is shared exclusively among organizations with common interests and jointly managed by those organizations, the arrangement fits the definition of a community cloud. A private cloud is controlled by a single organization, a public cloud is open to any paying customer, and a hybrid cloud combines two or more different deployment models such as private and public but does not, by itself, describe a jointly governed environment for several related entities.
