Community cloud market is showing a sign of growth and many organizations & government too started implementing community cloud model into their currently working systems. Organizations like EMC, VMware, Microsoft, AWS, IBM, CSC, CA Technologies, Amadeus and many others which are the main contributor to community cloud one tier technology are hoping to gain better competitive advantage in this arising market model, thereby creating flexible payment model and stack services which can enable quicker customer adoption of the same.



Major Driving Force: 

Factors like data security, regulatory compliance, high performance, low latency infrastructure, and economy of scale are turning out to be the driving force for this market. Also if we consider verticals like Healthcare, Banking, and Finance in which there is an exponential growth in the number of customers and so transaction information demands for scalable and cost effective data storage, retrieval and computation services. Further, organizations are bound to follow compliance standards like FISMA and HIPAA.
