The Evolution of Salesforce Community Cloud

A Salesforce community cloud is in many ways similar to a public cloud except that its access is limited to a specific community of cloud consumers. The community cloud may be jointly owned by the community members or by a third-party cloud provider that provisions a public cloud with limited access.
The nature of any public cloud is to meet the necessities that a majority of its clients require. There are always trade-offs in functionality, standardization, and expenses. While this might be good for most industries, it often is not enough for client groups with special requirements, like financial institutions, government organizations, or pharmaceutical companies. To drive cloud adoption for those clients, we need a cloud that can meet their particular needs. Such clouds are referred to as community clouds because they are designed to serve a special community of clients. A community cloud is an infrastructure that is shared by several organizations with similar concerns.
Here’s a flashback!
Cloud computing is persistently developing and cloud-service providers (CSPs) may offer hybrid clouds that combine features of both the public and private models. Community clouds are a recent variant of hybrid clouds that are built to serve the particular needs of various business networks.
Public Cloud:
In a public cloud, individual businesses share on the cloud and access to basic computer infrastructure (servers, storage, networks, development platforms, etc.) provided by a CSP. Public clouds are usually based on massive hardware installations circulated in areas all through the nation or over the globe. Public clouds are highly cost-effective because the business only pays for the computer resources it uses. In addition, the business has access to state-of-the-art computer infrastructure without having to purchase it and hire IT staff to install and maintain it. The main disadvantage of public clouds is that advanced security and privacy provisions are beyond their capabilities.
Public clouds are well suited for hosting development platforms or web browsers, for enormous information preparing substantial requests on PC assets, and for companies that do not have advanced security concerns.
Private cloud:
In a private cloud, a business approaches a cloud that isn’t imparted to any other person. The business regularly sends its own stages and programming applications on the cloud framework.
An essential detriment of private clouds for some companies is that the company is responsible for managing its own development platforms and software applications on the CSP’s infrastructure. Private clouds have the additional disadvantages that they tend to be more expensive and the company is limited to using the infrastructure specified in their contract with the CSP.
Hybrid cloud:
In a hybrid cloud, a company’s cloud deployment arrangement is part of public and private cloud infrastructure. Sensitive data remains within the private cloud where high-security norms can be kept up. Tasks that don’t make utilization of delicate information are carried out in the public cloud where infrastructure can scale to meet demands and costs are reduced.
Hybrid clouds also give companies the option of running their public-facing applications or their capacity-intensive development platforms in the public portion of the cloud while their sensitive data remains protected.
Community cloud:
Community clouds are a recent variation on the private cloud model that provides a complete cloud solution for specific business communities. Organizations share frameworks provided by the CSP for software and development tools that are designed to meet community needs. What’s more, every business has its own particular private cloud space that is worked to meet the security, protection, and consistency needs that are common in the community.
Community clouds are an appealing choice for organizations in the well-being, monetary or lawful circles that are liable to strict administrative consistence. They are additionally appropriate to overseeing joint tasks that advantage from sharing community-specific software applications or development platforms.
The development of salesforce community clouds illustrates how cloud computing has evolved and continues to do so.
