4. The NIST Definition Offers Multiple Delivery Models for Cloud Computing Public Internet Public Cloud: The cloud infrastructure is made available to the general public or a large industry group and is owned by an organization selling cloud services. Community Cloud: The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise. Hybrid Cloud: The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting). Private Cloud Commercially Hosted: Publically available Cloud Computing services offered through commercial sources that are dedicated and separate from the Public both physically and logically and must to remain within the U.S. borders to support heighted data security and privacy requirements. Access to these services are provided through a dedicated Government Intranet and is not accessible from the Public Internet. Government Dedicated Intranet Private Government Cloud : The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an organization. It may be managed by the organization or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise. Cloud Sourcing Models Outsourced Government Trust (Security and Data Privacy) High Low Private Government Cloud Private Commercially Hosted Cloud Public Cloud Hybrid Government Cloud Community Cloud

Editor's Notes
01/25/12 Confidential - Draft for Review and Comment
Each of the roadmaps for the respective workgroups will roll up to this view. Implementation Plans should roll up as well to provide greater detail in the 12 to 24 month timeframe.
