Cloud applications are provided by Citrix and is hosted on our campus servers. Imagine a workplace where it’s easy to communicate and connect with employees, where it’s simple to guide employees on critical initiatives and objectives. Imagine a workplace where it’s inspiring to appreciate and reward folks for doing a great job, where it’s effortless to get and request feedback, understand employees’ sentiments, and keep them healthy and resilient. Everyone knows how difficult it is to grow and retain great talent, to keep them engaged, happy, and in the flow. Talent and HR Management systems have become too complex, focused on managing transactions and processes, and less about employees, teams, and business needs.

A pros and cons of cloud deployment models can be a powerful tool for businesses with the same objectives and requirements. When deciding on infrastructure migration to the cloud, private and public clouds are not the only options; community clouds can also fit the bill. The capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider’s applications running on a cloud infrastructure.

Together, we help drive an outstanding employee experience for top business performance. IBM TechXchange Community offers a constant stream of freshly updated content including featured blogs and forums for discussion and collaboration; access to the latest white papers, webcasts, presentations, and research uniquely for members, by members. Community cloud helps in information sharing without disclosing any private information. Many pharmaceutical companies are part of the healthcare sector and collaborate with hospitals to provide quick healthcare solutions. Empower your customers to find solutions to their customer-service issues on their own with access to your knowledge base, your service agents, and peer-to-peer support.

No standard cloud model exists for defining best practices and identifying security liabilities of the data and applications which would reside on these servers. Since this type of cloud is relatively new and still evolving, users may hesitate to go into the whole dilemma of abandoning the current approach. In addition to the direct benefits, it helps users avoid most of the disadvantages of Private and Public Cloud solutions. They allow users to avoid the higher cost of private clouds and the uncertainty of Public Clouds. They are multi-tenant platforms that enable different organizations to work on a shared platform.

Data Sharing

These are community clouds that are specifically meant for government bodies. Government processes and services require constant communication and data transactions between multiple departments. They all operate on similar infrastructure, with resources and services shared across them. To set up a community cloud, organizations can choose to host their own data centers and split the cost and responsibilities. This may be on-premise in the existing infrastructure of a member or even at peer facilities.

• However, it is important to note that the level of trust is not related to the actual security level.
• Government processes and services require constant communication and data transactions between multiple departments.
• Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich have long been our home, and we continue to invest in the growth of the local economy.
• Having data, applications, and systems in the cloud means that you do not have to manage them entirely.
• Hesse has been a parliamentary republic since 1918, except during Nazi rule (1933–1945).
• Within a community cloud there is no conflict between convenience and control because the cloud is shared and owned by the community, which makes all the decisions through a collective democratic process.

High availability and reliability are critical concerns for any type of cloud solution. Clients receive 24/7 access to proven management and technology research, expert advice, benchmarks, diagnostics and more. With community cloud adoption picking up pace, it is easy to get swept up in the wave.

The Google Cloud region in Berlin-Brandenburg and the expansion of our Google Cloud region in Hanau will help our customers — such as BMG, Delivery Hero, and Deutsche Bank — adapt to new requirements, new opportunities and new ways of working. This is the first energy supply of its kind in Europe, with a focus on sourcing carbon-free energy for every hour of Google’s operations. Not only will this new agreement draw the roadmap for the industry and more 24/7 carbon-free energy contracts in Europe, but it provides our cloud customers with two more regions where they can lower their carbon footprint. And importantly, by working with our energy suppliers to transform how clean energy is delivered to customers, Google is supporting the broader decarbonization of the German electricity grid. Federal agencies generally develop highly secure government clouds which ensure that the data remains protected. Moreover, there is an off-the-shelf community cloud that is tailored to meet the needs of specific industries and government agencies.

Besides these three examples, community clouds are also used by companies trying to enable remote employees to securely connect to their core systems from any device over any network. Organizations also use them to test a new piece of innovation governed by regulations before putting it on a public cloud. Community clouds are sometimes used as a stepping stone before committing to a private cloud infrastructure. In the healthcare industry, there are different scenarios in which community clouds could be of use.

Also in Hanau there used to be a plant produing nuclear fuel (classical uranium, but also MOX fuel), but the production has stopped and the facility has been mothballed. Heraeus continues to manufacture irradiation sources from Cobalt and Iridium. With Hesse’s largest city Frankfurt am Main being home of the European Central Bank (ECB), the German Bundesbank and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Hesse is home to the financial capital of mainland Europe. Furthermore, Hesse has always been one of the largest and healthiest economies in Germany. In the 2018 state elections the two leading parties, CDU and SPD, lost 11.3% (7 seats) and 10.9% (8 seats) of the vote respectively.

The plain between the rivers Main, Rhine, and lower Neckar, and the Odenwald ridge of low mountains or very high hills is called the Ried which continues to north, across the Main, as the Wetterau. Both plains which are quite densely populated also have a substantial built environment such as the country’s largest airport, contrasting with the more forested, hillier middle and northern thirds of Hesse. Orange-Nassau, whose ruler was now also King William I of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg, was ceded to Prussia but most of its territory aside from Siegen was then ceded on to Nassau. In this blog post, we’ll explore the key differences between SAP Public and Private Clouds, helping you make an informed decision for your organization’s specific requirements. The idea of “Attitude of Gratitude” was born when our founders wanted to send appreciation to their loved ones abroad – their parents, siblings, and people they truly missed. They soon realized that the workplace, fatigued by low employee engagement rates, needed new concepts for appreciation and building a great culture.

Expanding our Frankfurt cloud region to support growing demand from German businesses and organizations

The pandemic has accelerated the availability of more ready-to-use, industry-friendly clouds. COVID-19 has thrown the education sector into uncharted waters, essentially making face-to-face education close to impossible. The fast-spreading virus effectively moved all forms of learning online.

This includes incorporating third-party and custom components for ultimate customisation. Empowered e-commerce enables customers to track their accounts, and connect to other customers to share experiences with the product, add reviews, and even suggest product improvements. To make matters even easier, these bits can be packaged together in blocks of small, large, medium, or of any desirable size and can be repackaged whenever the need arises. All that matters is to deliver these bits from a source to a destination in a finite amount of time or in a very short time if the application so requires.

Security and privacy

This meant that universities and schools had to technologically catch up with other industries. A barrage of new services was required to connect administrators, teachers, students, and parents. This came with costs, licensing management, and hardware & software procurement and maintenance. Since not every university can afford this, community cloud is a solution that’s being explored across various countries.
