Real estate agents have discovered that they use similar computing resource needs. They want to find a solution that will allow them to share industry-specific software, pool their resources, and save money while still keeping their servers and data safe and local. What will you recommend?

A community cloud allows shared cloud resources to a small number of individuals or companies. While keeping their resources separate from those of other organizations, the group can take advantage of economies of scale. They could even share in joint projects. Their servers could be stored locally by one of the members or at a data center. The group could share the costs of maintaining their cloud and have more control over it than they would over a public cloud. A community cloud is similar to a private cloud but with multiple members.
