Mission Critical BI Behind every cloud is another 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. 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. 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 for load- balancing between clouds).
