The purpose of this document is to define the scope of the project, assign a Project Manager (PM), define the scope of authority and responsibilities of the PM, identify the project team and its functions and responsibilities, indicate the sources of funding and key stakeholders, and outline oversight and governance organizations. This document also lays the groundwork for decisions and planning regarding project direction, outcomes, and delivery. Upon approval of this project plan, work will be initiated on the project and the necessary resources will be committed to achieve project success.
The objectives that this project is seeking to achieve are:
Integration of all the systems (including databases and infrastructure) for these two organizations; and,
Addressing the need for a network topology that will address security, resiliency and business continuity challenges both day-to-day and in the event of a man-made (i.e., hacker) or natural (earth quake) disaster.

It may be owned and operated by one or more organizations in that community.
Private clouds are provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g., business units). It may be owned, managed, and operated by the organization, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off premises.
Hybrid clouds are a combination of clouds of different types. The individual clouds remain unique entities but are bound together by standardization or proprietary technology that allows data and application portability.
As Green Computing, Inc. depends on a CSP to host its digital market place, it needs a hybrid cloud solution. There are facets of its business that need to remain private, a hybrid solution will provide the security needed to support both of these competing requirements.
According to the research done by Lacity and Reynolds, there are common challenges that small and medium sized organizations like Green Computing, Inc. face when considering using a CSP. They also identified ten practices used by subject matter experts to overcome these challenges. This information can be found in Figure 8
