Staff Cloud is a term used to describe a massively distributed model of work production and staffing available within the cloud computing paradigm. In the Staff Cloud paradigm, work that is traditionally dependent on local offices, local talent pools, and local networks is shifted or extended to be accessible and deliverable via the Internet. Work production migrates to areas where better talent can deliver better results at lower cost.
StaffCloud applications use massive peer-to-peer clusters of superior talent that deliver work through data centers and powerful servers that host web applications and web services. They can be accessed by any organization with a suitable Internet connection and a standard web browser.
In the ‘Staff’ paradigm, an organization has full and part time staff. In the ‘Staff Cloud’ paradigm an organization has fewer local staff and a mix of work services (payroll, human resources, marketing, sales, accounting, R & D) from the available ‘Staff Cloud’.
[edit] Architecture
The architecture behind a StaffCloud is a network of 'staff service providers' interconnected as if in a grid (grid computing) running in parallel. Work production follows a Server Oriented Architecture (SOA) where the organization pays only incrementally for work provided rather than incurring the costs and risks associated with salaried production. Parallelization across time zones allows for massive increases of work production while decreasing costs.
[edit] Implementation
Staff Cloud services are often provided using cloud computing applications and are designed to mimic the experience of local talent resources.
