“OpenStack is designed to manage both software-centric and
storage-centric aspects of cloud computing, focusing on clusters
that can leverage distributed resources. OpenStack got its early
momentum from Rackspace and NASA, and now Rackspace offers
Rackspace Cloud: Private Edition, an OpenStack-powered cloud
platform featuring managed services and–most important of
all–operational support. CIOs who are interested in OpenStack for
their organizations can now concoct their own deployments, as
OpenStack is available under an Apache license, or they can seek
fully supported deployments. “
