One last thing which is that of maturity. Although the name "CloudStack" is fairly new the project has been around for quite a bit more time than OpenStack but just under the name VMOps and then cloud.com before being acquired by Citrix and then eventually becoming Apache CloudStack.

However, if you try to remain objective I would point out some reading to your management: -Dell is holding off on openstack cloud offering: http://www.cloudecosystem.com/author.asp?section_id=1873&doc_id=256815 -HP cloud running on openstack is considered a fork (I could not find a more recent article, so one would need to check this): http://www.wired.com/insights/2011/09/hp-launches-cloud-beta-dell-warns-them-on-openstack-dont-fork-it-up/ -And the gartner "warning": http://www.gartner.com/technology/reprints.do?id=1-1C3IGID&ct=120919&st=sb Other than that, I think the best thing to do is a 2 weeks bake off at your company to evaluate what works best for your local constraints. -Sebastien On Jan 23, 2013, at 1:35 AM, "Musayev, Ilya" <imusa...@webmd.net> wrote: > So would like to start by saying - I'm all for CS - I really like the > community, what it offers and simplicity. > > With that in mind, I need help defending CloudStack vs OpenStack to my > management team. > > Basically I was approached by management team saying they attended an > executive meeting and there is a much greater adoption/usage rate for > openstack vs cloudstack.
