Understanding VMware vCloud vs. Openstack
Virtualized Greek
APRIL 11, 2013
It’s very difficult to imagine an enterprise Cloud that both would co-exist. The drivers for a Cloud provider selecting a Cloud management platform are different from an Enterprise selecting a Cloud manager. So, it is a consideration but we are just looking at traditional enterprise public Clouds on this post.
