I have some updates for you all on this process: -We've pushed the deadline out to a week instead of 48 hours. Given that its Labor Day weekend, we'd like responses by Wednesday 9/3 if at all possible. -Please note that this is a follow up report to our "Vendor Landscape: Private Cloud Overview" report which will be going live later this week. This is not an evaluation piece, but rather a reference point for our enterprise customers on your solution listed, along with 20+ other software only private cloud solutions. In this report, we break down terminology between cloud platforms, cloud management, and full private cloud suites and the functionality contained within each. -Additionally, please be advised that we will NOT be accepting briefings as part of this report process. You are welcome to schedule a briefing through our briefings team, but this will not delay publication of this report. Please provide feedback using this survey (link here). We will NOT be accepting feedback via email or phone inquiry. I hope this information is helpful, please reach out to me directly if you have any questions at all!

Nelson and Rich Fichera. Apache has been included in this report in the following places, please review this information and confirm its accuracy, including the table row with release date information, etc: ■ Cloud platform. This is the foundational layer that abstracts existing physical and virtual resources and presents them as an IaaS cloud environment. Core cloud platform capabilities include: self-service request workflow, resource management, automated provisioning (through element automation tools), and basic resource usage reporting. Common private cloud platforms include OpenStack, vCloud Director, and Apache CloudStack. For enterprises looking for basic IaaS services, a cloud platform can function as a standalone private cloud. However, most enterprises look for additional services that are typically found in… ■ Standalone cloud management. Cloud management tools aren’t for cloud building but rather for management and optimization of virtual resources across various deployment types. Cloud management, sold separately from cloud platforms include: Dell Cloud Manager (formerly Enstratius), RightScale, and Scalr. Unlike cloud platforms, cloud management tools cannot exist as a standalone cloud environment. These tools must connect into public and private cloud platforms. Enterprises can use these tools as its primarily private cloud management portal while also leveraging its advanced hybrid capabilities. Core cloud management capabilities include: process automation and orchestration, cost comparisons between cloud platforms supported, template designers, and cloud governance.
