Just had this very disappointing reply when asking a commercial vendor about integrating their product with CS:
*The recent changes in Citrix corp around the strategic direction of Cloudstack leaves a lot of risk from the enterprise support aspect. Key people leaving and reorganization causing problems with viability and direction. Cloudstack has a vibrant community aspect which Citrix probably won't let die but the enterprise support side might pivot towards Openstack. This leaves Cloudstack out in the cold, not dead but only with no commercial support in the community. Most major vendors are around Openstack, and Citrix might be forced to shift. [Commercial Vendor] believes in the freedom of all clouds; however, we have to focus one area at a time. Once AWS, Openstack, hypervisor we might have capacity to be more encompassing.* Looks like Citrix really need to put out a better message to the industry if this is not the case, if only to protect their Cloud Platform revenues. It seems that a few poorly worded blog posts by ‘analysts’ have done a lot of damage. This is not the first commercial vendor that seems to hold this opinion. Is there anything more to add to this?
