We use VMware, which is as easy to install as any software on a laptop. You need to customize for Red Hat or Rackspace versions. That's where the architect's and deployer's knowledge and skills come in. With the flexibility to use hundreds of parameters, the right knowledge help will help to choose the right ones and when to use them. If you do, it will work seamlessly 80% of the time. 20% of the time, you will need support from the community or someone who knows what is happening. You may even need to check the code to see if it works properly.

It is easy to scale, but we either need some expertise or support from the product team. Rackspace OpenStack needs to provide better support, services, or enterprise licensing to gain more customer interest. When I approach customers, they are hesitant about this solution. As a service provider, I need to give them confidence and assure them that we will help resolve any problems. There is a lack of OEM or partner licensing or enterprise support, and people are not aware of the available support.

"Administrators are very comfortable with the functionality and services OpenStack offers."
"The solution is stable."

Room for Improvement

"The deployment process could be easy."
"It should have a single dashboard for cloud management and on-premises systems"
"The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
