We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The Apache CloudStack is open source, so you do not have licenses to purchase."
  • "​Give an effort to planning. If possible, contract a specialized consultant company for the initial setup and knowledge transfer.​​"
  • "As far as I know, CS is still free of charge. If you want to pay some money, Citrix Cloud Platform is based on CS, I think. As for hypervisors – everything as usual, you need to pay for VMware and vCenter. As for XenServer, recently they changed the free feature list, so you may need to pay some money to get useful features like XenMotion."
  • "There is no license, so the product is free unless you are buying professional technical support services."
  • "CloudStack is an open source solution, so you don't need to pay anything for it. When our company develops something specially for CloudStack, it is donated to the Apache Software Foundation and provided to anyone that wants to use it."
  • "The solution is open-source and free."
  • "It is a 100% open-source solution needing just an Apache license. Also, there are no hidden fees to be paid."
  • "CloudStack is an open-source product."

    Overview
    Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform.

    Velostrata software lets you move workloads to the public cloud in minutes, while controlling and automating where storage resides—on premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both.

    Our patent pending technology uniquely decouples compute (VMs) from storage (VMDKs), and provides intelligent streaming, WAN and storage optimization, multi-tier caching, and data pre-fetching capabilities that make it possible to move compute to the cloud in minutes—and seamlessly move storage if and when it makes sense. These patent-pending technologies ensure optimal application performance, even over a WAN. Even better, you can move applications to AWS or Azure without changing the application, modifying the image, or changing your management processes.
