It is going to be dense. like harvard professor pointed out, some lucrative industries would never be profitable.. for example: Airliners.

In the battle of PR, OpenStack is building momentum. The element to watch is customer preference for solutions leveraging an OpenStack baseline … particularly the advantages of a (relatively) similar approach among multiple vendors. Now, its all in the execution.

I don’t think it’s too late but it is late. A matter a fact most are late including CloudStack. If I needed a solution today what are my real options? I know it’s not vaporware but it feels like it.

I’ll be curious if others share your view that it’s late (or too late.) AWS continues full steam ahead, that’s for sure.

Interesting. I wonder how much customization Rackspace has to the OpenStack open source baseline. The last time I saw a demo of the open source project it had a long way to go. Almost 2 years in the making you would think they have a product ready for beta. This market will not sit back and wait for the “good guys”.
