One commentator on the Business Insider post points out “In the actual world, OpenStack is not really free – one still has to pay tonnes of money to the “Consultants” who will implement & maintain the OpenStack This is just like RedHat - which makes money from IT services and gives away Linux for free.”
In the OpenStack space companies like Mirantis, Piston Cloud, CloudScaling,Nebula and even IBM IBM +0.87%, Canonical and Red Hat are begining to benefit from this new consultant centric view of IT rather then the more traditional one size fits all approach of data center software popularized by VMware.
