OpenStack
OpenStack is an open source software platform for cloud computing, deployed as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), whereby virtual servers are made available. This platform consists of components that control different hardware pools of processing, storage, and networking resources. Users manage it through a web-based dashboard or through command-line tools and through RESTful web services.
