Abstract

   Many organizations are now investing in cloud computing because they have realized it has the ability to promote rapid growth while at the same time reducing the speed and costs of application deployment. Enterprises no longer need to maintain computing resources that are used periodically and left idle most of the time. Choosing the best cloud solution for our organization can be challenging. A cloud solution requires high processing power and a very large storage space. Efficiency, easiness of maintenance and configuration are the key components when choosing our cloud solution. For open source Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) there are two key players: OpenStack and CloudStack. Both solutions are open source software platforms for IaaS that offer cloud orchestration architectures used to make the management of cloud computing easier and more efficient. This article compares each component of these platforms and offers clear solutions adapted for our infrastructure. Although there are many articles taking in consideration this thematic, the article takes a new approach by making a comparative analysis on for each similar component showing advantages and disadvantages over the other cloud solution.
