Paypal struggles free of VMware lock-in, goes with OpenStack • The Register

Open (source + standards) infrastructure as a service; also see PayPal to stick with VMware, at least in part, says VMware
"OpenStack, a kind of Linux-for-the-cloud, contains APIs for compute, storage, networking and management all under an Apache license.
PayPal’s rolling out OpenStack using a set of pre-integrated and polished APIs called FUEL from Mirantis, which claims 40 successful OpenStack deployments. FUEL wraps the basic OpenStack APIs with deployment scripts and other APIs and code from Mirantis to make it easier to install, manage and scale than the basic OpenStack code."
