Beginning with a brief overview of private cloud computing and the evolution of on-premises private clouds, we will compare Cisco Metapod to options from VMware and the OpenStack community. We’ll also describe Cisco’s unique OpenStack as a Service (OaaS) operating model, and present Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses that compare Cisco Metapod to VMware vCloud Director and an OpenStack Do-It-Yourself (DIY) strategy.

The Cisco Online Privacy Statement and this summary apply to Cisco’s websites and our affiliates’ websites that link to the Statement.
