Needs to be reorganized

It is unclear to me what the table headers mean.

  • "As a service": Does this mean that it requires no installation? They all do, except that some are offered by their sponsoring companies as paid services.
  • "Supported Hosts": What is the difference between running on Linux or Windows and running on Bare Metal?
  • "Supported Clients": It's all confused. For example, AppScale does not run Vmware, Xen, or KVM. AppScale runs under Vmware, Xen, or KVM.
  • "Features": the headers are defined ambiguously. For example, the way that AppScale supports S3 is different in nature than the way Eucalyptus supports S3.

I think part of the problem is that we are carelessly mixing both Platform as a Service software and Infrastructure as a Service software.
