What is GeoGrid

One section mentions "GeoGrid" in conjunction with OpenStack. I couldn't find mention of it on the web.

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.

needs work

Comparing Platform as a Service software (e.g. openshift) and Infrastructure as a Service software (OVirt, Opennebula, etc) based on the same properties does not seem to be fair or useful. Probably the article should break down to comparisons in those categories or focus on one. --Kozka (talk) 19:44, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
