Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution.

OnApp software enables Infrastructure-as-a-Service for hosts, telcos and other service providers. With OnApp in your datacenter you can use commodity hardware to sell public & private cloud services, dedicated servers, Virtual Private Servers, CDN, DNS, storage and much more, through one fully automated control panel.

CloudStack and OnApp are both cloud management platforms, but much like the difference between a spaceship that can travel to the outer reaches of the galaxy and a lovely, reliable hovercraft for zipping about town, they cater to rather different needs. CloudStack is the sort of open-source cloud orchestration platform that could, in theory, rebuild the entire digital universe from scratch if one had the patience (and possibly a towel) for such things. It's perfect for those who prefer to tinker with virtual machine management, orchestrate vast networks and provision storage like a galactic traffic controller on a caffeine high. If you want full flexibility and the power to shape the cloud like a primordial deity, CloudStack's your beast.
On the other hand, OnApp is like a friendly guide who’s already sorted out all the messy details, offering a sleek, commercial platform for people who prefer their cloud management with fewer buttons to press and far less chance of catastrophic explosions. It’s designed for service providers and enterprises who want to deploy clouds quickly, with features like CDN, disaster recovery and billing automation, all wrapped up in a neat little bow. Rather than wrestling with the complexity of the cosmos, OnApp gives you everything you need to manage your cloud as if you were running a small, efficient starport for clients, without the fuss.
