If you need to support diverse infrastructures then you need OpenStack. Also if you can't afford to pay costly licenses for commercial products then it is a no brainer. If you need to quickly recover for failures OpenStack will provide self healing and automatic load balancing! Don't use it if your hardware is homogeneous.
