    Ubuntu OpenStack is well suited for startups where there are very tight financial constraints. As Ubuntu OpenStack is open source, the startup organizations will not have to spend a lot when compared to their commercial offerings in the market. Ubuntu OpenStack is less appropriate in organizations where they don't want to have private on-prem clouds. As deploying a private on-prem cloud is a very cumbersome and tedious task, the organizations must have a dedicated team to manage such on-prem deployments.

    phpIPAM is great for a team environment and complex network environments so all members are informed. It's not very user-friendly for administrators to maintain; a IT individual with Linux OS experience is needed in my opinion.

    • More customizable options while choosing virtual machine configurations would be great.
    • To have regular online learning sessions directly from Ubuntu OpenStack experts [to] help users and for those who implement it.
    • Giving admin more control on what privileges they can grant to their users.

    Alternatives Considered
    Canonical Ltd
    Everybody knows VMWare which is the world's number one in data center infrastructure management. OpenStack is lot lot less expensive but doesn't offer all the functionalities you have with VMWare especially for High Availability and load balancing. You should go for OpenStack if you need an easy to use solution without the need for external consultants. If you don't have the capacity to manage your own infrastructure you had better go for VMWare.
