INTRODUCTION
The cloud computing services are very much important as it helps the business
enterprises to allow the optimization of the resources. The application of the cloud
computing services are very much important to minimize the cost involved in business
enterprises as well as the energy consumption of the enterprises. Affordable payments
and privacy controls are provided by most of the reputed cloud service providers. Wide
range of open source solutions are readily available in the market which are needed to
be analyzed before choosing it such as Nimbus, Open Nebula, Cloud stack and Open
stack.
Purpose of the research: The purpose of this research paper is to focus on the general
architecture of the different types of open cloud platforms software. The specifications if different
types of cloud platforms are very much important for the researchers of this document to
understand the compatibility associated with the enterprise.
