One last thing which is that of maturity. Although the name "CloudStack" is fairly new the
project has been around for quite a bit more time than OpenStack but just under the name VMOps
and then cloud.com before being acquired by Citrix and then eventually becoming Apache CloudStack.

Ilya, it's a difficult one to answer on this list.
However, if you try to remain objective I would point out some reading to your management:
-Dell is holding off on openstack cloud offering:
http://www.cloudecosystem.com/author.asp?section_id=1873&doc_id=256815
-HP cloud running on openstack is considered a fork (I could not find a more recent article,
so one would need to check this):
http://www.wired.com/insights/2011/09/hp-launches-cloud-beta-dell-warns-them-on-openstack-dont-fork-it-up/
-And the gartner "warning":
http://www.gartner.com/technology/reprints.do?id=1-1C3IGID&ct=120919&st=sb
Other than that, I think the best thing to do is a 2 weeks bake off at your company to evaluate
what works best for your local constraints.

and there is a much greater adoption/usage rate for openstack vs cloudstack. I don't want
to mention the numbers - but they are very significant. As a point of comparison, just go
to any job site (I used linkedin job search feature) and use look for number of current opening
for cloudstack and then openstack.
