        NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
                
                    This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

                     Selecting the right cloud provider from an almost bewildering array of options continues to be difficult. One strategy is to adopt an open source IaaS platform such as OpenStack or CloudStack. This allows you to run a private cloud that is consistent with a public cloud, and to migrate from one cloud provider to another should the need arise. Going one step further, Apache’s Deltacloud abstracts away from specific provider APIs to give a consistent experience across cloud platforms.
