Boris Renski，OpenStack集成咨询公司Mirantis的联合创始人，在博客中表达了对于VMware加入OpenStack项目的反对意见，主要担忧这会影响到OpenStack作为VMware替代方案的地位，并可能导致用户转向其他开源云平台如Citrix支持的Apache CloudStack和Eucalyptus。同时，Gartner分析师Lydia Leong认为VMware希望通过将Nicira技术整合进OpenStack来获取更多优势。

评：Boris是OpenStack Mirantis的co-founder

In a blog post on the Mirantis website, Renski says his opposition comes down mostly to marketing and perception of OpenStack as an alternative to VMware.

评：Boris从市场角度以及用户群细分的角度，对VMware的加入表示反对。

he believes it could drive users to competing open source cloud projects, such as the Citrix-backed Apache CloudStack and Eucalyptus, which do not have associations with VMware.

评：知道了两个开放平台：CloudStack和Eucalyptus

Gartner cloud analyst Lydia Leong, who has been tracking the OpenStack project, says ever since VMware's purchase of Nicira, it was inevitable that VMware would in some way or another be involved in OpenStack. The company wants its Nicira technology -- for which it paid a hefty price -- to be fully used within the OpenStack ecosystem.

Gartner的分析师Lydia Leong认为，VMware想把其Nicira技术使用到OpenStack中。

There could be some ancillary benefits as well, including VMware getting more insight into strategies of other member companies, such as Cisco, HP, Dell and Red Hat.

也许 Cisco, HP, Dell 和 Red Hat，都曾参与到OpenStack的开发中，VMware可能可以通过介入OpenStack，了解到这些商业对手(或伙伴)的技术和策略。
