Citrix announces “Project Olympus”, a cloud infrastructure based on the OpenStack project, the cloud computing platform which Rackspace released under an open source license in July last year. OpenStack is becoming a quite popular platform, because beginning this month, Ubuntu announced that it will leave Eucalyptus for OpenStack.

Project Olympus provides:

• Citrix-certified version of OpenStack, and cloud-optimized version of Citrix XenServer
• Support for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere
