CSForgeRapid deployment framework for Apache CloudStack IaaS Clouds

CSForge is a framework developed by ShapeBlue to deliver the rapid deployment of a standardised CloudStack powered IaaS cloud for small production deployments, or medium scale POCs or pilots. The framework can be used as a basis for public cloud or enterprise private cloud deployments

CSForge allows organisations to avoid the lock-in often associated with software vendors, but gives a  fixed-price, low risk approach and the peace of mind of having the backing of commercial support and services.
