Dell a vice President of the United States "Network World" sister website ITWorld said, dell may always have to wait until the end of 2013 before release outside long-awaited OpenStack public cloud.

At present dell has launched a based on the VMware tenants public cloud services, named "dell vCloud". This service is managed in the enterprise own data center. However, probably in late 2013 released a new product will be based on open source platform, and is no longer VMware.
