From a very high level view:

  • Open Stack is sort of framework to manage your cloud but you need to implement things
  • Cloud Stack / Cloud Shift / Rancher are more or less solutions to get your cloud running but less customizable

Then, where does Nutanix go? Is it unique through extended storage support?

Nutanix is proprietary Software-Defined Storage stack (NDFS, Nutanix Distrubuted File System) which is nothing but NFS/SMB3 gateway built on top of Java-written Cassandra DB, + open-source derived Prism UI for management, + performance and backup-specific (CBT-bases snapshots for integration with Veeam backup etc). In a nutshell: nothing unique :)
