The OpenStack project is a collection of different applications that provide the ability to run an open-source Cloud provider. Rackspace's offerings generally map to OpenStack projects. Cloud Servers is Nova[1], Cloud Files is Swift[2], Cloud Networks is Quantum[3] and Cloud Databases is Red Dwarf [4]. I'm not sure the OpenStack codename for Cloud Block Storage yet, but I'll see if I can find it.

  The Cloud Block Storage service uses Nova Volume[5] where you can plug in a number of different storage engines. [5] http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/managing-volumes.html http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/cont...
