The charms are your best bet if you want to run all the ops yourself. They are also a very good way to come to understand how all the parts of OpenStack fit together. But do look into the pricing of Landscape, we've aimed to reach a mass market including universities (several of our fully-managed deployments are university research offices). The cost runs from $300 to $700 per server, or alternatively fixed banded cost for clouds of particular sizes that reduce the per-node cost. I think you'd need at least a few admins with detailed OpenStack knowledge to match it. May as well keep your ops folks focused on the actual workloads that define the operation rather than infrastructure, is the thinking.
