This is part of the greater Cloud Automation and Orchestration practice and borderline Business Service Management. Your peer was right to point at vRealize but a bit off with OpenStack. The Ironic project in OpenStack has promise to evolve into something you are envisioning.
Your commercial options are: 1. HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) - Disclosure (again), I work for HP and also handle the CSA product. 2. VMware vRealize 3. and to a certain extent, Red Hat CloudForms/ManageIQ You may also want to check out Mirantis Fuel. I'm pretty sure your UNIX requirements can only be addressed by CSA and an IBM solution.
