Thanks Rohit
Some useful reading, which I found interesting.
Would I be correct to assume vAPPs in XS is a basic version of VPC in CS,
or are they totally different.
XenServer vAPPs provides a way to logically group multiple VMs and that
group is treated and managed as a single entity. VPC (virtual private
cloud) is like a private cloud container which has its own network and
is logically isolated CloudStack and it was modeled like AWS VPC
(http://aws.amazon.com/vpc).

Hi Ian,
Hi All
Openstack is now dumped as the preferred route to a private cloud
solution.
Due to the issues with getting that installed, I need to get buy-in to
consider redeployment using Cloudstack.
We have got xenserver 6.2 running with EQLX as shared storage, so no
issues
with these.
What I am struggling with is being able to list the benefits of CS over
just XS deployment. So if anyone has migrated from XS to CS due to
restrictions, plase advise what these were.
You can control a cluster of XS hosts using XenCenter but it may not be
scalable and manageable since you mention that in future you may need to
support multiple sites, need account/project management etc.
OpenStack is not a turn-key solution, I think it's more like a
toolkit/framework so it usually takes a lot of time. Apache CloudStack
on the other hand is a turn-key solution. You may google why people
chose CloudStack, see this for example:
http://insights.wired.com/profiles/blogs/why-cloudstack
As for list of features, some of the them are listed here:
http://cloudstack.apache.org/software/features.html
We need to be able to deploy across multiple sites and isolate 'projects'
and future expectations is SaaS/PaaS requirements as we diversify our
product ranges.
If it gives you some assurance, there are large number of hosting,
IaaS/Paas/SaaS companies using it:

really-all-using-cloudstack/
You may checkout following case studies where people are doing PaaS/SaaS
work using CloudStack:
