This age is known as a service oriented age due to the globalization and advancement in technology day by day which lead business developers to deploy their services over the cloud. It lead to the development of new platform that has the capability to easily cope with the business expectations and has introduced a tough competition between the platform providers. These days Services like IaaS has been provided by many cloud service providers along with PaaS and SaaS. We provide a comparative study in between the types of platform (open source cloud platform as OpenStack and proprietary based platform as Eucalyptus) for deployment of IaaS , which has taken into consideration the size of deployment, manageability and fault tolerance, API provisioning /support, performance, compatibility with other platforms and types of services to be hosted. We discussed here about two high demanding IaaS platform provided by OpenStack and Eucalyptus. Both of the platform providers are competitive in terms of deployment of IaaS and service provisioning to its big clients. We also discussed here about the tools that can be used with these cloud platforms to easily install services on these clouds.
