OpenStack supports xen, kvm,qemu, lxc, and esxi hypervisors; iscsi, gluster, ceph, and sheepdog for block storage as of the Essex (spring 2012) release. OpenStack is the API as well as a reference implementation, and is being actively packaged for multiple linux distributions. Nothing is proscribing OpenStack from also working on Windows, and there is an ongoing effort to bring the Microsoft hyper-v supervisor into the list of supported hypervisors. OpenStack also supports an Amazon s3 like object storage service called swift.
