@qc4vmware: Thanks for the post. Yes you are rightm we did mention the Orchestration layer but no mention of the products. I think we are leaning towards comparing some of the vendors. VMware's Automation Center plus vCO & other vendors such as Cisco's CIAC or something, Dell has something of the same affect and others....but yes you are right, cost is a manjor factor and the fact that we are 99% VMware and have laready converted majority of our licensing to vCloud Suite, it might come into play heavinly while making that decision.
Thanks once again!
