Not sure I completely agree with this. I don't know what your internal discussions were, but at least one of your competitors has an 'enterprise' option in which they give you your own version of the toolkit. Sadly among this was that they stopped with their open-source contributions to the Cloud Foundry community (Their last update appears to have been over two years ago https://github.com/cloudfoundry/vcap/pull/105). I'm not complaining that an alternative to Cloud Foundry is going to exist, but I'm still a bit surprised.
In Flynn - Open Source PaaS powered by Docker
I've started looking at Cloud Foundry (http://www.cloudfoundry.com/) which is an open source PaaS solution. I found two ways you can get it up and running on a private server, either by using the Ubuntu package (http://conrey.org/2011/10/20/cloudfoundry-zero-to-server-in-...) or by using the install script from the GitHub repo and getting the latest version (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/vcap). I haven't actually gotten a chance to play with it yet so I can't tell you how it is, but looks promising :)
In Can you build your own private Heroku platform?
