I must admin I don't understand completely what you mean, but feel free
to propose a different description.
I think it is ok, but if you wanted to, you could change it to say this
OpenStack is a "cloud operating system" usable for both public
and private clouds. Its various parts take care of compute,
storage and networking resources and iterface with the user
using a dashboard. The Nova Compute services uses libvirt
to manage KVM, QEMU, LXC and Xen guests.
