The concept behind openQRM is ease of implementation in existing complex data center environments.

• Manages thousands of servers
• Tracks your data center’s usage and utilization while generating detailed reports

• Assigns servers to users and applications according to defined policies
• Dynamically adjusts the amount of allocated servers according to actual usage
• Provides high availability for enterprise services and applications
• Redeploy applications and prepare machines for maintenance with a single click

• Separate running applications from physical servers, thereby allowing flexible use of resources and ease of management
• Advanced image management allows shared resources between similar environments

• Supports booting servers from local disk, NAS or iSCSI
• Supports different partitioning technologies, such as VMWare and Xen
• Full support for servers running Linux 2.4 and 2.6
• Partial support for servers running Microsoft Windows

• Use simple tools to add servers and applications to the openQRM management coverage
• Integrate and leverage existing infrastructure software such as VMWare, Nagios and others
• Use ready made packages to support specific configurations like 3-tier web applications environment

Multiple Interfaces:

• Secure Web Interface provides easy management and control
• Powerful Command Line Interface (CLI) allows custom scripts
• Complete "triggers" mechanism allows users to hook their own applications and scripts to events happening in the system

• Advanced Plug-in architecture allows the addition of new components to any part of the system — including user interface, monitoring agents, decision engines and more
• Plug-ins can be written in Java, PHP or any scripting language
• Open Source Code allows advanced users to modify the system according to their needs
