OpenQRM is an open source systems management platform that automates enterprise data centers and keeps them running. OpenQRM gives you a framework from which you can deploy and boot different images on available (idle) resources. This way you can use the resources in your datacenter to the max. OpenQRM has a flexible plugin structure that enables integration with different other tools such as Nagios, HypericHQ, Webmin and many others. One of the nicest features of OpenQRM is partitioning. It is this partitioning technique that allows you to deploy multiple virtual machine instances in a farm, as if they just were a different idle resources. Today OpenQRM has support for different virtualization techniques such as Xen and VMware, but other technologies are supported from the community.
