OpenQRM is a data centre and cloud management platform for administering physical servers, virtual machines, containers and storage infrastructure. It provides a central management environment for organisations operating a mixture of computing technologies.
The platform focuses on infrastructure provisioning, virtualisation management, monitoring and automation. Its architecture separates physical computing resources from operating system images, making it possible to provision and manage systems without tying their configurations permanently to particular hardware.
OpenQRM uses a plugin-based architecture to integrate different virtualisation platforms, storage technologies and infrastructure services. This allows administrators to assemble management capabilities appropriate to their existing data centre environments.
This is free and open source software.
