About openQRM
openQRM is the next generation, Open Source Data Center Management and Cloud Computing Platform designed to fully automate data centers and manage them in a scalable way. Among its many characteristics is a unique architecture that unifies physical and virtual machine deployment within a single management console. openQRM integrates with all mainstream virtualization technologies and supports transparent P-to-V, V-to-P and also V-to-V migrations.
openQRM's storage integration uses snapshots to clone servers for rapid deployment, backup/restore, server versioning, disk re-sizing and persistent cloud storage. openQRM also provides “N-to-1” failover allowing groups of servers to use a single “standby”. It also has the ability to fail over from physical to virtual machines, and an open API to integrate with existing business processes and other data center related tools.

Virtualization
openQRM supports all mainstream Virtualization Technologies such as VMware, Citrix XenServer, Xen and KVM and conforms them within a generic Virtual Machine Management console. Not limited to VM management, openQRM also deploys physical servers and offers transparent P2V, V2P and V2V migration.
Storage
openQRM's architecture is based on centralized storage systems. With its integrated storage management openQRM supports Netapp, Equallogic, NFS, iSCSI and ZFS storage types and even provides custom storage types for rapid cloning and snapshotting of server-images.
Central Management
With its concept of "plug-ability" openQRM combines proven open-source products and commercial third-party components for data center administration, system- and service-monitoring, high-availability and automated provisioning within a single management console.
