openQRM Description

An Open Resource Manager and Data Center Management Platform. openQRM is an Open Resource Manager and Data Center Management Platform.openQRM keeps the data center running! openQRM is designed to deal with all sorts of failures automatically, thus preventing interrupts because of unexpected events. Implementing openQRM greatly improves the reliability of the x86 data-center. openQRM is an open source systems management platform which integrates with existing components in enterprise data centers to create scalable, highly available and customizable infrastructures. openQRM is derived from a proven commercial product and distributed as an open source project through SourceForge, using a modified Mozilla Public License.openQRM's architecture extends to and embraces other existing data center technologies through "plug-ins." The openQRM project team has created a number of plug-ins for broadly-used open source projects and proprietary solutions, and seeks to recruit community members to assist in additional plug-ins.openQRM leverages the proven technologies of PXE and NFS along with storing images on central storage to effectively manage the data center.The project team aims to set the standard in data center management by continuing to provide a "premiere" enterprise-grade project for automating IT infrastructure, and by embracing other technologies through increasing our offering of plug-ins.OpenQRM.org is the best destination for our project's community to share ideas and innovations. Contributed by Qlusters, openQRM.org offers a range of support and information services to benefit all users of openQRM, including implementation advice, user forums and customer feedback. Here are some key features of "openQRM": Data Center Management Capabilities: · Manages thousands of servers · Tracks your data center's usage and utilization while generating detailed reports Automatic, Policy based Provisioning: · 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 Simplify and Streamline Data Center Maintenance Tasks: · 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 Multiple Configurations: · 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 Easy to deploy: · 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 Extensible: · 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 What's New in This Release: · implemented "the Cloud billing should be plug-able" · implemented Cloud NAT feature · enhanced the kvm-plugin, group commands, states, more details · enhanced the xen-plugin, group commands, states, more details · improved iSCSI boot for the iscsi-storage and lvm-storage plugin · added Cloud-Mailer · added Cloud VCD Visual Cloud Designer ! · added Zabbix monitoring plugin · added Equallogic suppport, plugin development sponsored by XXLWebHosting · re-organized the left tree menu -> plus subsections · re-worked lvm-storage plugin · re-worked ALL storage plugins · completely re-worked the netapp-storage plugin · -> added netapp authentication hooks to fit into the storage security framework · -> tested with ontap 7.0 · added support not "un-managed" nfs-storage server via an option to manually set the export-list · reworked VMware ESX plugin · -> tested with VMware ESX 3.5 ESXi 4.0 · reworked VMware Server 2 plugin · -> tested with VMware-server-2.0.1-156745.i386 · reworked VMware Server plugin · -> tested with VMware-server 1 · reworked Xen plugin · -> tested with Xen 3.2 3.4 · reworked and finalyzed Citrix XenServer plugin · -> tested with Citrix XenServer 5.5.0 · reworked KVM plugin · -> tested with kvm-62 · New landing page with Data-Center summary · Fixed bugs : 2527643, 2636465, 2806793, 2709553, 2806816, 2781100, 2812712 · Implemented/Closed Feature requests : 2208009, 2785130, 2208012, 2153370, 2697291
