openQRM 4.9 released - Cloud Zones, native VMware ESX support and more

With Cloud Zones, native VMware vSphere/ESX support and lots of improvements to the base system and plugins, openQRM 4.9 opens up new dimensions in professional datacenter management.


These are the highlights of the new version:

  • Cloud Zones
    Implement Cloud Computing services across multiple datacenter locations, each running their own openQRM infrastructure - seamlessly managed with a new infrastructure layer on top of it all.
  • Rewritten VMware vSphere/ESX support
    openQRM now natively manages VMware ESX(i) hosts and guests, using the latest and greatest features the VMware vSphere/ESX API has to offer.
  • Comprehensive, automatic Linux and Windows installation
    Seamlessly attach existing Cobbler, FAI, LinuxCOE and/or Opsi environments to your openQRM infrastructure and forget about initial provisioning hassle.

For more details please have a look at the Changelog.

The new openQRM 4.9 release is now freely available under GPLv2 license for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/openqrm/files/

The project's subversion repository got updated with the 4.9 release code.

Thanks for this release are especially going to the openQRM Enterprise team for sponsoring new features and contributing a lot of development and QA effort. Many thanks go to everybody in the openQRM community, as well, for providing us with useful feedback and bug reports.

I have to admit that I don't really know what this software should do. However, if it also works in business, I like such solutions. I also gladly use the solutions provided from https://grapeup.com/ because I know how applications running in the clouds are an important element of our entire work.
