Spec score 7.8 #5 of 12 in Bare Metal as a Service (BMaaS) Software

What it is

openQRM Enterprise is a data centre management and cloud computing platform for managing IT infrastructure across bare-metal servers and virtual machines. Its diskless boot technology streams operating systems and applications from a central location, rather than relying on local server disks. The platform supports automated configuration management and application deployment with Puppet, and includes Nagios and Collectd monitoring and documentation. Network and storage tools include automatic IP address management and plugins for open-source and commercial storage technologies. Listed integrations and supported technologies include Proxmox, KVM, Xen, Amazon AWS EC2, Azure, and OpenVswitch. The Enterprise plan includes the full plugin library, enterprise add-ons, expert technical support, stable releases, and solution design and deployment; its edition page includes one year of minor and security updates. Enterprise SLAs define response times and support hours, with support available 24/7. The free Community plan includes community support and a plugin library, but not additional plugins; full compatibility with official plugins and support are reserved for Enterprise. Enterprise pricing is available on request.
