Plug-In Overview
openQRM is based on a generic and consistent workflow architecture. The main concept behind this is that every action in openQRM is triggered by an event in openQRM and implemented by one or more plugins to actually apply the action for a specific technology or tool.
That means that the responsibility for every command in openQRM is being handed over to one or more plugins which then actually “do the work”.
Additional Plug-Ins are activated in the openQRM Plugin Manager and simply need to be started. These are only available for the Enterprise Edition.
Simply order additional Plug-Ins in the openQRM Enterprise web-shop.

Cloud
| Cloud Zones Plug-In | Manage multiple data center locations with openQRM Enterprise Cloud Zones. Cloud Zones supports splitting one or more openQRM Clouds into multiple logical zones. For each Cloud Zone, the administrator can define fine-grained permissions, dedicated hardware- and network-pools which can be assigned to Cloud User groups. Cloud Zones is completely independent of an existing openQRM Cloud installation and can be run on a dedicated system. Link to openQRM Enterprise Cloud Zones HowTo | |
| Cloud Marketplace Plug-In | Applications on demand. The openQRM Enterprise Cloud Marketplace enables you to connect applications (& installer & license manager) directly to the corresponding infrastructure (EC2, Azure, On-Premise,..) via openQRM Enterprise. The applications obtain pricing and are made available in the self-service front-end – SaaS. Integrated billing allows cost-allocation. Simply make applications available faster, more efficient, and in a more flexible way. Applications on demand without the IT overhead. |

Monitoring
| Bandwidth Monitoring Plug-In | Seamlessly gathers all specific interface and network statistics and presents them in a monthly performance metric. The bandwidth metering support in openQRM Enterprise works agent-less for physical systems and virtual machines and transparently integrates with your existing openQRM Enterprise infrastructure. Offer IT-Services with exact monitoring of bandwidth & network usage and provide overviews to your system administrators. Simply offer VMs as a Cloud Product and let your internal & external customers directly choose the services they require. |
Network
| Open vSwitch Plug-In | Allows dedicated & Isolated Cloud Networks per Cloud User. A Seamless Network Security Layer & VLAN Network Isolation for KVM Virtual Machines. Simply create auto-managed network isolation for Virtual Machine deployment and IaaS. Combined with openQRM’s advanced automated DHCP/DNS service this provides a central, multi-homed network abstraction layer including transparent VLAN Support. Simply map Ip networks to OpenVswichtes with a few mouse clicks to create and manage different network segments for IaaS Cloud Users and other purposes. You now have the power to administer multiple, dedicated, and isolated Cloud networks per Cloud user. Additionally, this also eliminates the need for a central management network since the network is centrally managed and does not require any “client” on the VM. | |
| Wake-on-Lan Plug-In | Automatically controls the power status of physical systems via the Wake-on-LAN (WOL) technology. |
Storage
| Ceph Storage Plug-In | Integrates Ceph Storage technology. |
