Quick Look: OpenQRM Systems Management

From InfoWorld: Quick Look: OpenQRM Systems Management.

The goal of OpenQRM is to provide a basis to start uniting other open source management tools in a unified matter that allows for each of use and deployment. The fundamental painpoint that led to the development of OpenQRM was the fact that IT shops were moving to commodity hardware but finding that management tools lacked-which defeated the very economics behind using cheap boxes. This sentiment is very similar to a number of other companies-mainly proprietary vendors who have built large scale apps (Cassatt), and appliances (Levanta) to manage the proliferation of Linux boxes and open source apps.
