This openQRM plugin integrates the VMware-ESX virtualization technology.

VMware ESX is a “bare-metal” hypervisor that partitions physical servers in multiple virtual machines. Each virtual machine represents a complete system, with processors, memory, networking, storage and BIOS.

This plugin integrates VMware ESX server as another virtual resource provider for openQRM. Since VMWare ESX does not provide an API for the linux operation-system yet the integration is currently done via 'password-less ssh' to the ESX server (from the openQRM-server).
