Usage scenarios for openQRM include:
- High-Availability: Providing Fault-Tolerance and Fail-Over to all applications
- Server Virtualization: Convert physical Servers into Virtual Machines
- Storage Virtualization: Convert Standard-Servers into Storage-Server
- Server Consolidation: Move multiple servers onto a single physical host with performance and fault isolation provided at the virtual machine boundaries.
- Network Monitoring: Real-Time-Monitoring of Computers, Devices, Server and Applications in the entire Network
- Hardware Independence: Allow legacy applications and operating systems to exploit new hardware
- Vendor Independence: No need for any specific Hardware or vendor.
- Multiple OS configurations: Run multiple operating systems simultaneously, for development or testing purposes.
- Kernel Development:Test and debug kernel modifications in a sand-boxed virtual machine - no need for a separate test machine.
