Open Extensible Architecture

Existing IT management systems and configuration management databases (CMDBs) can easily be integrated with DynamicOps Virtual Resource Manager by extending workflows, creating plugins, and accessing the VRM data store.

• Any VRM workflow can be extended to call external systems and exchange data with them.
• Because VRM's workflow engine is based on Windows Workflow Foundation (a component of .Net 3.0), More resources are available to customize VRM’s workflow than solutions based on proprietary workflow implementations.
• Specialized plugin interfaces support programmers in quickly developing custom plugins for transparent interaction with external applications, agents, and services
• The VRM data store captures a full audit trail of all events executed within a VRM workflow. VRM’s repository is easily accessed via SQL and XML interfaces so that information can easily be consumed by corporate reporting and auditing systems for purposes such as chargeback and resource usage analysis.

• Logical Architecture - VRM’s architectural design provides a common environment for managing multiple virtualization hypervisors.
• Intuitive Management Interfaces - VRM’s web console and command line interface are built on a foundation of Microsoft .NET 3.0 web services.
• Open Workflow Management - Based on Windows Workflow Foundation, VRM ‘s workflow provides an open interface for integrating with other software applications.
