Version 4.6 of openQRM
Release Notes: One of the most important new features in openQRM 4.6 is the "Cloud Selector", which the Cloud Administrator uses to define Cloud Products (e.g. CPUs, memory, disk space, VM types, applications, etc.) and their pricing. The updated Cloud configuration now allows you to configure the mapping between the virtual Cloud Computing currency CCU (Cloud Computing Unit) and a real currency unit (e.g. US Dollar or Euro). Additionally, a Cost Calculator displaying the exact costs and hourly, daily, and monthly charges was added in the Cloud Request Forms.
