[edit] Utility Hosting and Accounting

Enomalism uses an open source allocation system called Gold. It is an open source accounting system that tracks and manages resource usage on High Performance virtual servers. It acts much like a bank in which resource credits are deposited into accounts with access controls designating which users, projects and machines may access the account.
