Open Source Systems Administration Software

TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC.

Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. Supports clusters up to 2000 nodes in size.

Rabbit Remote Control is a open-source, cross-platform, multi-protocol remote control software. Allows you to use any device and system in anywhere and remotely manage any device and system in any way. Its goal is to be simple, convenient, security and easy to use, improving work efficiency. It include remote desktop, remote control, file transfer(FTP, SFTP), terminal, remote terminal(SSH, TELNET), player, network tools etc functions. This is only a read-only mirror repository. Main repository: https://github.com/KangLin/RabbitRemoteControl

Project continued at github, see https://github.com/wolfc01/procexp/blob/master/README.md Graphical process explorer for Linux. Shows process information: process tree, TCP IP connections and graphical performance figures for processes. Aims to mimic Windows procexp from sysinternals, and aims to be more usable than top and ps, especially for advanced users. Audience for this tool: * Advanced system administrators trying to analyze on process level what is going on in a production server; * Software developers analyzing the troughput of their process: e.g. TCP throughput, memory usage, memory leaks; The most advanced feature is the monitoring of TCP/IP traffic figures, for each SINGLE process (actual connections and throughput). As far as known no other tool has this capability. In the process tree, use the right mouse button to monitor process details.

MX4J is an Open Source implementation of the Java Management Extensions technology, for both JSR 3 (JMX) and JSR 160 (JMX Remote API).

.NET VNC Viewer is a VNC viewer written entirely in C#. It is binary compatible with Smartphones, Pocket PCs and Windows desktops (.NET CF or .NET Framework). I write this because other VNC viewers on Pocket PC do not do full screen and screen rotation.

openQRM is a web-based open source datacenter management and hybrid cloud computing platform that integrates flexibly with existing components in enterprise data centers. Releases available at https://github.com/openQRM/openqrm-community. Please visit http://www.openqrm-enterprise.com for latest 5.3 free Community Release. Includes important security updates, bugfixes and enhancements especially for KVM and Cloud plugin. openQRM abstracts Virtualization and supports the following virtualization technologies: KVM, XEN, Citrix XenServer, VMWare ESX & LXC. The Hybrid Cloud Connector in openQRM supports a range of private or public cloud providers to extend your infrastructure on demand via Amazon AWS, Eucalyptus or OpenStack. openQRM automates provisioning, virtualization, storage and configuration management, and it takes care of high-availability.

rshd is a multithreaded daemon service that listens for connections on port 514 (tcp port for the shell/cmd protocol), runs commands passed by clients and sends back the results.

Reliable group communication based on IP multicast and configurable protocol stack

SmartFrog (Smart Framework for Object Groups) is a framework for configuring and automatically activating distributed applications. The SmartFrog framework is released under LGPL license. More info at: www.smartfrog.org

Acelet-Scheduler with SuperScheduler and SuperWatchdog is a Java task scheduler with daemon and GUI for system and application job scheduling, can schedule tasks in a distributed environment. Holiday adjustable. Works out-box. See http://www.acelet.com

This project provides an open framework for a web interface to the QEMU emulator and the VirtualBox command line applications that will have the capacity to be scaled across several systems built into its framework.

The open source Boinc network manager. Resistance is futile, your Boincs will be assimilated.

Bugkilla is a set of java tools for the functional test of J2EE Web Applications. Specification and execution of tests will be automated for web front end and business logic layer. One goal is to integrate with existing frameworks and tools.

CACANMS is an acronym for Computer Aided Campus Area Network Management System. The system consists of software components and a library of about 60 classes. It is divided into three types of subsystems which reside on different servers and communicate.

Clockwork is an enterprise job scheduler. It's like a distributed cron, but with more features like redundancy, complex job dependencies, and graphical representation of job schedules.

DPytHOS is a means for administrators of large networks to both monitor and manage the servers under their control. DPytHOS is implemented in python and uses a generic database back-end (with MySQL supported and MS-SQL 2000 supported via XML)
