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.

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

OSCAR (Open Source Cluster Application Resources) is a snapshot of the best known methods for building, programming, and using clusters. It consists of a fully integrated and easy to install software bundle designed for high performance cluster computing

set of utilities that provide high availability for databases using the mysql database server. includes ip address takeover, using a master node and a slave one. please send you feature requests to fipar@seriema-systems.com

Lucie enables parallel network installation of large numbers of nodes from one single administration server. It is designed to be scalable and efficient, so a complete Linux cluster can be built from scratch in a short amount of time.

SSS-OSCAR is an integrated release of the SciDAC:Scalable System Software (SSS) suite using the OSCAR cluster installation framework. The SSS project seeks to provide a standard interface for effective management and utilization of terascale systems.

Crossplatform framework for developing projects which provide services.

chainssh is a shell script to smplify the ssh login via multiple sshgateways/firewallgateaways. e.g. connect from homehost via sshgateway to a clusternode with one command.

Notp is a collection of shell scripts and a simple C daemon that allows the cluster sysadmin to quickly install/update/change the running operating system on a variety of host machines. Used with a scheduler, they provide batch-runtime OS provisioning.

(The project is OUTDATED! Please use AntMon instead: http://sourceforge.net/projects/antmon/) A program to periodically check CPU temperature of nodes in your cluster and warn the system administrator or shutdown machines automatically.
