Free enterprise architecture defined software for linux

An open Quality of Service Architecture is an open architecture for the provisioning of Quality of Service related functionality into the Linux kernel.
The project features a flexible, portable and lightweight software architecture for supporting QoS related services on the top of a general-purpose operating system as Linux. The architecture is well founded on formal scheduling analysis and control theoretical results.
At the core of the software there is an adaptive Resource Reservation layer that is capable of dynamically adapting the CPU allocation for QoS aware applications based on its run-time requirements.
As it is highlighted by the AQuoSA architecture, the project is mainly composed of two components:
- the QoS Res module, for which you can browse online the kernel, application and internal APIs
- the QoS Mgr module, for which you can browse online the kernel, application and internal APIs
Enhancements:
- Some bug fixed

Growler is a C++-based distributed object and event architecture. The software is written in C++, and supports serialization of C++ objects as part of its Remote Method Invocation, Event Channels, and in its Interface Definition Language.

Its primary application has been in support of interactive, distributed and collaborative visualization, computational steering, and concurrent visualization.

Enterprise File Exchange (EFX) slots in where email file attachment limits stop your users from sending those important files to a contact.

In the EFX world, the user visits the EFX site, uploads the file, enters the receivers email address and lets the system notify the receiver that theres a file waiting for them, via a simple email message.

Senders need to sign up, and the EFX system only allows transfers between internal users (those with addresses in an approved list) and external users, never external to external.

It is written in Python, using the Pylons framework.

This project is licensed under the GNU GPL version 3.

Trustix Enterprise Firewall represents a revolution within firewall management software. Trustix Enterprise Firewall is the worlds first WYSIWYG Enterprise Firewall, making it easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy. By utilizing the WYSIWYG GUI, your Enterprise Firewall will be out of the box and implemented in an unbeatable 25 minutes- and without the need for a dedicated systems administrator!
A fully-featured packet-filtering router, Trustix Enterprise Firewall has advanced capabilities including an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for visualizing and editing firewall policy.
This unique GUI enables you to manage traffic for all your zones (up to 24) as well as port forwarding, network address translation (NAT) and virtual private network (VPN) configurations.
Packet-filtering enables Enterprise Firewall to act as a router to accelerate data transmission. Meaning no more bottle necks due to time consuming proxies.
IP-address sharing by masquerading or NAT.
The underlying rules generated by the program are then fully optimized before being deployed- thereby optimizing the security and performance of your firewalls architecture, and avoiding errors and duplications.
Trustix Enterprise Firewall uses the IPsec protocol to encrypt data transmitted over the net- extending the security of your network to all arms of your business. Communications between your office and home users are protected using 168-bit 3DES encryption- triple the encryption, triple the security! Enables remote, secure configuration of multiple firewalls from one Windows or Linux desktop.
Trustix Enterprise Firewall Blockades and repel malicious attacks from hackers, Trojans, worms and infected files.
Main features:
- Visualise DMZs - drag and drop security policy deployment
- Integrate branch offices with 3DES encrypted VPN tunnels
- Accelerate internet access times with proxy caching server
- Authenticate remote workers with PKI X.509 certificates
- Ensure high availability with fault tolerant automatic failover

Blackbird Enterprise Service Bus is the first enterprise service bus (ESB) for PHP developers. The project provides a run-time container that loads, manages, and executes classes, provides connectivity and utility services to access external resources, such as message queues and collects and exposes metrics data to management tools
Main features:
- Use PHP to rapidly develop applications and application integration services
- Easy to learn and use - get coding in minutes
- Written for developers by developers
- Command-line and protocol-driven management and monitoring
- Easy object configuration, deployment, and load/unload tasks
- Less memory usage than a Java ESB
- Metrics collection, making it easy to develop monitoring and management tools
- Extensible protocol handler layer - supports STOMP , SMTP, and Jabber out of the box
What Its Not:
- A full-blown, Java ESB like Apache ServiceMix
- A replacement for other middleware, such as Apache ActiveMQ
- As fast, in theory, as a compiled language (although see below)
- Fully object-oriented (because PHP is not)
- Written by architects for architects
Why Are You Doing This When Already Exists?
ITema provides managed, hosted applications to small businesses, with an emphasis on integration. Part of our vision is to offer our customers choice, so they arent locked into a specific product or vendor. We need very good integration technology or well end up with an unmanageable spider web of integration hooks. An ESB is tailor-made for this type of work. It gives us the loose coupling we need to let applications run independently, and handles grunt-work tasks like communicating via message queues so we can focus on writing the code that does the real work.
The available Java ESB products didnt meet our needs. PHP was a more natural choice, but there was no ESB available for it. We decided it was better for us to write what we needed than to try to shoehorn what we were doing into another product. Our hope is that by releasing Blackbird under the GPL, other developers will get as much out of it as we have.
Blackbird isnt intended to be an isolated project, or a replacement for a Java ESB. In fact, we anticipated that it could be very useful to use both a Java and PHP ESB at the same time, in different layers of an architecture. Blackbirds design makes this straightforward, and it expects to communicate via STOMP with a message queue such as Apache ActiveMQ. It can even use the same ActiveMQ instance that supports a ServiceMix environment, so writing a Blackbird component to communicate with a ServiceMix component is easy!

Lineox Enterprise Linux distribution is based on source RPM packages from which Red Hat Enterprise Linux is compiled. Lineox Enterprise Linux contains all programs included in various Red Hat Enterprise Linux variations (Advanced Server (AS), Entry/Mid Server (ES), and Workstation (WS)).
It also contains programs included in separately sold Red Hat Cluster Suite and Red Hat Developer Suite. Lineox has removed and replaced all files of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which have restrictive copyright by Red Hat, Inc. Lineox has also tried to remove all user-visible references to Red Hat in Lineox Enterprise Linux.
The most notable difference between Lineox Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the support options provided by Red Hat, Inc. Lineox, Inc. does not provide any support for Lineox Enterprise Linux with the base product.
Lineox, Inc. however plans to provide binary package updates for Lineox Enterprise Linux as long as Red Hat, Inc. provides updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux in source package format.
Lineox has an automated system running on a cluster which builds new binary rpm packages as soon as new source code is available. New rpm packages are usually available in less than 12 hours after source code release.
After that Lineox builds Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux disks automatically, but because of the time it takes to transfer the disk images to our web server, they are available from 2 to 12 hours after we release new packages.
Isnt Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux untested or unreliable if it is released so often? Not really. We dont rebuild the installation environment, we just replace the installable packages with new ones.
You can even use same boot floppies or other boot media created for Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 to boot Always Current series Lineox Enterprise Linux. So Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux is as tested and reliable as a system installed from "base release" and updated later. The only difference really is the work and time saved and the higher security right from the start.
Enhancements:
- Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.096 with Update 4 available. In the version 4.096 the installation environment is rebuilt, so it offers better hardware support during the installation. See the release notes for full information. The x86_64 release requires either AMD Opteron or Athlon64 CPU based computer. Some new Intel Xeon and Pentium IV processors with EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology) will also be able to run this version.
