Free enterprise architecture plan software for linux

Open Computer Forensics Architecture (OCFA) is a modular computer forensics framework built by the Dutch National Police Agency. The main goal is to automate the digital forensic process to speed up the investigation and give tactical investigators direct access to the seized data through an easy to use search and browse interface.
The architecture forms an environment where existing forensic tools and libraries can be easily plugged into the architecture and can thus be made part of the recursive extraction of data and metadata from digital evidence.
The Open Computer Forensics Architecture aims to be highly modular, robust, fault tolerant, recursive and scalable in order to be usable in large investigations that spawn numerous terabytes of evidence data and covers hundreds of evidence items.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a memory leak in the evidence library and adds a workaround to limit the impact of a memory-hungry indexer module.

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.

Af-Arch is being developed to give GNU/Linux a new middle-ware for building enterprise managing applications, typically database oriented.
Af-Arch is a complete set of libraries and tools which allows to develop distribuited system especially designed to face problems about bussiness applications.
Actually, Af-Arch is really robust and stable, having systems installed on many environments. Af-Arch, at this moment, runs on GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows.
AF Architectures license schema is based on GPL and LGPL, allowing you to develop not only open source applications but also comercial applications without any royalty or fee.
Af-Arch is a strongly documented project, which is proved to work. Af-Arch keeps on evolving and growing its feature list allways keeping in mind productivity.
Enhancements:
- A new major stable release have come with many interesting features, library dependencies news, new API to make life easy and a bunch of work to make the library to be memory efficient.
- Af-Arch no longer depends on GDA library (http://www.gnome-db.org). Now AfGs, server side support for Af-Arch, includes built-in database abstraction support, implemented to fit better with the Af-Arch framework. For more details check the "libafgs" log below.
- Af-Arch platform now support three new return types: AfDalNodeData, AfDalStringData and AfDalDecimalData, which allows services to return a module node, a plain string and a decimal value as a result for the invocation.
- Af-Arch now support a new formal parameter service AfDalSetOf which implements set of items to be sent while the service is invoked.
- af-gen tool now support defining string literals that are separated by "+" sign, making it easy to write long SQL sentences.
- af-gen tool now allow to generate type definitions that could extend, making it possible to create a class hierarchy for types to be returned by services.
- libafdal core library now implements a better error reporting mechanism which allows to receive all errors generated while performing invocation at the reply process code.
- New reserved services have been added: element_peek_reference which allows to get the node associated to a module which is relationed through the 0..1 link.

Specifically, this product is forked from the source code for Red Hats _Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3_ product under the terms and conditions of its EULA.

There may be remaining packaging problems and other odd bugs. These are solely the responsibility of the White Box Linux effort and should not in any shape, manner or form reflect on the quality of Red Hats commercial product. In fact, if you need a fully tested and supported OS you probably should go buy their box set.

A fair amount of effort has gone into removing Red Hats trademarks and logos. Should you find one remaining, please report it so that it can be removed.

The goal of this project is to provide an unencumbered RPM based Linux distribution that retains enough compatibility with Red Hat Linux to allow easy upgrades and to retain compatibility with their Errata srpms.

Being based off of RHEL3 means that a machine should be able to avoid the upgrade treadmill until Oct 2008 since RHEL promises Errata availability for five years from date of initial release and RHEL3 shipped in Oct 2003.

Or more briefly, to fill the gap between Fedora and RHEL.

Adaptive Quality of Service Architecture (AQuoSA) is an open architecture for the provisioning of adaptive Quality of Service functionality into the Linux kernel. The project features a flexible, portable, lightweight and open architecture for supporting soft real-time applications with facilities related to timing guarantees and QoS, on the top of a general-purpose operating system as Linux.
At the core of the architecture there is an adaptive resource reservation layer that is capable of dynamically adapting the CPU allocation for QoS aware applications based on their run-time requirements.
Timing guarantees are provided through an in-kernel reservation based process scheduler, whose services are exposed to applications through a well-designed API.
A supervisor performs admission control, so that admitting into the system new applications with timing guarantees does not affect the timing guarantees of already admitted applications. Also, it takes care of guaranteeing appropriate security policies in the assignment of timing guarantees to users and user groups, as configured by the system administrator.
A feedback-based QoS control layer may be optionally used by applications who want to keep their timing guarantees by using a CPU allocation that is continuously adapted according to their actual needs. This leaverages the programmer, within certain limits, to hard-code any particular reservation amount within the application, because the best allocation is found out automatically at run-time. Also, this enhances the possibilities for the system to host additional QoS controlled applications. The available control algorithms are well founded on formal scheduling models and control theoretical results.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces a couple of flags useful when creating servers. If QOS_F_PERSISTENT is enabled, a server is allowed to exist beyond detach of the last task. If QOS_F_SOFT is enabled, a server tasks are scheduled by the Linux default scheduler/policy, when outside of the server reservation.
- Also, various stability issues in destroying servers have been fixed, also thanks to a new release of the generic scheduler patch for the Linux kernel (gs-2.2).

DSSH was written as a direct replacement for OpenSSH client for our use. The project adds SSH over SSH tuneling capabilities (for example to log in to network which is hidden by firewall), scripting support (using Groovy), advanced agent (which allows storing of passwords) and "su -" interactive logging for machines, which have disabled direct root login.

All of this was done to enable automated scripting and logging to lots of machines based on few simple rules.

It uses Ganymed SSH library (slightly patched). I tried to contribute my changes back to Ganymed-SSH authors and if I succeed, I will probably try to stick with official Ganymed-SSH distribution.

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!

OpenPKG is a flexible and powerful software packaging facility, OpenPKG eases installation and administration of Unix software across several platforms. It primarily targets the Unix platforms FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris, but is portable across mostly all modern Unix flavors.
Consolidating different vendor approaches into a unified architecture, it assists in administration of large networks previously complicated by nonconformant systems. OpenPKG leverages proven technologies like Red Hat Package Manager (RPM)and neatly provides an additional system layer on top of the operating system.
It is a fully self-contained with minimal external dependencies(no RPM pre-installation required), and installs itself by means of a tricky bootstrapping procedure with minimal operating system intrusion. OpenPKG especially supports multiple installation instances on the same system.
