Free twisted storage software for linux

FreeNAS is a free implementation of a minimal FreeBSD distribution(for run it on a Compact Flash, CD-ROM or USB key) that provide NAS (Network-Attached Storage) services, supporting: CIFS, FTP, NFS protocols, with a Full WEB configuration interface.

The minimal FreeBSD distribution, Web interface,PHP scripts and documentations are based on M0n0wall.

Python CD is a bootable CD based on Debian GNU/Linux and KNOPPIX.
The special thing about it is that it has lots of Python stuff!
Installable Python packages
In the top level directory of the CD is a directory python/, containing several packages of Python:
- Python for Linux - most Linux distributions include Python, so we dont provide it for them
- Python for Mac OS X
- Python for Windows, win32all extension
- Python for DOS - no maintainer yet, so we only provide an URL
- Python source code, if you want to compile it yourself
Ready-to-Use Python
On the bootable Linux system, Python is already installed and ready to run:
- Python 2.3.4 (latest and greatest, use this!)
- Python 2.2.3
- Python 2.1.3
Python CD Packages
Here is an overview of popular packages installed on the PythonCd.

GlusterFS package contains clustered file storage that can scale to peta bytes. GlusterFS is a programmable system. With little thinking, you can even redesign the GlusterFS file system by re-arranging the GlusterFS components using translator interface. It is all achieved through volume specification file. This allows GlusterFS to be flexible for all kinds of storage needs. Even with all these advanced features, GlusterFS is very easy to setup and manage.

Gluster is a GNU cluster distribution aimed at commoditizing Supercomputing and Superstorage. Core of the Gluster provides a platform for developing clustering applications tailored for a specific tasks such as HPC Clustering, Storage Clustering, Enterprise Provisioning, Database Clustering etc.

sc101-nbd allows Linux to access a Netgear SC101 storage device as a block device, without requiring a new kernel module.
Netgear Storage Central 101 (sc101) is an IP based block storage device.
Netgear ships a clustered filesystem with the product (perhaps based on DataPlow SFS) which allows multiple Windows client machines to concurrently mount and read/write directly to the device; it is a SAN rather than a NAS device.
There is no protocol documentation provided, nor any driver support for operating systems other than Windows.
This software allows Linux to access the the sc101 as a block device, without requiring a new kernel module.
It achieves this by translating between the kernels existing NBD protocol and the reverse engineered protocol used by the sc101 (I call it PSAN, perhaps incorrectly).
On top of the NBD devices you can run RAID, LVM, and any existing filesystems (ext2/3, ocfs2, etc).
The resulting storage area is not interoperable with existing Windows clients.
It is unknown whether this software is compatible with the (unreleased) sc101t or other Zetera partnered devices.
Enhancements:
- This has been tested on RHEL/CentOS 4.x and Ubuntu 7.04.

Secure Storage service for the gLite middleware project provides users with a set of tools to store in a secure way and in an encrypted format confidential data (e.g. medical or financial data) on the grid storage elements.
The data stored using the tools provided will be accessible and readable only by authorized users. Moreover, it solves the insider abuse problem preventing also the administrators of the storage elements to access the confidential data in a clear format.
The service has been designed and developed for the grid Middleware of the EGEE infrastructure, gLite, in the context of the TriGrid VL Project.
Secure Storage documentation generated with Doxygen are available.
Enhancements:
- A minor bug was fixed.

Itaka is an on-demand screen capture server.
Itaka is an on-demand screen capture server for Windows, Mac Os X and Linux. It is developed in Python, PyGTK and the Twisted Framework. It prominently features a polished easy to use interface, with a robust backend server.
Main features:
- Acts as an on-demand server (requests to your computer by a users web browser display an image of your screen to the user)
- Notification for the client, on the desktop and with style using Libnotify.
- Very polished GUI drawing elements from Mac OS X. Sample
- Multiple platform support (currently Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and any other plattform with Python/Twisted/GTK support)

boto project is an integrated interface to current and future infrastructural services offered by Amazon Web Services.
Main features:
- Simple Storage Service (S3)
- Simple Queue Service (SQS)
- Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
- Mechanical Turk
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for Paid AMIs in EC2.
