Enterprise Edition Load Balancer is available with extra features such as global service load balancing (gslb), application security including web application firewall (WAF), blacklists, Realtime Blackhole Lists (DNSBL), DDoS protection, stateful clustering, SNMP monitoring, email and SNMP notifications, RBAC, VPN support, and the best Support directly from an expert Team.

ClusterSSH controls a number of xterm windows via a single graphical console window to allow commands to be interactively run on multiple servers over an ssh connection.

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.

EPSILON is a powerful Open Source wavelet image compressor. The project is aimed on parallel and robust image processing.

ClusterSSH is a tool to manage simultaneous interactive sessions across multiple SSH-accessible hosts. It opens one master terminal and many child terminal windows (or tabs), sending the same keystrokes to all clients while allowing isolated input per host. This is useful when orchestrating repetitive tasks—such as rolling updates or diagnosing distributed systems—without copying and pasting into each window. The interface supports splitting windows, delayed input modes, and host groupings to make clusters more manageable. It also includes features like per-host prompt prefixing or context awareness to avoid confusion in mixed environments. Because the architecture is simple and terminal-based, it works across diverse systems with minimal dependencies and remains popular among sysadmins wanting bulk control with tactile feedback.

Generic SCSI target subsystem for Linux SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices. It includes generic SCSI target core with SCSI target drivers and backend handlers. There are target drivers for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SRP, SAS, FCoE, etc.

The VSC is a PHP/MySQL/Apache Interface for Nessus 2.x. It allows users to hierarchically manage hosts, scanning policies, and request automated immediate, future/reccuring scans of a host or group of hosts, view scan reports and generate metrics.

coNCePTuaL is a toolset for rapidly generating portable, readable, and reproducible network-performance tests. coNCePTuaL can perform the equivalent of many pages of C code with just a few mouse clicks or lines of code in a domain-specific language.

SystemImager is software that makes the installation of Linux to masses of similar machines relatively easy. It makes software distribution, configuration, and operating system updates easy, and can also be used for content distribution.

dsh is a program which runs a single command on multiple computers at the same time. It was designed as a cluster tool for beowulf-style supercomputers.

GGI stands for "General Graphics Interface", and it is a project that aims to develop a reliable, stable and fast graphics system that works everywhere. We want to allow any program using GGI to run on any platform requiring at most a recompile.

The OpenSSI project is a comprehensive clustering solution offering a full, highly available SSI environment for Linux. Goals for OpenSSI Clusters include availability, scalability and manageability, built from standard servers.

The Herdtools are a set of user-level cluster management and control utilities with a consistent command line interface. These include things like parallel file copy, remote execution, sudo execution, job kill, etc. We utilize Rob Brown's "procstatd" d

Cbench is intended as a relatively straightforward toolbox of tests, benchmarks, applications, utilities, and framework to hold them together with the goal to facilitate scalable testing, benchmarking, and analysis of a Linux parallel compute cluster.

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

The goal of this project is to provide plugins ("agents") for the Veritas Cluster Server on an Open Source basis.

Rackview is a Perl module that assists in visualizing a Data Center\'s computer rack layouts by creating a web page with HTML tables to show a frontview of the racks. Included are brief commandline and CGI scripts to demonstrate its implementation.

Job Accounting and User and Project managment for Clustered Computing using Perl, Apache, and MySQL. Designed to be extensible, it processes logs from currently PBS, OpenPBS and Maui2. It also contains a web frontend for User and Project Managment

ArielCLUSTER is a very tiny implementation of PVM architecture, written in perl.

Ballast is a tool for balancing user load across SSH servers that supports user-specific policies as well as traditional policies based on metrics such as CPU load. It includes a simple client, a lightweight data server, and a data collection agent.

General purpose, cross-platform, high-latency, high availability (HA) daemon. HA is achieved by IP-takeover of the virtual/HA server(s) by one or more real/redundant servers. Requires Perl 5. Designed for ease of deployment (for a HA system :-).

Cbench is intended to be a relatively straightforward collection of tests, benchmarks, applications, utilities, and framework to hold them together with the goal to facilitate scalable testing and benchmarking of a Linux parallel compute cluster.

Cleo is written on perl5 and works on Linux and hopely on most UNIXes. This is the batch system for computational clusters, which supports possibly most parallel envinronments.
