sshx

sshx is a secure, web-based collaborative terminal platform that lets you share your command-line session with others by sending a unique browser link, enabling multiple participants to interact in real time with remote cursors and chat on an infinite canvas. It is fast, end-to-end encrypted, and lightweight, with a server written in Rust and support across macOS, Linux, and Windows, so users can install a single binary or use it directly in a browser for collaborative sessions. The interface supports arranging and resizing multiple terminals freely, live presence awareness, and ultra-fast mesh networking to connect from anywhere. sshx is ideal for remote pair programming, teaching, debugging, live demonstrations, and collaborative troubleshooting, providing secure access without requiring complex setups or traditional SSH clients, and it can be integrated into workflows, including CI/CD environments for remote debugging and shared terminal access.

Open iT ComputeAnalyzer™

Open iT, Inc.

Open iT ComputeAnalyzer™ provides a centralized view of system and HPC resource usage to improve performance and capacity planning. It meters CPU, memory, and I/O usage across distributed GRID computing environments, supporting major job schedulers including IBM Spectrum LSF, PBS Professional, OpenPBS, Oracle Grid Engine, and Torque. ComputeAnalyzer tracks queue performance, job activity, wait times per user, and the root causes of failed or pending jobs, giving IT and engineering teams the visibility they need to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize cluster efficiency. It also enables accurate IT chargeback by breaking down resource consumption by user, project, department, or business unit. Usage data can be exported to preferred BI tools for further analysis, and the solution integrates natively with LicenseAnalyzer and StorageAnalyzer for a complete picture of software, storage, and compute asset utilization.

Open iT StorageAnalyzer™

Open iT, Inc.

Open iT StorageAnalyzer™ monitors and analyzes disk, file system, and backup usage to help organizations optimize storage resources and reduce IT costs. It identifies unused, stale, or unnecessary data that can be deleted or moved to lower-cost storage tiers by tracking file age and activity. Detailed reports broken down by user, project, department, business unit, and file type give administrators clear visibility into exactly where storage is being consumed and by whom. StorageAnalyzer™ also supports accurate IT chargeback by attributing storage costs based on actual measured usage rather than flat-rate estimates. By surfacing capacity trends and bottlenecks across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, it enables proactive storage management, prevents unexpected capacity issues, and supports better planning for future storage investments.

CDviz

Alchim312

CDviz is an open-source CI/CD observability platform built on CDEvents, the CD Foundation-backed standard for software delivery. It collects events from GitHub, GitLab, ArgoCD, Kubernetes, and more via webhooks and native integrations, normalizes them to the open CDEvents standard, and stores them in PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB. Any reporting tool, Grafana dashboard, internal developer platform, or AI agent can query the data directly via SQL. Out-of-the-box Grafana dashboards cover DORA metrics, deployment timelines, artifact tracking, pipeline and test execution performance, and incident lifecycle. Unlike polling-based tools, CDviz uses a push event-driven model — enabling both real-time observability and automated workflow triggers from the same event stream. Your data stays on your infrastructure, with no vendor lock-in. Licensed under Apache License v2. Free to self-host. An enterprise plan with professional support is currently free in beta.
