UnifiedSessionsManager Versions-1.x - first released 2008
The first Multivendor Infrastructure Management for the construction of heterogeneous clouds. Designed and developed exclusively by Ingenieurbuero Arno-Can Uestuensoez.
Abstract
The project UnifiedSessionsManager provides a seamless interface for the management of heterogeneous ICT landscapes as private clouds. Therefore an abstraction of virtual and physical machines is introduced which models all elements as virtual components and virtual applications. The USM project is online since 02/2008 @ Sourceforge.net

The USM contains a complete set of VM management tools, including switching and VLAN based SDN management. This also comprises a common network addressing schema for the management of mixed hypervisors.
The supported Hypervisors are KVM, QEMU, VMware, VirtualBox, and Xen. The OS support comprises Linux(RHEL/CentOS/Fedora/OpenSUSE/Debian/Ubuntu), BSD, and Solaris, also Windows by Cygwin.
Remark: The version-1.x is going to be replaced by the version ctys-2.x.

UnifiedSessionsManager Versions-2.x
Multivendor Service Management - a view from top of clouds.
Abstract
The nex version reflects the Service-Management perspective seen from 2010
The versions 02.x are implemented with Python as main programming language. The design is based on a seamless overall object design.
The new editions...- ...include a graphical user interface.
- ...include a full scale automation API.
- ...include optional backend server infrastructure.
- ...interfaces to various Cloud Management Systems.
UnifiedSessionsManager - Spin-Offs
Spin-off components are in process to be extracted as autonomous projects.
- Test and Document Automation (show/hide)
- UnifiedTraceAndLogManager
The project UnifiedTraceAndLogManager provides a framework and build environment for integrated Test Automation, Logging, and Document Automation.
The project includes a trace and logging library for each provided, programming and scripting language, which is also the base for test automation by unit tests. The supported languages are awk, bash, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, Ruby, SQL/MySQL, SQLite, ...
The build and document generation framework is based on Makefiles and contains rules for various tools like doxygen, sphinx, epydoc, and LaTex.

- ctys-utilities - bash
This project comprises several minor tools, which represent a canonical call interface wit a unified representation. E.g. the Linux distribuition is represented in normalized format for further script processing. The tools also include hardware analysis, Detection of running in a VM or PM, CPU type, memory amount, harddisk space, lm_sensors output, hddtemp, etc.
man-page(1): ctys-utils - ctys-beamer - bash
This tools provides the interconnection by SSH with an arbitrary number of intermediate hops/hosts. Thus no configuration is required, onyl access permission by an account is pre-required, with any type of SSH provided authentication. This also supports Kerberos, SSH-keys", "-A" and "-X" options.
The session could be used either for console access, or for parallel remode execution, where intermediate nodes of the hop-chain could be involved too.
