Cloud and Infrastructure Management

• UnifiedSessionsManager Versions-1.x

  Multivendor Infrastructure Management for the construction of clouds.
  
  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 ctys-1.x is going to be replaced by the version cyts-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.
