Synergy

Synergy lets you easily share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers on your desk, and it's Free and Open Source. Just move your mouse off the edge of one computer's screen on to another. You can even share all of your clipboards. All you need is a network connection. Synergy is ... [More] cross-platform (works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux). [Less]

KVM

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module ... [More] , kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream. [Less]

Apache CloudStack

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

Apache CloudStack (Incubating) is an open source Cloud Computing platform used to deliver Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). CloudStack enables users to build, manage and deploy compute cloud environments. CloudStack forms the foundation for infrastructure clouds, data center operators can ... [More] quickly and easily build cloud services within their existing infrastructure to offer on-demand, elastic cloud services. CloudStack users can take full advantage of cloud computing to deliver higher efficiency, limitless scale and faster deployment of new services and systems to the end-user. CloudStack will allow user to coordinate virtualized servers, networking and network storage to provide infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) just like hosting providers but on their own hardware.

libvirt

Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The library aims at providing a long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but since ported to other virtualization technologies, QEmu and KVM.

cobbler

Cobbler is a Linux installation server that allows for rapid setup of network installation environments. With a simple series of commands, network installs can be configured for PXE, reinstallations, media-based net-installs, and virtualized installs (supporting Xen, qemu, KVM, and VMware ... [More] Server). Cobbler uses a helper program called 'koan' (which interacts with Cobbler) for reinstallation and virtualization support. Cobbler can also optionally help with managing DHCP, DNS, power, config management, and yum package mirroring infrastructure -- in this regard, it is a more generalized "batteries included" deployment server, rather than just dealing specifically with installations. It has a command line interface, a web interface, and also several API access options. [Less]

OpenNebula

OpenNebula is an open source virtual infrastructure engine that enables the dynamic deployment and re-allocation of virtual machines on a pool of physical resources.

Virtual Machine Manager

The "Virtual Machine Manager" application (virt-manager for short package name) is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines. It presents a summary view of running domains and their live performance & resource utilization statistics. A detailed view presents graphs showing ... [More] performance & utilization over time. Ultimately it will allow creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain's resource allocation & virtual hardware. Finally an embedded VNC client viewer presents a full graphical console to the guest domain. [Less]

oVirt

claimed by oVirt

oVirt is a web based virtual machine management application. It builds on libvirt, Ruby, Rails, and collectd to provide a VM management application able to scale from a handful of machines to an entire data center. It integrates with FreeIPA to provide Kerberos single signon, and uses ISCSI for VM storage.

Archipel

Archipel is an Open Source project that aims to bring push notifications to virtualization orchestration using XMPP. Archipel relies on open source technologies like python, ejabberd, cappuccino, strophe, nginx, libvirt, KVM and even more. All of these technologies are mixed together to create a ... [More] real time orchestration solution for virtualization. Thanks to Archipel you will be able to : Visualize in real time the states of virtual machines and hypervisors ; Send real time commands to them ; Communicate inside the orchestrator with other human users ; Organize virtual machines and hypervisors into groups and send commands to them ; Connect distant datacenters in a secure way using XMPP S2S communication ; Even use Archipel with XMPP client like GMail in order to receive your VMs notific [Less]

abiCloud

abiCloud is an open source cloud computing platform manager. It allows to quickly create a private cloud inside an organization's firewall, and manage it with a rich user interface. Next version will allow to also deploy images in external clouds, creating an hybrid environment.
