Wine is an implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. It does not require Microsoft Windows, but can use native Windows DLLs if they are available. It provides both a development toolkit ... [More] for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes. [Less]

Sun VirtualBox is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. VirtualBox is an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers. Sun ... [More] Microsystems, Inc. recently acquired Innotek and has re-branded the product as Sun(TM) xVM VirtualBox. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and OpenSolaris hosts in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode. It supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Solaris, OpenSolaris, Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), and OpenBSD.

QEMU is processor and system emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation

Server Virtualization with the Xen Hypervisor Enterprises looking to increase server utilization, consolidate server farms, reduce complexity, and decrease total cost of ownership are embracing ... [More] server virtualization. The Xen® hypervisor is the fastest and most secure infrastructure virtualization solution available today, supporting a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows®, Linux®, Solaris®, and various versions of the BSD operating systems.

OpenSolaris is an open source project created by Sun Microsystems to build a developer community around the Solaris Operating System technology.

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 ... [More] , kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream. [Less]

OpenVZ is container-based virtualization for Linux. OpenVZ creates multiple secure, isolated containers (otherwise known as VEs or VPSs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization ... [More] and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each container performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; a container can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.

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 ... [More] paravirtualization but since ported to other virtualization technologies, QEmu and KVM. [Less]

PEtALS is the highly distributed Open Source ESB hosted by OW2. PEtALS delivers OW2 JavaTM Business Integration (JBI) platform. PEtALS provides lightweight and packaged integration solutions, based ... [More] on JSR-208 specifications, with a strong focus on distribution and clustering. PEtALS helps you to integrate your Enterprise Business Units in order to provide a value added global solution. By assembling all your enterprise elements, you can provide new applications by re-using some existing ones. Thus, all your applications expose their logic by exposing services. This concept is know as a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The project also provides a set of JBI components and a component development kit that will help users to develop their own components.

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 ... [More] , reinstallations, media-based net-installs, and virtualized installs (supporting Xen, qemu, KVM, and VMware 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]
