OpenVNet is a multi-vendor, open-source, Linux distribution that extends the capabilities of their physical network environment by adding a Network Virtualization layer on top of the existing physical network and enables data center network administrators to tremendously improve the performance of their data centers. It uses an architecture that is similar to OpenStack. It allows you to carve out virtual networks within your physical datacenter so you can effectively manage traffic for containers and other modern architectures and also provides many features, such as load balancing for VMs, auto-scaling groups, networking policy management across multiple organizations or devices, and DHCP support in addition to traditional bridging.
The project is headed by the OPNFV group, and it offers a public cloud-like environment for networking and network function virtualization testing without requiring users to invest in physical hardware. OpenVNet also simplifies the deployment of NFV and the Internet of things by providing a containerized and automated service that can be deployed on any bare-metal or virtual machine. The project features an integrated command-line interface, REST API, and graphical user interface to help administrators easily manage services for physical network resources such as interface bonding.
Ulteo is an open-source Application Delivery and Virtual Desktop infrastructure project that could deliver applications or a desktop hosted on a Linux or Windows server to end-users.

QVD Virtual Desktop is a unique platform that provides an alternative to desktop and applications virtualization under a Linux environment; VDI is secure, flexible, and affordable. For many organizations, the demand for mobility creates major challenges in terms of user access to applications and data, device compatibility, or remote access. It comes with a complete set of applications and a secure sandbox environment for mail, messaging, and browser sessions on the client-side.
Additionally, two virtual desktops can be created per client. These virtual desktops can then be moved from one PC to another as needed. Each client has its own unique QVD session ID that remains constant throughout the life of the client license. This session ID can be used to track sessions. The QVD virtual desktop has multi-level security that ensures that sensitive data is always protected, even inside the physical environment or within the network itself. It can work on top of existing virtualization technologies, including VMware, VirtualBox, and KVM.
Userful Multiplatform is a multiseat desktop virtualization product that works with Oracle VirtualBox. It is designed to support any number of simultaneous users on Windows-based PCs and laptops”. It lets managers share one computer between all of their employees, or even configure the system so that different departments can work simultaneously in “desktops” within the same physical machine. This is especially useful for businesses who want to give their employees access to their networked systems while keeping sensitive information safe from prying eyes.
Enterprise-level security includes password protection, encryption, and token-based authentication combined with Secure Sockets Layer in both directions for secure remote connections over public networks. The combination provides a single user interface and seamless interaction between multiple computers and virtual machines in a single machine. It offers organizations unprecedented levels of control, scalability, and flexibility with an integrated, unified user experience across any productivity-enhancing device.
Oracle VDI is a software that provides desktop virtualization to replace personal computers with virtual machines on a server. It was developed by the Oracle Corporation and replaced by Oracle VM VirtualBox. It can be used to save management costs for organizations shifting their business models from one based on customer-supplied hardware to one based on owned servers.
The main purpose of this software is to provide users with high-availability desktops. In a two-server setup, three-server setup, four-server setup, when one of the servers is down, the users can still access their desktops, then all of them will have to be up in order for the users to have access to them. The downtime with a four-server setup is decreased if a fourth server is simply a spare in case others fail. This way, one server can go down, and another server can take over seamlessly without any downtime for the end-user connections.
MSYS2 is an independent rewrite of MSYS that aims to build on the POSIX compatibility layer of Cygwin with Windows-native MinGW-w64, resulting in greater interoperability between Windows software and Unix-type command-line tools, programs, scripts, and shells.
The primary goal of MSYS2 is to eliminate Unix-like command-line shell and program compatibility and to replace it with native Windows interoperability. Along the way, you can eliminate cross-compiling and offer a more streamlined experience for building native Windows programs. It lets all core essentials for building binaries such as bash, GCC compiler, various utilities such as find and send.
