Jopr is an enterprise management solution for JBoss middleware projects and other application technologies. This pluggable project provides administration, monitoring, alerting, operational control and configuration in an enterprise setting with fine-grained security and an advanced extension model. This system is based on and plugin-compatible with the multi-vendor RHQ management project. It provides support for monitoring base operating system information on six operating systems as well as mangement of Apache, JBoss Application Server and other related projects.
JBoss old timer, Red Hatter, and successful open source entrepreneur. Co-wrote two books as well as a few other in print and online publications. Husband, father of two, and New England Patriots season ticket holder since 1993.
Fura is a self-contained grid middleware that allows the grid enablement and distribution of applications on heterogeneous computational resources. Fura features a web-based GUI, wizard-guided installation and configuration, and Web Services compliance. Fura's component based plug-in architecture allows grid services to be extended or replaced, and new services can be developed reusing existing components.
Fura is for developers or highly technical enthusiasts who want the open and latest grid technology early and often to use it in non-critical computing environments. It is not recommended to use Fura where support options, maintenance, and software/hardware certifications are valued. For such environments, you must use either Fura Open Enterprise Edition (GPL Licensed) or Fura Commercial Enterprise Edition (Commercial EULA).

EAI - The Broader Perspective
No one should have (or will) ever dared to build a 'Single System' which will take care of the entire business requirements of an enterprise. Instead, we build few (or many) systems,and each of them takes care of a set of functionalities in a single Line of Business (LOB). There is absolutely nothing wrong here, but the need of the hour is that these systems have to exchange information and interoperate in many new ways which have not been foreseen earlier. Business grows, enterprise boundaries expands and mergers and acquisition are all norms of the day. If IT cannot scale up with these volatile environments, the failure is not far.
OW2 is a global open-source software community which goal is the development of open-source distributed middleware, in the form of flexible and adaptable components. These components range from specific software frameworks and protocols to integrated platforms. OW2 developments follow a component-based approach.
The consortium is an independent non-profit organization open to companies, institutions and individuals.
OW2 mission is to develop open source code middleware and to foster a vibrant community and business ecosystem.
OW2 is committed to growing a community of open source code developers. The organization is dedicated to the creation of new technology: original code development is one of its fundamental characteristics. As the organization becomes part of the open source marketplace, it also stresses the quality and market usability of its software. It fosters a common technical architecture to be shared by its members and to facilitate the implementation of its technology by systems integrators and end-users.
The OW2 projects aim at facilitating the development, deployment and management of distributed applications with a focus on open source middleware and related development and management tools. In the open source software value chain, OW2 is positioned as an industry platform facilitating interaction between open source code Producers and open source code Consumers.
