MONOCRaT

Developer's DescriptionBy MonocratAdministrate networks of machines around the world.MONOCRaT is a free system management solution targeting tiny (~10), small (~50) and medium (~200) networks of machines. These networks are encountered in thousands around the world: in small companies no matter their business, in computer labs, in hotels, in hospitals, everywhere. MONOCRaT can also scale easily in order to handle the administrator of even larger networks, consisting of thousands of machines that require basic management operations. MONOCRaT philosophy is to be simple and lightweight making the administration of networks of machines a "piece of cake", for everyone. MONOCRaT offers 4 basic functionallities: i) Inventory (asset, software, process), ii) Monitoring (cpu, memory, disk usage), iii) Software Installation / Uninstallation, iv) Remote Command Execution. MONOCRaT consists of three components: the Manager, the Server and the Agent. MONOCRaT Manager provides a graphical user interface for the discovery and management of remote machines, defining and assigning "jobs". MONOCRaT Server is responsible for passing the Manager's commands ("jobs") to the MONOCRaT Agents and for receiving and processing the Agents' responses. MONOCRaT Agents run in the administered machines and execute the "jobs" received by the Server. A MONOCRaT Agent can run as a system service or as an application.
