The CloudTier Storage Tiering SDK is a Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) file system filter driver development kit. It implements a data storage strategy that automatically migrates data between high-cost and low-cost storage media, optimizing storage efficiency and reducing both capital and operational expenses. This SDK offers a simple and cost-effective solution to seamlessly integrate your on-premises storage infrastructure with cloud storage. The migration of files to the cloud happens transparently and securely, with no disruption to existing applications or infrastructure. The SDK uses on-premises storage as Tier 0 (hot storage) and cloud storage as Tier 1 (cold storage). Cooler or less frequently accessed data is automatically moved to cloud storage, freeing up local storage capacity. Your applications can continue to access all files as if they reside locally—no changes to your code or workflow are required.

Transparent file encryption performs real-time I/O encryption and decryption of the files in any block data with 16 bytes. The encryption uses a 256 bits symmetric key to encrypt or decrypt the data with AES encryption algorithm. Auto file encryption protects data "at rest", meaning the transparent data and files encryption. It provides the ability to comply with policies which can be applied by users, processes and file type. This allows only authorized users and processes to access the encrypted files, unauthorized users and processes can’t access the encrypted files. The Auto FileCrypt Tool was developed with EaseFilter Encryption Filter Driver(EEFD) SDK, a file level encryption filter driver. Run the auto file encryption service with administrator permission, add the managed folders as encryption folder, when the files were added to the managed folder, the files will be encrypted automatically, when files were read, the data will be decrypted in memory automatically.

EaseFilter DRM Secure File Sharing example was implemented with the Transparent File Encryption and Control Filter Driver SDK. The shared file was encrypted with a unique 256-bits key, store the file access policies in a central server, share the encrypted files with fully control. You can grant, revoke or expire the file access at any time, even after the file has been shared. Digital Rights Management (DRM) enforces how files can be viewed, copied, printed, shared, or modified. Instead of granting blanket access, DRM attaches enforceable usage policies to content. With EaseFilter DRM, you can: Restrict access to authorized users, devices, and applications only. Block forwarding, uploading to unauthorized cloud services, or syncing to personal drives. Apply time-based access (expiration dates) and geo/device restrictions. Maintain tamper-evident audit trails for compliance and forensics.

Administrative WebSphere library. Designed as a foundation library (providing a wsadmin.sh wrapper) following Object Oriented approach for WebSphere administrators who are used to develop Python scripts to do WebSphere adrministrative tasks.

EaseFilter Cloud File System is a Windows virtual file system which was developed with the file system filter driver. The Cloud File System integrates the cloud storage into the on-premise storage, it lets on-premise application access the cloud files transparently, just as they would access on-premise regular files. With the Cloud File SDK, the developers can implement the cloud disaster recovery (Cloud DR) solution, seamlessly integrate your existing applications to the cloud environment without affecting the original data and programs, without any modification of your existing applications. It can help the small to medium size companies to implement the Cloud DR with the lowest cost and minimal disruption to normal operation.

NOTE: This project is marked with 'Status: Abandoned' on SourceForge because not enough time can be dedicated to this project. However it may still get sporadic commits to the repository. eCxx is a library for AVR and NodeMCU tailored for micro LED displays and lighting effects. eCxx is utilizing Makefile build system. Java and Python based applications/tools are also included to ease the development and debugging process using the host PC. On one side, eCxx supports the original megaAVR series (ATmega328P, ATmega1284P, ATmega2560, ATmega32U4, AT90USB1286, etc.) as well as the new megaAVR 0-Series (ATmega4808, ATmega4809, etc.). On the other side, while eCxx is primarily designed to work in NodeMCU, it should also support other ESP-12 based design as well as ESP-01 based design. The Makefile build system and some of the tools would only run on Linux. However, the library source code should be portable enough to be built using other build systems for AVR and NodeMC

FLoM is a free open source distributed lock manager that can be used to synchronize shell commands, scripts and custom developed software. When used in a shell environment, FLoM manages process synchronization in the same way that "nice" manages process prioritization. Shell commands, scripts and custom programs can be synchronized inside a single system or in a network of IP connected systems. FLoM supports different types of abstract resources: simple, numeric, set, hierarchical and transactional sequence. libflom, the library shipped with FLoM, allows you to develop your own application using a simple C, C++, Java, Perl, PHP or Python client API. SSL/TLS security for network communication, X.509 certificates for peer to peer mutual authentication.

LIXA (LIbre XA) is an open source and free Transaction Manager implementing the distributed transaction processing "XA specification" and "TX (transaction demarcation) specification" according to the X/Open CAE Specification. LIXA implements even XTA: XA Transaction API, an innovative API that implements XA transactional context passing among different applications. LIXA is a Transaction Manager but it's not a Transaction Monitor: this is the distinguishing feature of the project. LIXA technology enables every application container, like a web server or a shell, to become a two phase commit application server. The client/server architecture of LIXA allows many application containers to share a single LIXA (state) server: this is ideal when horizontal scalability is a must and many identical application containers must refer to a single transactional environment. LIXA can be used with the C, C++, Java, Python and COBOL programming languages.

EaseFilter File System Filter Driver Framework is a set of file system filter driver software development kit which includes file monitor filter driver, file access control filter driver, transparent file encryption filter driver, process filter driver and registry filter driver. The File Security Solution with the EaseFilter Comprehensive File Security SDK encompasses file security, digital rights management, encryption, file monitoring, file auditing, file tracking, data loss prevention, process monitoring and protection, and system configuration protection. EaseFilter file system filter driver is a kernel-mode component that runs as part of the Windows executive above the file system. The EaseFilter file system filter driver can intercept requests targeted at a file system or another file system filter driver. By intercepting the request before it reaches its intended target, the filter driver can extend or replace functionality provided by the original target of the request.
