Description

CacheGuard-OS is an open-source Linux-based UTM gateway appliance OS that has been in active development since 2002. It is designed to run on commodity x86 hardware and act as the default route between an internal network and the internet, replacing the ISP-provided router as the traffic checkpoint. The stack integrates: Squid (web cache and proxy), ClamAV (web antivirus), ModSecurity (WAF), StrongSwan (IPsec/IKEv2 VPN), IPRoute2 (QoS and WAN load balancing), NetFilter (stateful firewall), SSL inspection, and URL filtering. All components are configured through a web-based admin interface rather than directly, making the platform accessible to operators without deep Linux expertise while remaining auditable by those who want to inspect the underlying configuration. The OS has been open-source since its first release — source ships on every installed appliance. It was recently published publicly on GitHub to make the codebase easier to browse and audit. Target deployments are small to medium networks — SMBs, schools, and branch offices — where a commercial UTM appliance is overkill on budget but the threat surface is the same. Runs on bare metal or common hypervisors (VMware, VirtualBox, KVM, Hyper-V). No vendor lock-in, no subscription, no licence cost. GitHub: cacheguard/CacheGuard-OS

Description

NVIDIA® Onyx® provides an innovative approach to flexibility and scalability tailored for the next generation of data centers. This platform features seamless turnkey integrations with leading hyperconverged and software-defined storage solutions, enhancing operational efficiency. Equipped with a robust layer-3 protocol stack, integrated monitoring tools, and high-availability features, Onyx serves as an excellent network operating system for both enterprise and cloud environments. Users can effortlessly run their custom containerized applications alongside NVIDIA Onyx, effectively eliminating the reliance on bespoke servers and integrating solutions directly into the networking framework. Its strong compatibility with popular hyper-converged infrastructures and software-defined storage solutions further reinforces its utility. Onyx also retains the essence of a classic network operating system, offering a traditional command-line interface (CLI) for ease of use. A single-line command simplifies the configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of remote direct-memory access over converged Ethernet (RoCE), while comprehensive support for containerized applications allows full access to the software development kit (SDK). This combination of features positions NVIDIA Onyx as a cutting-edge choice for modern data center needs.
