Mosix: a software package that enhance the Linux kernel with cluster computing capabilities. The enhanced Linux kernel allows any size cluster of X86/Pentium based workstations and servers to work cooperatively as if part of a single system.
TurboLinux’s enFusion: turns your existing computer network into a high-speed, fault-tolerant, highly available supercomputer.
Legion: Worldwide Virtual Computer: Legion is an object-based, meta-systems software project at the University of Virginia.
Alinka Raisin: a management and configuration tool for beowulf-type Linux clusters for parallel computing.
SGI - Software : Advanced Cluster Environment (ACE) for Linux: a fully tested and integrated cluster package for compute-intensive environments.
VA Cluster Management (VACM): a client / server system allowing monitoring and management of a cluster of nodes equipped with Intel’s Intelligent Platform Management Interface.
SCMS - Smile Cluster Management System: SCMS is an extensible management tool for beowulf cluster developed to simplify the management task for large beowulf cluster. SCMS provides a rich set of tools and support system that help system administrator monitor, submit command, query system status, maintain system configuration and more. SCMS GUI tool helps administrator of beowulf cluster to manage the cluster much easier. SCMS is released under Opensource license (BSD based). Available from the SMILE project of the Parallel Research Group of Kasetsart University. They have other related software, including the Diskless Cluster Suite, KCAP cluster management software and others.

The Global File System (GFS) is a shared disk cluster file system for Linux. GFS supports journaling and recovery from client failures. GFS cluster nodes physically share the same storage by means of Fibre Channel or shared SCSI devices. The file system appears to be local on each node and GFS synchronizes file access across the cluster. GFS is fully symmetric, that is, all nodes are equal and there is no server which may be a bottleneck or single point of failure. GFS uses read and write caching while maintaining full UNIX file system semantics.
