Zivios [1] aims to be a consolidated management portal for providing core infrastructure services using opensource technologies. The long term goals of Zivios are:

• Identity Management
• Single Sign-on and Certificate authority
• Package and Patch Management
• Service Management
• Network Monitoring
• Backup provisioning
• Core Infrastructure Services (NTP,DNS, etc)

Zivios is an n-tiered PHP-5 application. It uses MySQL and OpenLDAP as it’s datastore, with OpenLdap being the primary backend for identity management and application integration and MySQL being used for panel specific data.

Zend Framework is our framework of choice and Zivios implements its MVC design pattern.
