Anubis Gate

Anubis Gate is a Content Distribution and Management tool designed for secure and fault-tolerant enterprise server-farm deployments, with multiple test stages. It is engineered to be content agnostic, meaning it distributes and manages any static content type. It is not an integrated content management tool limited to a single content type, such as web content. Specifically used and developed for a farm of servers driving large websites, it has been in use since 2000 in the corporate sector.

Features:

Central Repository of content.
Multi-Site functionality.
Multi-User functionality.
Content change logging/tracking.
Multiple Stage functionality (variable, such as Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
Simple and Secure content distribution through a poll mechanism (designed for fault tolerance and security).

4.2 Snapshots

Home Page: This page is from a server that manages three different sites (net, com, download), each has a DEV and LIVE site, and two of which also have a QA site. Instructions on how it is used are also displayed on the Home Page.
Create Download: This shows the create download interface, where files can be selected for download (and presumably editing/reference) from any of the stages, for any site. The Download interface creates a zip file composing all selected files. Note: the upload interface takes a zip file in the same format, via ftp (this can be easily scripted).
Push Files: Similar to the Create Download interface, this is used to push files from one stage to the other. Of important to note is the Files uploaded link. When files are uploaded Anubis will remember the list, so you can quickly select the entire set.
Stage Review Files: After selecting a file set, or a list of files, the entire group is listed for final review.
Push Files: Anubis makes the files as being ready for the specified stage. Each server in the farm polls anubis on regular interfals (user defined, as frequently as every minute to as infrequently as desired). When the server see's a new file, it will download all the files, then make them live.
