Yes.

You really need to actually describe the problem; ruby does
not have a suite (that I know of) that provides all of this
functionality but many subcomponents are certainly present.

Try this: http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RealWorldRuby

This took about three minutes of Googling:

LDAP:    http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-ldap/
SNMP:    http://snmplib.rubyforge.org/
Distrib: http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/
Cluster: http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rq/
Balance:
