Trying out Pando with 110mb email attachment!



Well after applying to the beta and telling all of you to check it out. I was replying to someone (Well the guy is an accomplished Oracle Professional who does a lot of presentations, writes articles and has over 10 years of experience, I just didn't name him as I don't/didn't have his permission) who had trouble with the cluvfy.sh in the "Oracle RAC on VMware" series with the Oracle 10g Release2. He did have a 110mb word doc (I think he saved everything on *.bmps).

I suggested him to use Pando and transfer it to me. Easy stuff. And the rate is not that bad either. I got something like 150KB/s with my regular download limit with 550KB/s. (Ignore the 30KB/s on the pic as I'm downloading someother stuff AND working on a remote computer with VMware AND..ahem...OK I know you don't care)



So keep Pando'ing fellas! And don't forget you can go upto 1Gb in the beta trial.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
