Act global locally: Localization VS Globalization



Looking at news like these (India reaps $23.6B in outsourcing revenue) makes me wonder what are we all doing (wrong) all this time?

Questions are (as usual) the triggers that need to be fired
  • So today call centers/back offices, tomorrow the whole operations?
  • How to stop it all?
  • What are we doing wrong all the time?
  • Can we stop it?
  • How will it affect our economy and socio-political status on the global arena?
And lots more (If you aren't asking these questions, you better start asking them like RIGHT NOW!!!

More of this in a few minutes...

OK so time is a bitch and I don't have it ;-). So I went ahead and podcasted about it.

More questions, we know vitualization is going to be the market driver for the year 2006 and beyond and VMware is doing great work at it. How will it help us look more locally than globally.

Ok so listen on...

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...
