Future of Virtualization: Letter from Diane Greene



A personal letter from Diane Greene! :-).



Diane is my hero for a lot of reasons (The fact that I talk about her vision on the company and the core geek group that she leads and how she leads!!! It already says enough of why we tend to talk virtualization and VMware in the same tone).

I had already applied to it but is always pleasing (if not flattering enough) to be asked personally to attend. (I know, I know. It's an automated electronic mail all set to be fired to all known fellas but I'd like to hold on to the idea that it was sent to me. It is that personalized message and word of mouth that has brought VMware to where it is today).

And where it is set to go is something most competitors can not possibly imagine. And talking about the future of virtualization (I've spoken about it at several occasions both on my podcasts here, here and here and on my blog on several occasions like this one

But like I said we aren't all mouth but all ears as well...

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.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
