Virtualization on the digital highway...

A quick round up on the news from yesterday and today.

VMware Infrastructure 3 was released and was slashdotted too. Cool! So you know what my idea and vision on the future of Virtualization is and what VMware ought to be thinking (I'm sure the guys are).

  • Make it a utility , so pervasive that you don't have to worry on the sales target anymore.
  • Hook up to all collaborative options.
  • Serve VMware virtualization ready Servers and desktops.
  • Help companies really digg the idea of NOT outsourcing but by virtualizing stuff. After all when the tide is going to shift from globalization to localization, you don't wanna be left high and dry
  • Ride the tide
  • Surf and anti-surf the tide



Sometimes a simple introduction always helps focus on the goals. While VirtualIron goes on to explore the clustering side of it. I always favor ideas of trying for free before buying.



More talk on VMware and MS's chess game. But this game is just like Google vs MS.

Here's the deal:

One leads, other follows
One innovates, other acquires
Me balloon, you gas
I'm on a high, you're dry
Me in Lab, you in bathtub
Me code, you erode



Ya digg?

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.

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
