Magazine compares ESX vs Virtual Server vs Virtuozzo





Wow. Both get a 8.2 score. Also I seriously doubt if he really did this, meaning really tested it. If yes, then I want some screenshots and a video on it!

Getting back to Virtual Server 2005, one of the biggest changes to R2 is x64 host support. This lets it run a crazy amount of virtual machines. With a four-way, dual-core x64 box holding an incredible 128GB of memory, I was able to easily run a dozen virtual machines with almost no disk activity.


and please also tell what you did on it. run a "notepad cluster"? Pretty shady this verdict.

Ah wait, I get it. "Its the Redmondmag, stupid"

And in another news Zonk (Is he the same Zonk from Slashdot?) writes up something at NewsForge for VMware server. Besides a couple of typos (VMWware et al), I am impressed that he did do some stress test. Read more here.

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

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

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!
