Virtualization getting everywhere!



Citrix gets Ardence pushing virtualization on application level into the year 2007 even harder than ever. Next 2 years are not only going to bring radical and fundamental changes but many conventional technologies are going to disappear into the oblivion.

What would VMware do to take the chunk of the "application virtualization" market share out of Citrix of Softricity's hands? I'll tell you in one of my weekend strategy sessions on "VMWare's diversification and penetration into the newer (previously considered dark and scary) markets/arenas!". Part of our HyperDisruptive MarketBusting Strategies for 2007/2008 series.

And this I call a "saying yay while my lips say nay"

Cristinziano downplays any idea of Citrix, with a market capitalization of $5 billion, itself becoming an acquisition target as technology titans Microsoft Corp. and IBM Corp. move into virtualization.



And how could we forget Oracle? I'm sure Oracle too would want to go for it or other Virtualization vendors, XenSource maybe?

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!
