VMware better watch the Big Blue's advances, Butler Group report



And that is where a new business model might come in place. India is a different place to be, So is Africa, China,South America, Singapore, Indonesia, list can go on and on.(Having worked in all these continents in the past 16 years, I had a painful yet enrichening experience of learning how to make things work) Things move differently. Things are different! Period!

It is going to take a lot more than just a Pimsleur Approach to maintain a steady market capitalization in these continents.

Anyways this Butler Group report says that the z9's are going full ahead in these areas. And what Virtualization solution are they going to use there? Our Avastu man from India did report of the P Series being talk-of-the-town.

PS: I am wondering what our Avastu guy in Argentina has to say on the movements there? China report will come soon. ;-)

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.

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...
