Forrester Webcast with XenSource, Intel and IBM

Got an invite from XenSource on this Forrester Webcast. It is scheduled for March 20th 2007.

Advances in hardware and software virtualization, as well as integrated technology solution bundles such as the IBM System x server with XenEnterprise, remove common barriers to server consolidation such as cost and complexity.

View our webcast and hear an analyst's perspective on why now is the time to leverage virtualization for server consolidation. Then attend a seminar in a city near you, and get more details about how this next generation virtualization supporting both Window and Linux with blazing fast performance can dramatically reduce your IT costs while increasing business agility and IT responsiveness.




Frank Gillett of Forrester will try to explain the "hype" on Virtualization. I thought we left the hype long long ago. I think what most vendors and analyst firms should do is to help the indecisive and very nervous CIOs come up to relax and open up their minds to adopt this technology.

Anyways do join the webcast if you are interested in the XenSource Virtualization solution.

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...
