Virtualization and Grid : New today, inseperable tomorrow



I have tried to picturize several scenarios of the grid. One strategy article we talked about the Virtual GDM (Global delivery Model) and on many other occasions we have explored how the commoditization of Virtualization technologies will only be possible with a solid grid framework. Do you want to know more , how about attending a conference about it.

Virtualization. Virtual machines. Virtualized applications. The past 12 months have seen an unprecedented rise in discussion and action around the concept of virtualization from HPC to the data center – and although most grid vendors have for years described their approach as "creating virtual infrastructures," today the term carries more meaning (and requires more clarification) than ever before.

So what are the technologies required to drive value from virtualization, automation, and consolidation efforts? What are the lessons learned from professionals who have already adopted these technologies? And how can grid be leveraged – as an evolution of existing HPC implementations, or as a new initiative driven by data center challenges?

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!
