What about awareness on Virtualization?



Awareness has reached 92%, WHIR blogs found out.

And which virtualization vendors are these companies familiar with? VMWare (53%). I was surprised that only one respondent mentioned Xen, but the upcoming Xen-integrated RHEL5 might change that. 6 mentioned Solaris Containers, which Joyent offers. SWSoft's Virtuozzo was notably absent from the list; I think its focus on web hosting providers as a distribution channel might be at least partially to blame.


I'm pretty sure VMware will be more that content to get 50-60% of the market , if they continue to maintain the lead. so by 2010 they might be a $10 to $12 Billion company. Not bad! But if I were at VMware I'd go for full blast and a 100% run! (I'm sure that's what they're gonna go for!)

OK but be well aware of the dangers and Check out the WHIR.

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.

This is a shocking day, we thought someone would have pulled Lehman, Merrill Lynch like Bear Stearns, Freddie, Fannie. But it is shaking time! We have some tough challenges here. Get ready to stand up on your own! Expect real harsh conditions in 2009! A stunning makeover of the Wall Street landscape sent stocks falling precipitously Monday, with the Dow Jones industrials sliding 500 points in their worst point drop since the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Investors reacted badly to a shakeup of the financial industry that took out two storied names: Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch Co. Stocks also posted big losses in markets across much of the globe as investors absorbed Lehman's bankruptcy filing and what was essentially a forced sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America for $50 billion in stock. While those companies' situations had reached some resolution, the market remained anxious about American International Group Inc. , which is seeking emergency funding to shore...
