KBC Clearing chooses XenSource




“We follow banking restrictions which require the separation of certain services on different servers,” said Rob de Wit, IT specialist of KBC Clearing. “XenSource has made our lives much easier by allowing us to follow these regulations through the provisioning of virtual servers. We have found XenEnterprise easy to use, enabling us to create virtual machines in minutes and reduce the number of physical servers, helping to simplify our data center and allowing us to more easily manage our virtual environments.”

KBC Clearing researched other vendors before deciding to virtualize with XenSource. The company made their decision after testing both VMware ESX and XenEnterprise, and finding XenEnterprise’s performance to be superior. Since deployment in July 2006, KBC Clearing has reduced its data center to an eighth of its original physical size, and cut costs by not needing to manage and purchase additional physical servers.

“Like many other XenSource customers, KBC Clearing chose XenSource based on the high performance and ease of use of our products including XenEnterprise,” said John Bara, vice president of marketing at XenSource. “XenEnterprise enables customers to achieve the benefits of virtualization quickly, easily and dependably. We are pleased to welcome KBC Clearing to our expanding list of customers.”

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...
