NKOTB Evergrid to take on VMware , Oracle?



Well why not! Google was a mastermind of two students. They were little kids and now they buy Billion dollar companies. VMware was the playground of a smart scientist, now it is da king in the datacenters across the whole planet. Evergrid now, as my dear friends of El Rego report:

But, rather than wasting away in the batch kingdom, NKTOB Evergrid has decided that it would like to go ahead and manage your entire data center. And when they say "entire," they mean it.

The first step in this direction comes via the new Cluster Availability Management Suite package rolled out this week by Evergrid. Those of you fond of acronyms will like to know that CAMS plugs into AvS.

With CAMS, customers receive a package than can handle all the cluster basics, stretching from turning systems on and off to distributing applications and load balancing. Then, of course, you get the AvS check pointing features as well to make sure your application runs smoothly on a cluster despite periodic failures.


But don't forget that a lot of data centers love VMware. And also note that VMware is also getting into a lot of HPC. But.....if you have a great ambition, a cool plan and you put your heart and soul into it, then you can be the king of the world. Evergrid folks seem to have that.

Here is Evergrid for you and the El Reg article.

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...
