Webcast: Managing change in a Virtualized Infrastructure



ITIL, change management, CMDB are all interconnected. A lot of IT shops start experimenting with VMware and are not really keeping the Change Managers informed about how things are being done it tackle incidents and RFCs. Of course it is for the better. It helps streamline and manage the changes in a controlled lab and then eventually pushing it into the production. But nevertheless the management ought to understand how the new evolving (physical and virtual) infrastructure affects the change management.

Learn how to:

* Optimize the planning, control, execution and validation of initial provisioning and subsequent changes in your operating systems and applications, both on physical and virtual machines
* Enable all of your machines, both physical and virtual, to stay in their desired state according to your policies
* Achieve real business benefits from virtualization today

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...
