Accentuating the ease of software delivery in large enterprises, VMLogix, a global provider of virtual infrastructure management technology to streamline the software development lifecycle, today announced the general availability of its flagship product, LabManager 3.0. With improved scalability, usability and broadened support for heterogeneous virtualization platforms and operating systems through product enhancements and strategic partnerships, VMLogix LabManager enables developers, testers and IT operations staff to deliver enterprise software quickly, reliably and cost-effectively.

With the deployment of virtual labs expanding beyond the individual and group level, LabManager substantially streamlines processes across globally distributed application development and test teams by ensuring rapid, highly repeatable, resource-optimized deployments of complex, multi-machine build and test environments. VMLogix is the first to market with support for VMware ESX Server, Microsoft Virtual Server, Microsoft Windows Vista and 64-bit guest operating systems, continually giving customers a broad choice of virtualization and target platforms for application development and testing.


Ravi (CEO, VMLogix) personally ran the demo for me and I must say I was pretty impressed with the product. I will be testing the product in the coming days to see what else is new. Check out their press release.

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...
