Infinite Group expands partnership with VMware

Now that is strike one for the "Professional Partner Program"!

“IGI achieved VAC status (VMware Authorized Consultant) in May 2007 by having a team of highly trained and certified VCP’s (VMware Certified Professionals),” said Michael Mereos, IGI’s Director of Practice Development. “Now that we are a VMware Enterprise VIP Reseller, we are authorized to resell VMware's full product line, including VMware Enterprise products. Besides adding an additional revenue source, this also ensures that we can bring the full suite of VMware products and services to our customers for a complete solution. In addition, as a VIP Enterprise Reseller, we work so closely with VMware’s sales team that we are actually considered an extension of the VMware sales force,” added Mereos. IGI is also identified as a resource partner on VMware’s website (www.vmware.com).

IGI and VMware help reduce server sprawl by consolidating customer servers, reduce power and cooling costs, streamline test and development operations, create complex multi-machine configurations in seconds rather than days, automate the software lifecycle and create disaster recovery and high availability solutions—all through virtualization. 86% of VMware’s customers are running VMware software in production environments to help optimize their IT infrastructure.

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.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
