NetApp and VMware to work together


VMware has won the heats and is spidering its web into the hearts of the corporate vendors. and surely there are others who remain still at bay, chiefly competitors, and I can understand the reluctance, but it's time to join the game and make technology alliances with VMware. This would mean several vendors like Oracle and Microsoft.

Imagine if Oracle and Microsoft do make such a massive, and very cool move, like this, why on earth would you want to do business via via?

Anyways , for now, lets look at NetApps's 10 reasons to deploy VMware:

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
1. Increase overall productivity. The
combination of VMware and NetApp
offers significant advantages for companies
that are consolidating servers and
storage by reducing costs, maximizing
storage utilization, and increasing
operational efficiency.
2. Flexibility. NetApp solutions give you
the ultimate in flexibility by enabling you to
choose iSCSI, FCP, or NFS connectivity
within a single storage platform. NetApp
systems can also mix drive types within
a single system so that you can tier your
virtual machines (VMs) within a single
architecture, giving users flexibility and
investment protection.
3. Streamline storage allocation to
virtual machines. With NetApp, VMware
administrators can supply storage to virtual
machines in seconds while achieving
the highest level of storage utilization.

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.

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
