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.
The rest is available in this PDF.

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...
