Virtual Iron shows strong momentum in first half

As of June 30th, there were more than 750 organizations using Virtual Iron's enterprise-class solutions. This includes more than 250 using Virtual Iron Enterprise Edition in multi-server environments (comparable to VMware's high-end offering) for server consolidation, rapid provisioning, business continuity, disaster recovery and capacity management; and more than 500 using Virtual Iron's Single Server Edition (comparable to XenSource's high-end offering) for server consolidation and rapid provisioning. Virtual Iron Enterprise Edition is one of only two products on the market today offering advanced features such as Live Migration and policy-based management capabilities such as Live Capacity, Live Maintenance and Live Recovery.

"Even if we had the money for VMware, I would still go with Virtual Iron," said Stephen Bakerman, IT Director at Owen-Bird, a law firm based in Vancouver, British Columbia. "Their support is phenomenal and their feature set is very competitive with VMware. It's going to go back and forth as far as which vendor has better features. For any organization looking for a virtualization solution that's simple to use and easy to get around with, Virtual Iron is the way to go."


That is one dedicated customer! Check out the rest.

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
