InovaWave: VirtualOctane for ESX; takes on mission critical applications

Features

  • Intelligent Optimization Engine - Improves utilization of hardware resources by leveraging core intelligent, adaptive and predictive optimization engine.
  • Resource Prioritization - Ensures optimal performance by dynamically allocating virtual I/O paths for hosted virtual machines.
  • Resource Utilization - Optimizes disk I/O operations by intelligently utilizing CPU and memory resources for more balanced and effective resource utilization.
  • Targeted Optimization - Enables organizations to designate which virtual machines to optimize on each host server to ensure alignment with overall performance goals.
  • Full VI3 Support - Fully supports VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) environments, including High Availability (HA), Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), VMotion and Consolidated Backup (VCB).
  • Comprehensive Storage Support - Optimization capabilities support iSCSI, SAN, DAS, and NFS storage configurations.

Check out their press release!

I always have a soft spot for firms like InovaWave, Marathon. It is a personal thing, BTW. I like firms who think in terms of performance and high availability. That they have a good understanding and better feeling of applications that will remain unchanged and will still need to be run and kept alive all the times. Thinking scalability and sustainability ahead of you planning will take you a long way. And I mean you, sir, the consumer!

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!
