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.
  • Optimal Architecture - Complements ESX Server and provides an easy-to-use, low overhead, seamless solution for optimizing ESX Server. In addition, VirtualOctane does not require modifications to the guest virtual machines and is operating system agnostic.


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.

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...
