Marathon Technologies: Virtualization, lock stepping demo sneak peak!

Got this from our friends at Marathon:

We are really excited about this year’s event because we will be demonstrating an industry first -- true fault tolerant lockstepping for virtual environments with everRun software by Marathon Technologies. This milestone in technology enables the first true convergence of virtualization and availability in one complete integrated software solution and introduces the following:

  • First and only lockstep solution for virtual machines

  • Completely automated fault tolerance for virtual machines


What are the benefits of everRun lockstepping?

  • Enables mission-critical applications to be virtualized/consolidated

  • Completely automated setup, configuration, fault detection and management

  • Application agnostic


If you’re going to be in the San Francisco area September 11 – 13, and plan on attending VMworld please stop by the New Innovators Section (Area 1301) of the Moscone Convention Center. In the meantime if you have any questions or want to talk to us more about this, please leave a comment and we will be happy to discuss it further.

Marathon Technologies can be found here.

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!
