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.

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...
