SolarFlare joins VMware Community Program


Solarflare Communications, provider of standards-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet silicon and reference designs, today announced that it has joined both the VMware Community Source and Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) programs as part of its collaboration with VMware. The co-development effort as a VMware Community Source program member allows Solarflare to deliver the next level of high-performance Ethernet solutions to VMware Infrastructure users.

As a VMware Community Source and Technology Alliance Partner program member, Solarflare plans to expand its VMware relationship by co-developing and validating enhancements to VMware ESX Server and optimizing Solarflare® Solarstorm™ 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers for VMware Infrastructure environments. Solarflare is also collaborating with VMware to qualify its drivers, which are expected to be distributed by either VMware or Solarflare. Participation in these VMware programs is an important part of Solarflare’s overall goal to drive industry standards on virtual infrastructure and deliver simple, standards-based solutions to its OEM customers.

“VMware delivers tangible business benefits to IT managers by improving server utilization and greatly simplifying manageability. 10 Gigabit Ethernet, especially 10GBASE-T, is crucial in virtualized environments to keep up with the increased I/O demands on servers while maintaining ease of use and low cost,” said Bruce Tolley, VP of marketing at Solarflare. “Solarflare’s products are optimized for use in VMware environments, thereby bringing to data centers the capability to support even wider adoption of virtualization.”

“VMware continues to work with its partner ecosystem to innovate in areas that complement the core value provided by VMware Infrastructure,” said Bernie Mills, senior director of ecosystem programs and marketing at VMware. “By utilizing the tools and resources available to VMware co-development program members, Solarflare is improving its overall ability to deliver innovative solutions working on the leading virtual infrastructure platform on the market.”

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.

Our frozen chi's and the Workfloor

I left home when I was 20. I had studied Physics(Major) and had no idea what to do next. I took to the seas, I think looking back it was more like a refuge, an asylum. Seeking to get away from all that peer pressure, myself and what not. 1991 June 7, around midnight I arrive in Lagos, Nigeria. Company agent ships me to the nearby hotel to wait for my first “boat”. That's the first time in my life I saw a lot of people , a race totally different from ours. I was warned to be careful, protect my wallet, but they came across as just about any other regular folk. That was my “first encounter”. Funny, since then I have worked with all kinds of nationalities (Japanese, Chinese, Malaysians, Indonesians, Dutch, Scandinavians, Thai, Americans, Spanish, Argentinians,..I can go on and on). What I have learned in all that is that we are all so much alike. But on board a ship it is “ really ” different. Your job is crucial and you must work together. That makes you accept each other realistica...

Whale Fall ----------------- Dress me up in my new threads clasp my greasy palms grease my hair I'm ready for the fall Watch at all the decadence watching the avalanche I'm slipping down losing my buoyancy What's become of us where have we come this far, this close close to the doors I hear them, sublimal chants I'm on the run I race through the human sea I am the king! I'm the slave to my own undoings I'm the jester in my courtyard We jest as we run We're strolling on that thin rope we grope as we rope we're true heros we're the survivors we're the scavengers we're the friends we're the lovers we're the unbred Soon awaiting the fall we're lurking on us we're osedaxing us we're soon going to be done we'll soon be arrested *osedax(bone devourer, newly discovered marine genus) feeds on a fallen(sunken) whale carcass(which is also called a whale fall).
