Storage Virtualization: Intel, DataCore enable OEMs

ntel ESAA is a collaborative alliance that streamlines technical certification and validation of reliable, high-quality, server solutions to end user customers. Intel ESAA allows its member OEM and channel partners to quickly deliver pre-configured, trusted solutions to their customers. They are assured that Intel ESAA solutions consist of equipment and software from Intel trusted technology partners, and end user customers are assured the solution is supported.

“Through the ESAA Program, we hope to reach deeply into the Intel community with DataCore storage solutions that are affordable for SMB, but have the features and functionalities the market expects to find only in expensive, high-end hardware arrays and SAN offerings, such as storage virtualization and management, thin provisioning, and auto-failover, high availability for VMware and other virtual machine platforms,” said Scott Margol, vice president of corporate development, DataCore Software. “We want to empower ESAA partners to compete aggressively for that business.”

“Bringing DataCore into the ESAA Program and equipping partners with Intel server building blocks, gives our channel new revenue opportunities and enhances their capabilities to reach deeper into new market segments in storage virtualization, storage management, automated capacity provisioning, data protection as well as business continuity,” said Dave Brown, marketing director of Intel enterprise platforms and services division. “DataCore storage virtualization is a great complement to the validated Intel Xeon server-based virtualization solutions Intel can offer its partners through our ESAA program.”

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!
