Verari joins VMware Technology Alliance Program


Verari Systems®, developers of platform-independent blade-based computing and storage solutions, today announced that it has joined the VMware Technology Alliance Program as a Select Partner. As a VMware Select Partner, Verari is able to work more closely with VMware to provide its customers with high-value virtualization solutions that directly address the complex challenges facing today’s data center. Verari is showcasing its virtualization technologies at VMworld 2007, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, September 11-13.

“IT organizations are seeking a less complex and more flexible IT environment while reducing their total cost of ownership within the constraints of limited power, cooling and floor space,” said David Wright, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Verari Systems. “Blade servers and virtualization each confront these issues, but in combination, their value is compounded, providing an exceptionally compelling data center solution. As a Select Partner of the VMware Technology Alliance Program, Verari will continue its focus on enabling the Green Data Center and help our customers take full advantage of today’s virtualization strategies through efficient manageability.”

Verari is currently delivering virtual-ready blade servers for its BladeRack® 2 product line that are optimized for VMware ESX Server, a component of the VMware Infrastructure 3 software suite that enables server partitioning. Unlike many commercially available blades that are underpowered for VMware ESX Server, Verari provides true high capacity server blades that are designed for production use with VMware ESX Server with no compromises. The Verari virtual-ready blades offer a variety of processor choices, memory capacity and storage strategies as well as comprehensive management with Verari Command Center™ (VCC). VCC can directly recognize and support virtual machine-based blades and combinations of physical and virtualized servers, seamlessly manageable from a single interface.

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!
