VMware: VDM 2.0 Beta goes live!

Get Control & Manageability in a Single Solution

VMware VDI is a comprehensive solution that provides the functionality that most organizations need in order to connect and manage their remote clients and centralized virtual desktops while keeping data safe and secure in the data center. Designed for desktop administrators, VMware VDI offers an intuitive Web-based management interface with Microsoft Active Directory integration for user authentication and policy enforcement. Centralized administration of all desktop images helps you simplify upgrades, patches and desktop maintenance, and you can use the VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) to manage connections between remote clients and their centralized virtual desktops.

Support Remote Users without Sacrificing Security

VMware VDI is also a highly secure solution. Authorized end users access their virtual desktop environments through a secure network connection, and each virtual desktop is isolated from the host operating system and from other virtual machines in the system. These measures help prevent network intrusion and minimize the spread of viruses when users access the system from a non-corporate computer.

Provide End Users with a Familiar Desktop Experience

With VMware VDI, end users get the same desktop experience they would with a traditional desktop. There is no change to the applications or desktop environment, no application sharing and no retraining required.

Extend the Power of VMware Infrastructure to the Desktop

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!
