VMworld: Veeam to demo two commercial products around Virtual Management!

The company next week at VMworld plans to announce two commercial products to round out its portfolio. Veeam Monitor is software designed to manage the performance of virtual machines and provide tools for capacity planning, trending and alerting. Veeam Backup combines backup and replication features in one product, and is designed for virtual environments, Timashev says.

Currently the company offers FastSCP 2.0 for VMware, which Timashev describes as a freeware file management product that helps customers move virtual machines and copy instances from one server to another. FastSCP was originally released in October 2006 and, says Timashev, "became the de facto standard for ESX file management." Veeam Reporter, released in January 2006, provides detailed reports on VMware virtual infrastructure and ESX Server. Veeam Configurator, announced in July, offers customers a Windows GUI with which to configure VMware servers.

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...
