Save the planet: Turn off the lights, automate your data centers!

I was sitting and watching the TV and saw this ad from "Act on CO2". This thing moved me off my feet, it always does actually (that also show how soon we all can forget and how badly we need these reminders). Just think about it, forget about Virtualization (for a while), with me:

  • Who are we?
  • Why are we here on this planet?
  • What are we giving back to our "Mother Earth"?
  • What can we do to help us stay on this rock a bit longer?
  • Why don't we all shutdown our PCs when we go home?
  • Why don't we shut down our lights we we go out?
  • Do we turn our heating on full blast or keep in on "eco-drive"?
  • Who are we?
  • Why are we here on this planet?
  • DO WE DESERVE TO BE HERE???
The way we have been acting the last 200 years..umm, I'd fire the whole staff if I was the "Earth CEO"! While these questions will raise a lot of questions in your heads, I just want to take this opportunity to display how badly we have have altered our biosphere.

Nuff said. Watch these movies and also go to GreenerLiving. In fact these videos have been borrowed from them:

With this post, I am shutting my computer down, turning off the plug and I am off for a good long walk. Do also watch my "Green Grid Template" if you are a CEO in need to help the earth become a better place to live and work in.

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.

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
