Data Palette 4.0

Data Palette is Stratavia’s flagship, patent-pending platform that automates complex, manually intensive but repetitive IT administration tasks. This latest version helps IT professionals define, build and centrally orchestrate standard operating procedures and report on mission-critical IT operations. Data Palette 4.0 features decision, task and process automation, predictive analytics and an intelligent rules engine that empowers IT administrators to:

  • Dynamically expand, virtualize and allocate server and storage space when needed;
  • Automatically trigger alerts and set resolution policies with no manual intervention;
  • Administer and track upgrades and configurations;
  • Forensically report on database and IT operations for auditing and analysis;
  • Deploy patches to prevent security threats and ensure optimal performance; and
  • Support adherence to the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) framework of best practices.


Data Automation and ILM is going to be the hot topic in the coming months.

Comments

  1. Data Palette does seem like a solid product. Have you or anyone you know had a chance to use it? If so, I would be interested in some personal context.

    We are just in the process of evaluating run book automation products for our database group and Stratavia's Data Palette is the only company referenced by Gartner in this area (Run book automation for databases). We would like to have another product in the mix. Any other offering you can recommend that specifically targets databases from a run book automation perspective?

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!
