Veeam monitor for ESX is available!

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 16, 2007 — Veeam Software has added a third commercial product to its management suite for VMware Infrastructure 3 (Vi3) environments. Veeam Monitor, introduced at VMworld last month, is now generally available. With agentless monitoring and alerting designed specifically for ESX enterprise environments, support for troubleshooting, trending and capacity planning, Veeam Monitor helps IT professionals proactively manage ESX Server system performance.

"Monitoring is an important capability to round out our VMware management suite," said Ratmir Timashev, Veeam president and CEO. "While VMware VirtualCenter offers some similar functionality, our interface enhances and extends VirtualCenter by combining several types of data into a single, intuitive GUI. This makes system performance data more accessible and saves time for administrators.

"Veeam Monitor also offers trend reporting and performance-related alerts," Timashev continued. "We are actively soliciting feedback from our customers on exactly what types of alerts they want to see added to future versions of the product." In addition, Veeam Monitor can provide agentless monitoring, alerting and reporting on ESX servers in small datacenters or development labs running without VirtualCenter.

Pricing and Availability
Veeam Monitor 1.0 is available immediately, with North American pricing starting at $120 USD per CPU. Discounts are available when purchased with other Veeam products. For more information or to download the product, visit http://www.veeam.com/veeam_monitor_vi.asp.

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.

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...
