Virtualization: DataCore builds momentum as demand increases in Australia

“At this time, Australia is the leading market for server virtualization in the Asia Pacific region, and we believe it is going to be a big one for us,” said Peter Thompson, vice president-Asia Pacific, DataCore Software. “Our experience, repeated in Europe and in the U.S., is that once a market becomes conversant in the benefits of server virtualization, both solution providers and end users quickly realize that the rest of the sentence is about storage virtualization.”

The September activity follows on an equally busy 2007 calendar year to date during which DataCore inked its first distribution agreements in the region with value-added distributors Infotronics in Australia and Datastor in New Zealand, expanded its Australia solution partner network, launched a regularly scheduled, live, local webinar program that is free and available to the public, certified its first DataCore Authorized Training Partner in Australia and achieved major customer successes with Kingston City Council (see: www.datacore.com/pressroom/pr_070919.asp), Iron Mountain, South West Healthcare, Chandler Macleod, Glenvill Group and the Roads and Traffic Authority, NSW (New South Wales), among others.

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!
