WysDM to demo DPM (Data Protection Manager) in Storage Expo 2007


WysDM Software, Inc., the leading provider of advanced data protection management (DPM) solutions, announced today that it will showcase a set of significant new features added to its WysDM for Backups™ and WysDM for Fileservers™ products at Storage Expo 2007. The conference will be held at the National Hall, Olympia, London on October 17 and 18, 2007. Additionally, WysDM's chief technology officer and co-founder, Jim McDonald, has been invited to deliver a presentation titled Minimizing Your Recovery Risk with Data Protection Management at one of the conference's business strategy tracks on October 18, 1:15-1:45 p.m.



Data protection is focused on reducing the risk of data becoming unavailable at some point in the future, however there are a number of areas where traditional data protection fails to meet business requirements. McDonald's presentation will provide a three-step strategy for ensuring that data is protected to meet both internal and external risk management requirements, and allow businesses to attain and maintain a minimal risk profile.



"We look forward to demonstrating our data protection management solutions at the foremost storage-focused event in the EMEA region," said Jim McDonald, CTO, WysDM. "The rapidly increasing demand we're seeing for WysDM's solutions, combined with an expanding channel of global distribution partners, demonstrates that DPM technology is gaining traction all over the world. It is clear that companies are looking for intelligent solutions such as WysDM's that will enable them to excel at compliance and risk mitigation while reducing their workload and minimizing their security concerns."

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
