AppStream partners with Arc, launches Software Asset Auditing Tool

AppStream, Inc., a leader in on-demand application deployment and management, has announced today that it has partnered with Arc Technology as an authorised integration partner for software asset audits.

Under the program, Arc will provide both technology and consulting assistance to their channel partners for the enablement of software asset audits using solutions from AppStream. By combining asset sweeps and application streaming, customers can quickly quantify their software assets and provision licenses based on corporate and EULA policy.

AppStream Inventory Manager (AIM) is a powerful and flexible inventory scanning system for both hardware and software, which can be used as an audit scanner in both deployed agent and agent-free environments. AIM can audit remote computers and even network appliances, including switches, network printers, and other IP devices. When information from AIM sweeps is incorporated into the AppStream platform during an audit period, customers can determine not only what applications are installed, but who is using them and how often. AppStream can control and provision the licenses for both streamed and conventionally installed applications, providing the optimal benefit of corporate software assets.

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...
