Microsoft & Novell - Interoperability for Virtualization: Reducing the Complexity

It is going is take place on December 12th 2007.

Computerworld Canada Technology Insights is coming to Toronto! Join Dan McLean, Editor-in-Chief, IT World Canada and his guest John Humphreys, Program Director, Enterprise Platform Group, IDC at this half-day event on Interoperability for Virtualization: Reducing the Complexity, sponsored by Microsoft and Novell. You and your peers will learn about the latest options for taking advantage of Windows and Linux interoperability:

  • Is there a smooth path for reducing complexity in typical heterogeneous data centres?
  • In a world of complex interoperability how can the introduction of virtualization impact your environment?
  • Is Windows and Linux interoperability a reality today and can these operating systems reduce data centre complexity?

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...
