Taneja Group: Incipient's Storage Virtualization is cool!


In addition to the operational benefits derived from Incipient software, Taneja Group identified the following areas that offer additional savings:

  • Elimination of professional services costs;
  • Reduction of operational costs that are incurred when old arrays remain online to support data migration long after new arrays are implemented;
  • Reduction in the costs created by the excessive purchase of unnecessarily high performance storage. Easy data migration enables better utilization of tiered storage than previously possible, and;
  • Elimination of application downtime costs created by traditional data migration.

"For many large data centers, data migration is still a manual task that puts tremendous pressure on IT resources. Data center managers are demanding data migration solutions that can handle the continuous need to move data across the network without interruption," said Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst, Taneja Group. "With minimal time and effort, Incipient can reduce complexity and cycle times and decrease the cost of manual data migrations. These findings can significantly and positively impact the overall cost of running a data center."

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!
