Virtualization and OnDemand backup

While the adoption of virtual technologies is accelerating, data protection tools have not kept pace. There is a gap in protection between physical and virtual markets, and some organizations are now turning to "on-demand" online backup-and-recovery services to fill this gap. This software Relevant Products/Services-as-a-service (SaaS) model, which leverages disk-to-disk backup-and-recovery technology, is an option that can optimize data protection in virtual environments, and offer fast recovery times in the event of a data disruption or disaster.

The primary challenge in delivering backup-and-recovery SaaS to virtual machines is ensuring comprehensive disaster-recovery protection for all major operating systems, applications and files stored on those machines, via the Internet. SaaS has the ability to provide complete data protection, without requiring large upfront investments in infrastructure Relevant Products/Services.

Integrated hot backups afforded by backup-and-recovery SaaS solutions ensure tight integration of the backup-and-recovery SaaS solution Relevant Products/Services, ensuring that the operating system, application or data is still accessible to the user, and no downtime is required on the part of the virtual machine to complete the backup process.

    I'm not sure I understand your concern; so please forgive me if I've missed the mark.

    However, if your post is saying that there are no good technologies to provide backup to virtualized systems, I would disagree.

    I am the CEO of CRC DataProtection, and we use Asigra Televaulting to provide a managed backup service -- including VMware. Here is what Enterprise Strategy Group says:

    (Note: the link below is to an Asigra page news item.)
    "Asigra Televaulting for Enterprises is an elegant solution to the issue of excessive license costs for large-scale VMware sites. The combination of a robust backup engine and the capacity-based pricing model makes Asigra an appealing choice for any organization that is dealing with excessive backup/recovery licenses." (please scoll down to read the quote if you follow the link.)

    Also, I believe EVault has recent news that they support virtualized systems as well.

    Dear Robert,

    That is a quote taken straight out of that newsonline. It is not my observation, I am aware of eVault and also, you may be surprised, CRC. I did cover you guys some time back.

    My my current blog template, it does not clearly show the big quote and unquote signs.

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!
