Desktop virtualization: Pano Logic opens Canadian office

As in other regions, virtualization is a very pressing IT need in Canada, and we expect to see rapid adoption of the solution,” said Lalonde. “We recognized the need to have an office dedicated to the Canadian market, and selected Toronto for its central location, the sophistication of its IT community and the availability of talented, highly-trained personnel.”

Lalonde will be responsible for sales, partner and business development for Canada, as well as the Northeast and Central regions of the U.S. Previously, Lalonde has held executive sales positions at Hummingbird Communications, Delano Technology and Fusepoint Managed Services. In addition to sales and support, the new office will include quality assurance and research and development operations headed by Anthony Di Loreto, manager of quality assurance, and George Halpert, director of software development.

Pano Logic leverages standard virtualization technologies to create a new approach to client/desktop computing that dramatically lowers total cost of ownership while increasing security, management and mobility. The Pano desktop computer has no CPU, no memory, no operating system and no drivers. By moving all software off the desktop and consolidating everything onto easier to manage, shared servers, Pano reduces desktop TCO by 70 percent or more — saving $3150 per desktop over three years — and eliminates the desktop as a security risk.

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!
