Gosh the market is literally littered with start-ups. And all are doing a lot of things. very curious what the "Virtualization webcast from 451 folks" has to say today.

Anyways here's the Press Release:

NetXen, Inc., the leader in multi-protocol 10-Gigabit Ethernet technology, today announced its NetSlice™ drivers for VMware Infrastructure 3 version 3.5. This is the first 10-Gigabit Intelligent NIC® solution to be natively supported by VMware, and is the first product of a technology collaboration between the two companies designed to optimize the I/O subsystem of virtual machines.

This announcement follows on the successful demonstration at VMworld in September, 2007 of a next-generation I/O architecture that NetXen and VMware have been collaborating on for more than two years.

"Virtualization, multicore processors and high-performance networking will form the basis of next-generation virtual datacenters," said Vikram Karvat, senior director of marketing, NetXen. "The new NetSlice driver with ESX Server 3.5 support will allow our customers to deploy leading-edge networking and virtualization technologies that are architected and validated jointly between NetXen and VMware. The result is a robust, high-performance networking solution that will enable virtual infrastructures to continue to scale."

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.

Our frozen chi's and the Workfloor

I left home when I was 20. I had studied Physics(Major) and had no idea what to do next. I took to the seas, I think looking back it was more like a refuge, an asylum.

That's the first time in my life I saw a lot of people , a race totally different from ours. I was warned to be careful, protect my wallet, but they came across as just about any other regular folk.

That makes you accept each other realistica...

Whale Fall ----------------- Dress me up in my new threads clasp my greasy palms grease my hair I'm ready for the fall Watch at all the decadence watching the avalanche I'm slipping down losing my buoyancy What's become of us where have we come this far, this close close to the doors I hear them, sublimal chants I'm on the run I race through the human sea I am the king! I'm the slave to my own undoings I'm the jester in my courtyard We jest as we run We're strolling on that thin rope we grope as we rope we're true heros we're the survivors we're the scavengers we're the friends we're the lovers we're the unbred Soon awaiting the fall we're lurking on us we're osedaxing us we're soon going to be done we'll soon be arrested *osedax(bone devourer, newly discovered marine genus) feeds on a fallen(sunken) whale carcass(which is also called a whale fall).
