Storage: FalconStor's NSS secures and complies with HIPAA

FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), the market leader in disk-based data protection solutions, announced today that Whole Health Management, Inc., a leading operator of on-site corporate health and wellness centers, has implemented the FalconStor® Network Storage Server (NSS), powered by the FalconStor® IPStor® virtualization platform. Chi Corporation, a leading FalconStor Solution Provider partner, integrated the FalconStor IPStor SAN consisting of two NSS appliances into Whole Health’s existing SAN infrastructure.

Chi integrated two NSS appliances into a High Availability (HA) cluster with 24 drives each, housed at Whole Health’s secure data center, to manage Whole Health’s SAN infrastructure. The SAN hosts Whole Health’s critical business operations data and utilizes TimeMark® snapshots and replication option between the FalconStor NSS at the main office and the remote data center for disaster recovery.

“We store everything from email to confidential electronic medical records,” said Chuck Siemon, Chief Information Officer at Whole Health. “The FalconStor NSS saves us time and money, optimizing the use of disk space and no longer requiring the reconfiguring or ordering of new disks for each server we purchase. Due to the FalconStor NSS’ snapshot capabilities, we have a solution that is better than data encryption for protecting copies of our data. We are confident that the FalconStor NSS will keep our confidential healthcare data secure and in compliance with HIPAA regulations.”

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...
