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.”

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
