Virtualization: 3PAR interview coming up; More interviews coming!

I chatted with 3PAR VP, Craig Nunes, and we chatted over several issues. The written Q&A will come soon. Hopefully tonight!

Craig has been with 3PAR since the beginning, 3PAR was founded in 1999, and Craig was pulled on board in 2000. So we spoke to someone who really knows what 3PAR is and where it will be in the near future

And today I'll be talking to our Marathon Technologies CTO , Jerald H Melnick and discuss Marathon, everrun and all they have to offer to the big great virtualization world.

I did speak to Reflex VSA (CTO, Hezi Moore) and CatBird (Dir, Howard Fried) as well and those interviews will as well be published the minute I have them.

Other planned interviews for 2007:

- PanoLogic
- VKernel
- Vyatta


So you if are interested in talking about your virtualization, data center or even any other emerging tehcnology strategy and product, just drop me a line at my gmail address. We'll do a thorough interview and will give you the visibility you desire and obviously exchange insights, which has more value-add for all of us.

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.

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...
