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.

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!
