Virtualization: Avastu Financial Market Report coming next month

I will be revealing our strategy in the upcoming Belgium conference as well. Our associate, Ashish Anand, a Certified Financial Market Analysis from India, reported with the following observations:

I have been collecting some data to prove that the Indian/Chinese IT industry will boom in the coming years. There is no doubt that the software sector in India will continue to grow in the coming years. Writing a paper on the same is not a problem. But the fact is that the Indian s/w giants have been rather apprehensive of late. The main reason for their apprehension is the rising rupee. Rupee is growing stronger by the day. This might lead to a drop in profit margins for Indian IT companies. The IT stocks took a beating sometime back because of this reason. Now the companies have realized this scenario and are taking necessary measures (hedging etc.) to counter this threat. In addition, the introduction of the Minimum Alternative Tax on the IT industry this year has affected the software firms. Employee stock options too have come un der fringe benefit tax regime! Now the IT companies have to pay taxes on differential gains of the employees.


This and the collected data will soon in Jan 2008.

We are also looking for (Certification is a must) analysts who cover and watch IT markets closely.

Keep watching Avastu site for its opening!

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...
