Virtualization: Whats newsworthy and whats not!

I get occassionally comments from users, one such comment prompt me to write this little post:

"Wow! It's a news-worthy event when Virtual Iron actually convinces someone to buy their software?"

My answer to that is yes!

Why?

  • It tells about Virtualization adoption and that we are adopting Virtualization all the time.
  • It tells us that we need to look at parties like Virtual Iron as well because we are looking at virtualization solutions.
  • This is a blog, I develop strategies based on the amount of virtualization adoption that is taking place.
  • I would even like to contact or be contacted by Virtual Iron clients to learn about their best practices.
  • We cover virtualization on a broader scale; should Sun, Oracle, IBM, XenSource, VMware, Citrix, Parallels or any other virtualization vendor, open source or proprietary, deploy their solutions on their client base.
  • 95% of the customer base is yet to be virtualized and we are very curious which vendor is "truly" working towards helping clients to think on the next-level strategy and business transition.
So is Virtual Iron's deployment news worthy? You bet it is!

    Any press on virtualization is a good press. The more use of virtualization technology only benefits all users as vendors will be forced to innovate and improve their product offerings.
    We currently use Virtual Iron 4.1 and spent a year reviewing different vendors. Virtual Iron has the key features and capabilities that are the core reason for deploying a virtualized server array. With the release of 4.1 it has only gotten better with less overhead and more features. We are running Virtual Iron in a production environment and it has held up to the demands of our business. I strongly suggest a look at VI before you make decide on a vendor.

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.

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
