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.

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!
