What can it do?

Isilon's X-Series clustered storage systems serve as a critical component of the next-generation data center, providing enterprise businesses with unprecedented storage scalability and performance while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of managing storage growth. Isilon's X-Series provides the following key benefits:

  • Unprecedented Scalability-Leveraging Isilon's OneFS® operating system software, Isilon's X-Series clustered storage systems deliver modular, "pay as you grow" scaling of capacity up to 1.6 Petabytes in a single file system and single volume - achieving 100X the scalability of traditional SAN and NAS storage systems - and create a single, shared pool of virtualized storage to meet the requirements for the next-generation, virtualized data center.

  • High Performance-Isilon's X-Series delivers up to 10 Gigabytes per second of performance in a single file system and single volume, achieving 20X the performance of traditional SAN and NAS storage systems. With the release of the X-Series, Isilon has increased performance for data write and random access by up to 60 percent over its previous systems. Leveraging Isilon's OneFS operating system software combined with new, high-performance hardware which utilizes the latest generation of Intel architecture, Isilon's X-Series provides enterprises with instant and unfettered access to large and rapidly growing stores of unstructured and file-based data currently proliferating through the next-generation data center.

  • Unmatched Value-Leveraging the power consumption efficiencies gained with the next-generation hardware advancements from Intel and ColdWatt, Isilon's X-Series achieves 20 percent greater power efficiency over the previous architecture, delivering critical environmental and total cost of ownership savings to enterprise businesses. As with previous Isilon IQ clustered storage products, Isilon's X-Series delivers a single point of management for a shared pool of storage, providing unprecedented simplicity in configuring, managing and provisioning storage resources in the next-generation, virtualized data center.

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.

Whale Fall ----------------- Dress me up in my new threads clasp my greasy palms grease my hair I'm ready for the fall Watch at all the decadence watching the avalanche I'm slipping down losing my buoyancy What's become of us where have we come this far, this close close to the doors I hear them, sublimal chants I'm on the run I race through the human sea I am the king!

Seeking to get away from all that peer pressure, myself and what not. 1991 June 7, around midnight I arrive in Lagos, Nigeria. Company agent ships me to the nearby hotel to wait for my first “boat”. That's the first time in my life I saw a lot of people , a race totally different from ours. I was warned to be careful, protect my wallet, but they came across as just about any other regular folk. That was my “first encounter”. Funny, since then I have worked with all kinds of nationalities (Japanese, Chinese, Malaysians, Indonesians, Dutch, Scandinavians, Thai, Americans, Spanish, Argentinians,..I can go on and on). What I have learned in all that is that we are all so much alike. But on board a ship it is “ really ” different. Your job is crucial and you must work together. That makes you accept each other realistica...
