Virtualization Real-Time Analyst Prediction Series

I've begun writing a series on Virtualization predictions and suddenly I realized that this will go on for the whole year!

Why am I writing it on CEB (NYSE::EXBD) blog at ITtoolbox and not on my blog?

Answer is simple. Obviously I want you to come to my blog but I want you to come to where the community is. I am NOT the community, I am a mere mortal and maybe a one-man firehose from this end. So while I am shooting myself in the leg by talking about it within the community and not on my "Legacy Blogging Style". Anyways back to the community. I will be covering:

  1. Server virtualization trends
  2. Vendor strategies and evolving eco-system
  3. Solutions provider's evolution strategy (For instance what should our solution suite should look like: Virtualization top down, bottoms-up complemented with security, VMLM, ITSM, DRP, etc all baked-in). Here they should also develop these models with Virtualization vendors.
  4. Customer-friendly solution that develop models for developing "entry and exit" strategy. Note: Here with the maturity and adoption of other hypervisors gets pervasive, customers must go virtual.
More will come here, keep watching this space.

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...
