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.

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!
