I'm coming to VMworld 2008 in France, what about you?

I'll be meeting all the folks out there. They are too much to name here but I'll mention them to you by category: Virtualization vendors, security, drp, chargeback, tooling..well that covers them all.

I'd love to meet you too, so do please let me know and we'll have a beer at the end of the day ;-)

  1. I'll be heading for Cannes too in two weeks. Looking forward to the new "refurbished" Event and I am also curious how different it will be from TSX last year in Nice.

  3. I spoke to Richard (the guy who organized the TSX) last night and it is going to be a bit heavier, so I understood. Well Diane and/or Mendel will do a keynote, I'll miss that one as I'm meeting my new CEO (AtosOrigin) that afternoon before flying over to Cannes.

    The most important to me is to meet peers, like yourselves, and other participants. I have a lot of friends within security circles, VCs (who want to get it straight about this virtualization hype and invest wisely).

    Anthony: We'll find one, if not , we'll hijack one and place it in the middle of the conference ;-)

    Tom: Nope, not yet.

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.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
