LinkedIn Virtualization Group members keep growing!

We've just reached our first milestone and have 100 members! I plan to do something with our members, obviously events that we held in Belgium is one of the things, but given the fact that many Xen members too are in the group, I am planning to organize a think-tank initiative.

Like I said in the past, innovation in virtualization (and the whole IT domain as a whole) is just about getting started. The Transitional phase where we are going oh-so ga-ga over virtualization vendors, is the platform to start using the building blocks for the next Transformational age of Business!

So shortly:

  • You'll be part of a group where all members think conceptual, work in practical worlds and plan for a future that has dynamic data centers.
  • You'll be part of a revolution, you just won't be a "number" in yet another LinkedIn group
  • We don't care about numbers either. Action is what we want to focus on!
  • Participation and Community driven innovation is our strategy, and thus your strategy!
  • Want to participate in researches, analysis? We will work our asses off to get you guys some paid jobs across the world as well. Do you know someone who needs some work? Throw it in the group and let the one who is closest to pick it up an run.
So lots will happen and I intend to really do something with our members, something good I mean ;-)

Join us here for Virtualization membership and if you are a conceptual thinker, thought leader and love to get into research then I'd want you to join this one as this is about to take off soon. My advisors are pushing harder and soon we will be approaching a launch moment. We are looking for smarter brains who think out of the box, around the box, under the box, across it and all that multi-dimensionally! Then you should join Avastu Real-Time Research Group!

Imagine! All that collective brain power, it is something, isn't it?

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...
