THEINFOPRO STUDY: 3PAR TAKES TOP HONORS AMONG MIDSIZE ENTERPRISES

I like 3PAR guys for their excpetional and unique approach to storage challenges. So covering and watching them receive such honors is no surprise to me ;-)


Fremont, CA, February 14, 2008--3PAR® (NYSE Arca: PAR), the leading global provider of utility storage, announced today that the 3PAR InServ® S800 Storage Server was cited most frequently as a “Most Exciting Product in Use” by midsize enterprise storage end users in Wave 10 of the TheInfoPro’s™ (TIP) Wave 10 Midsize Enterprise (MSE) Storage Study. In addition, 3PAR was cited as the leader in “Customer Fulfilment,” and in sustaining the highest level of customer loyalty, with 100% of current 3PAR users indicating they would not consider switching vendors. 3PAR was also cited as one of the top “Most Exciting Storage Vendors” for the midsize enterprise, which TIP defines as companies with revenues between $150 Million and $1 Billion. Many of 3PAR’s customers in this segment include service providers and Internet/Web 2.0 companies.

Additionally, the Wave 10 MSE Storage Study indicates that 3PAR has the largest percentage of new customers in this market, with 50% of those interviewed indicating they switched to 3PAR within the last 12 months. When asked to rate storage vendors on a scale of 1 to 4, participants ranked 3PAR as “excellent” (4 out of 4) in the areas of technical innovation, product quality, product performance, delivery as promised, sales force, and ease of doing business.

"The vendors that top our list have remained relatively unchanged over the past four waves of our Storage Study,” said Robert Stevenson, Managing Director of Storage Research for TIP. “However, new results in Wave 10 indicate that innovative new vendors such as 3PAR are enjoying accelerating momentum."

“From the Wave 10 findings it’s clear that our track record of lowering the total cost of storage for customers, combined with our innovative products such as 3cV and Virtual Domains, are not just attractive to large enterprises, but also to medium-sized enterprises including service providers and Internet/Web 2.0 companies,” said David Scott, 3PAR President and CEO. “We are extremely excited to see the benefits of 3PAR Utility Storage catching on within an increasing number of these organizations in TIP’s Wave 10 study."

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.

Our frozen chi's and the Workfloor

I left home when I was 20. I had studied Physics(Major) and had no idea what to do next. I took to the seas, I think looking back it was more like a refuge, an asylum. 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...

A Collection of Threnodies : Part 1

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! I'm the slave to my own undoings I'm the jester in my courtyard We jest as we run We're strolling on that thin rope we grope as we rope we're true heros we're the survivors we're the scavengers we're the friends we're the lovers we're the unbred Soon awaiting the fall we're lurking on us we're osedaxing us we're soon going to be done we'll soon be arrested *osedax(bone devourer, newly discovered marine genus) feeds on a fallen(sunken) whale carcass(which is also called a whale fall).
