VDI: Window's Vista and XenDesktop demo; try it yourself!

Doug is carrying this intersting demo. I too soon will be doing loads and loads of Citrix testing and demos. I will also get into the HA and Citrix space and give Oracle RAC a spin with Marathon's everRun. For now give the Xendesktop a spin yourself!

And this African perspective is very important for me as I have some very curious clients/potential clients who are deploying desktops in thousands!

See it all here and to go directly to the login:

Walkthrough:

After you've loggeg in and downloaded the ICA/XenDesktop toolbar, install the tool, if you do have the tool/ICA tool installed then I'd suggest you click the link, "already installed" see the following screenshots:











And then you click again "detect clients"

and I get to see these two VDI desktops (see screen shot):



Clicking on one of the remote VDI clients, you get to launch it via the ICA tool:





and then you're logged in! Enjoy your VDI ride with Citrix XenDesktop ;-)

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...
