EMC heads to the clouds with PI purchase



We are moving towards the age of:

  • Personalization
  • Globalization
  • Conceptualization
  • Ideation
  • Real-world, Real-time Visibility
And I can tell you more about it but when firms start buying little start-ups, like this PI's purchase, we know that the time has come to move on to that age. I'll soon be telling you soon how the "Multi-mapped covergence" will still make most of the good and well running firms, big and small, fail and others, again big and small, move on to the next wave and sustain for the coming 50-60 years (If they still can do their own re-startup 30 year cycle, well).

That will come, trust me! At some point in time you will see Avastu's community sourcing take off, unfortunately I am not considering to sell at at any point in time. Avastu will "surf-2-shore" for a long time to come.

Anyways here's EMC's purchase of PI:

Enterprise storage Relevant Products/Services giant EMC Relevant Products/Services has acquired Pi Corp., a small technology start-up that has yet to release any products on its own. EMC did not disclose the purchase price, but did announce plans to hire Pi's founder Paul Maritz as president of a new Cloud Infrastructure and Services division.

Maritz is a 14-year veteran of Microsoft Relevant Products/Services who left the company in 2000 and went on to serve as chairman of the Grameen Foundation, the innovative nonprofit founded by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus.

While information about Pi's technology is limited, EMC CEO Joe Tucci offered some clues about the company's cloud-computing plan.

Ubiquitous Computing

Cloud computing, for those unfamiliar with the term, refers to the strategy of data Relevant Products/Services and applications existing on a shared network rather than on individual users' computers. With cloud computing, users have greater access to shared resources.

Tucci emphasized that Pi's technology is complementary to EMC's emerging cloud infrastructure Relevant Products/Services strategy. And, he said, Maritz will provide leadership to help position EMC at the leading edge of cloud computing and personal-information management.

Maritz described his vision as "allowing consumers and corporate information workers to create, repurpose, store, share and access personal information in novel ways, taking advantage of the ubiquity of computing power and a new interconnected world."

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!
