Global Sourcing India Tales: While you were sleeping...

Just to talk about the technology trends and adoption in India. We will cover other sectors of the industry as well in the "Globalization India Tales Series" . So lets talk about virtualization here.

Virtualization is hot. Virtualization is being discussed across the globe. But did you know that...

  1. India is adopting virtualization at a very fast pace?
  2. Indian virtualization solutions providers such as HP are virtualizing major clients in UK, US within half a day!!!!?
  3. Virtualization solutions providers are not just going for the U.S and EU customers but are beginning to already create and carve up their own niche?
  4. Many solutions providers are incresingly going after the models where European and U.S firms are spending too much time in their board rooms?
  5. Soon they are bound to out-wolf the rest of the market because they are constantly on move?
  6. Many large Indian firms are already going for a self-sufficiency model where they are training hordes of their employees for a bigger fight?
  7. China too is picking up and going for this market?
  8. Everyday some deployment is taking place in India and outside of India (via India)?
  9. Microsoft is coming is a bigger way in India than elsewhere with its Hyper-V?
  10. Battle to retain professionals is intense in that market?
While we are witnessing all the henpecking amongst vendors, the Indian market is growing rapidly. If we don't act soon, we might be too late

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!
