IBM Unix Virtualization : Meet new Power 595 and the new water cooled superserver!

The new UNIX enterprise server, Power 595, designed to extend IBM's leadership in the UNIX market, will be attractive to the existing IBM clients as well as Sun Solaris and HP UNIX users.

"The high-value UNIX and supercomputer solutions opens up a whole new world of possibilities for our Power Systems clients," said Rajesh Saha, Country Manger -- Enterprise Systems, Systems & Technology Group -- IBM India/SA.

"The world's most powerful enterprise UNIX server with virtualisation for workload balancing across UNIX, Linux and I applications and the water-cooled supercomputer represent major breakthroughs in innovation and energy efficiency for IBM clients and make the new enterprise data center a reality."

IBM's new POWER6 "Hydro-Cluster" supercomputer, Power 575, is built to help users tackle some of the world's most challenging problems in fields such as energy, aerospace and weather modeling.

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...
