Novell has a plan: Unix to Linux Migration and Virtualization

Novell's Linux revenue is strong, growing 65 per cent between the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, Hovespian says.

SUSE Linux 11 will include Unix-to-Linux migration tools as well as more virtualisation, interoperability and desktop features.

Objectives include increased optimisation with Windows, easier Unix migrations and reducing power consumption and the broadening of Novell's ecosystem through strengthened interoperability with SAP.

Novell currently has some 400,000 installations of OpenSUSE.

The Novell/SAP partnership, which began about a year ago, includes SAP using SUSE Linux Enterprise (64-bit version) as one of the platforms for its SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence Accelerator (SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator) software, an appliance jointly developed with Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Intel that improves the performance of business intelligence queries and reduces administration tasks.

The two will also integrate ZENworks Orchestrator, Novell's cross-platform virtualisation management system, with the Adaptive Computing Controller tool in SAP's NetWeaver.

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!
