Hyperic does XenServer!

Building on its existing leadership in virtualization management, open source Web infrastructure management provider Hyperic Inc., (LinuxWorld Booth #1319), today announced Hyperic HQ for Citrix® XenServerTM enterprise-class management and monitoring software for the popular Citrix XenServer virtualization software. The new software allows XenServer administrators to quickly and correctly assess IT decisions within their XenServer environment. To educate Xen administrators and those considering deploying Citrix XenServer on the basics of a successful systems management strategy, the companies will conduct a free webinar Tuesday, August 12th at 8am PDT. To register visit http://www.hyperic.com/landing/citrix-xen-webinar.html.

For the first time, these operations teams have the capability to create a holistic view of their entire Web infrastructure, both inside and outside of the XenServer Hypervisor-extending their ability to manage and analyze utilization, and enabling them to rapidly determine performance bottlenecks and automate management tasks.

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!
