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.

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...
