NEW YORK, Sep 17, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- 2008 Web 2.0 Expo (Booth 1345) -- Moderro Technologies today announced the launch of Xpack Web 2.0 Cloud Computer -- first in a new generation of web thin clients.
Moderro's unique combination of software and hardware make up a platform for the ultimate web-centric computing experience. Its innovative desktop environment allows convenient navigation through open browser windows with thumbnail presentation on the bottom of the screen. The product's Smart Application Launcher allows web-based applications to run in native desktop windows providing the familiar look and feel of desktop applications. Secure browsing, together with convenient remote assistance and network management, create a compelling user experience, where the network becomes a platform for multiple applications and services.
Xpack desktop hardware is small and quiet, yet powerful enough to execute any demanding Web 2.0 application. The design uniquely integrates a VESA mounting option, allowing the unit to be mounted on the back of the LCD display. Dual VGA/DVI output options coupled with monitor auto-detection, allows you to use a wide range of monitors and for superior quality in visual representation. Xpack also features integrated security slot and convectional cooling design, making it ideal for public installations. Built using advanced power-saving technology and software-driven power-management functions, Xpack's energy consumption is a fraction of that of a regular computer.

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...
