India got bitten by the Virtualization bug



It seems like the Indians are finally getting to get grip on themselves and getting serious with it. Honestly I still need to see this really happening. We are ourselves looking for several In-sourcing firms (the one's who are taking all the outsourcing orders from the West and even regionally) and also our tie-ups with the BPO/IPO independent advisers (I will soon publish a Dual-Interview with a top Virtualization vendor and major Outsourcing advisor about their views and relationships of Virtualization and Outsourcing)tell us that this is increasingly becoming part of their advisory package. With "this" I meant the Infrastructure and Virtualization in particular.

In 2007, Indian enterprises would graduate to the second level of 'Dynamic IT infrastructure', where IT infrastructure would be able to effect changes in response to the changing business scenario, it said.

The key technology components that would come to the fore to attain this state would be virtualization, SOA and application integration.


And firms like TCS, Wipro, HCL, Satyam are not the only ones that need to capitalize on it. I actually expect low-cost rivals to grab that market. IBM, Accenture and other consulting too are in the run but "might find too much trouble getting that cultural compatibility hurdle evenly balanced", aldus a consultant.

While there are so many big names , I won't be surprised if VMware got into the "Solutions/Consultancy". That would be pretty well in line with our strategy articles here and would be able to capitalize on this huge market

Anyways here's the news article...

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...
