NKOTB Evergrid to take on VMware , Oracle?



Well why not! Google was a mastermind of two students. They were little kids and now they buy Billion dollar companies. VMware was the playground of a smart scientist, now it is da king in the datacenters across the whole planet. Evergrid now, as my dear friends of El Rego report:

But, rather than wasting away in the batch kingdom, NKTOB Evergrid has decided that it would like to go ahead and manage your entire data center. And when they say "entire," they mean it.

The first step in this direction comes via the new Cluster Availability Management Suite package rolled out this week by Evergrid. Those of you fond of acronyms will like to know that CAMS plugs into AvS.

With CAMS, customers receive a package than can handle all the cluster basics, stretching from turning systems on and off to distributing applications and load balancing. Then, of course, you get the AvS check pointing features as well to make sure your application runs smoothly on a cluster despite periodic failures.


But don't forget that a lot of data centers love VMware. And also note that VMware is also getting into a lot of HPC. But.....if you have a great ambition, a cool plan and you put your heart and soul into it, then you can be the king of the world. Evergrid folks seem to have that.

Here is Evergrid for you and the El Reg article.

NKOTB = New Kids On The Block

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.

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
