Award winning BlueLane wins yet again!



This time we are talking about the "AO* Top Private Company" award! These guys never cease to amaze us. AO = AlwaysOn BTW.

Blue Lane and the AlwaysOn 100 Top Private Companies for 2007 will be honored at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit to be held July 31 - August 2, at Stanford University. The Stanford Summit is a two-and-a-half-day executive gathering that highlights the significant economic, political and commercial trends affecting the global technology industries. The idea behind the AO100 top private companies list is to identify the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments in the global technology industry.

Blue Lane has advanced the state of server security by being the first comprehensive application and protocol-aware vulnerability shield for both physical and virtual servers. Blue Lane products decode all traffic with minimal latency, protecting servers from attacks designed to evade general purpose IDS/IPS products. As a result, servers are protected without using signatures or tuning or requiring reboots and/or downtime; a significant step forward in intrusion detection and protection.


PS: Check out their product line. We did cover VirtualShield in the past and with PatchPoint you can shield your both physical and virtual networks. Do download and evaluate the products, you won't regret it!

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...
