Pano Logic VMware VDI ready!

Using functionality enabled by VDI, a single touch of the Pano Button(TM), enables users to choose from a set of actions that instantly solve painful desktop management problems. The Pano Button can be configured by IT or solution providers to orchestrate services provided by the server platform. Examples of configurable Pano Button actions are:

-- Rolling back from a corrupted Windows instance to a known good instance

-- Switching between virtual machines set up with software for different job functions

"The combination of VMware VDI and Pano Logic's purpose-built desktop device represents a fully server-based desktop computing architecture," said Nick Gault, CEO of Pano Logic. "We look forward to working with VMware to popularize this new computing model, dramatically reducing the cost of managing the desktop, and giving users a better Windows experience."

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...
