ex-VMLogix employee launches "Lanamark"



Mark had emailed me sometime back after he quit VMlogix and wanted me to keep mum about his plans, but apparently he wants to go open so here you go :-)

So what are they offering?


Lanamark Suite enables service providers to deliver hypervisor-agnostic virtualization services consistently, cost-effectively and non-intrusively across customers. Each service is delivered using a service template called an Accelerator. Lanamark Suite helps service providers:

  • Perform hypervisor-agnostic virtualization services by not coupling service offerings to a specific virtualization platform.
  • Protect customer data captured for analysis so that customers do not worry about unauthorized parties accessing this data online or offline.
  • Differentiate service offerings by providing customers with unique, sophisticated and unbiased service deliverables that cannot be easily replicated by competitors.
  • Deliver more value to customers by eliminating non-value-add activities such as complex software deployments and licensing at customer sites.
  • Accelerate sales cycles by allowing virtualization services to be initiated for customers without upfront licensing costs.

Components

  • Lanamark Portal for managing customer accounts, engagements and assessments online. Using the Lanamark Portal, service providers can also administer teams of consultants, manage Accelerators and acquire licenses for workload analysis in Lanamark Studio.
  • Lanamark Explorer for truly agent-less collection of inventory and performance data about application workloads and server resources. Lanamark Explorer is a light-weight and easy-to-install application that does not require licenses upfront. The data it captures is stored in a secure snapshot that can only be unlocked by the service provider performing the assessment.
  • Lanamark Studio for rich analysis and reporting on application workloads and server resources. Using templates, service providers can automatically publish powerful charts and reports that map directly onto assessment deliverables, consistently across customer engagements.

Good luck with this venture, Mark. You're on the right track and have the Virtualization 3.0 exactly on its pre-inflection lift!

    Good luck to Mark, he must have realised that VmLogix is a scam, with their astroturfing bloggers etc. Hope he makes a "real" difference and pursues the "technical" route instead of trying to chase valuation.

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.

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...
