VMWare not cooperating with security community?

Guest — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:45:30 GMT

I've been told by one of my customers that VMWare is not coopertaing with the security community (whoever that is). I'm 99% sure this is second hand information, but regardless it concerns them greatly. I know it is related to hypervisor security (like blue pill). Anyone else hearing this?

Add to that (other streaming OS solutions) emBoot's netBoot/i and winBoot/i...

How does Ardence chage ACLs

Guest — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:51:09 GMT

Very interesting podcast, but I wonder how does the "SID changer" changes the ACLs associated to the files and registry entries?I understand the process with domain SID but not with local SIDs Especially, ACL can contain entries built from LOCAL machine SID, that correspond to the LOCAL user accounts. If you change the LOCAL machine SID, then the existing ACLs must be changed as well, meaning that you need to scan all files and registry entries in order to change them and to replace the "old" SID with the "New SID", just like NewSid from sysinternal did. GhostWalker does the same.Sysprep /reseal removes all the ACLs so that you do not have any issue with existing ACLs but then you loose all the access rights that you have previously set on your files/folders and registry.So how does Citrix Provisionning Server deals with MACHINE SID ? Thanks in advance

Ardence is not the only OS streaming solution

HP Neoware Image Manager is THE other OS Streaming solution.The deployment of HP Neoware Image Manager is much simpler than Ardence/Citrix. And it can run the virtual disk image server standalone on linux servers.Worth a try...

How to monitor ardence

Guest — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 11:13:10 GMT

I would like to know how i can monitor the performance of ardence....that is ...when does the streamed OS becomes functional.... How much time it took to stream it(automated ofcourse)..Any ideas??

We are fighting with turning our systems to Ardence without losing our previous ghost images, is there any way that this could be pulled off?

RE: How about the boot up time?

Pete Downing — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:32:18 GMT

Viktor,

Because Ardence is not streaming let's say a whole 10 Gigs of the Ardence VDisk, the boot time is great! For example booting a machine can pull down on the intial boot 70 MB to 120 MB (depending on the OS) and take in the ball park from 45 seconds to 120 seconds to boot. Factors like network backbone and NIC card in the machine play into this, as well as netowrk latency. Overall you will see a favorable performance in the machine and in most cases the user would never know the OS is being streamed.

You can store the VDisks on a SAN or NAS. Brain does a great job in describing this in the following article:

Hope this helps!

great product

Guest — Wed, 30 May 2007 11:37:34 GMT

I really love the concept; especially in combo with VMWARE's ESX that's the idea of scaling out without the overhead of extra harddisks

How about the boot up time?

Guest — Fri, 25 May 2007 18:59:06 GMT

That sounds all great but what is the boot time like? I can imagine that it might be all right being booted of a SAN or a NAS. Can someone tell me any details on that?
