If you own D-Links storage - you need to read this




From the Article

The affected devices include the D-Link DNS-320, 320L, 326, 327L, 320B, 345, 325, and 322L.

Researchers have identified dozens of vulnerabilities in several D-Link products, some of which allow attackers to bypass authentication requirements or upload arbitrary files to target devices

The Search-Lab researchers also found what they termed a backdoor on some of the D-Link devices. 

“So a new admin session was created without requiring username and password. After it, the attacker had to do only to set the Cookie to username=admin and full access to the device was obtained.”

Vmware - Launches Virtual SAN (vSAN)



Makes sense, Virtual System , Virtual Disk, Virtual Switch and now Virtual SAN

They are on the way to their software defined data center (SDDC) strategy.


SNIPPETS from the Article:-

For users of vSphere, the software pools together internal storage, either hard drives or solid state drives (SSDs), on x86 servers, which then can be used to store VDs. VMware has designed the software so it offers resiliency against server crashes. It also is capable of high throughput.

The company boasts that the vSAN across a 32 node cluster is capable of 2 million input/output operations per second (IOPS) on a read-only workload, and 640,000 IOPS with a workload of mixed reads and writes.

Overall, adding vSAN to a server adds 10 percent or less overhead to the CPU's, according to the company. Storage can be aggregated in pools as large as 4.4 petabytes, spread out across 32 nodes.
