IBM and Red Hat Announce Worldwide Enterprise Linux-On-Mainframe Program

LPARのこと

The mainframe's fortress-like security is legendary. In the security certification known as the Common Criteria's Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL),
the IBM mainframe achieved one of the highest levels of certification -- Level 5 -- for logical partitioning, IBM's premier virtualization technology.


CCについて

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is the first Linux operating system to ship with native support for the functionality necessary to meet Common Criteria for Trusted Operating Systems.
This includes all functionality to enable EAL 4+ certification under the following protection profiles: CAPP (Controlled Access Protection Profile), RBAC (Role Based Access Control) and LSPP (Labeled Security Protection Profile).
In addition to the Common Criteria certifications already available to customers of System z, IBM is sponsoring the EAL 4+ certification of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on System z.


LSPPはIBMRedHatの共同作業で

IBM and Red Hat will provide customers with solutions that leverage the capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on IBM System z in a manner that is easy to deploy.
The first joint solution is security-enhanced Red Hat Enterprise Linux on System z that caters to government customers managing secure access to classified and non-classified data.
Red Hat and IBM engineering teams have worked together to offer Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP) Common Criteria certification for this solution.
This operating environment gives government customers the highest assurance that data is protected and that access is granted only to those with proper clearance.
Today's announcement is the first in a series of initiatives the companies are implementing to deliver a broad range of solutions on System z and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
