The EMC® Disk Library v3.1 (hereafter referred to as EMC® DL v3.1) was the subject of a Common Criteria evaluation performed by the Common Criteria Evaluation Facility at EWA-Canada, Ltd., located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The evaluation was completed on 8 January 2008.
The evaluation of EMC® DL v3.1 determined that this Information Technology (IT) product can be trusted, to an assurance level of EAL 2 augmented, to conform to the requirements of the associated security target. The augmentation consisted of ALC_FLR.1 (Basic flaw remediation).
The EMC® DL v3.1 is a disk-based backup solution which provides emulated physical tapes that can be used by backup servers connected to a Storage Area Network (SAN). These backup servers are used by an organization to perform backup of corporate user machines or corporate data servers. Since the EMC® DL v3.1 is a disk-based backup solution, it offers significant speed improvements over traditional tape backup. However, since it emulates a traditional tape storage solution, it can be used in conjunction with an organization's existing backup solution. In a typical deployment scenario, the EMC® DL v3.1 is connected to a SAN through one or more Fibre Channel connections. Backup servers are also connected to this SAN to allow them to make use of the EMC® DL v3.1.
The scope of this evaluation is defined by the security target, which identifies assumptions made during the evaluation, the intended environment for the EMC® DL v3.1, the IT security requirements to be met, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) to which it is asserted that the EMC® DL v3.1 satisfies its IT security requirements.
Consumers are advised to verify that their operating environment is consistent with the security target, and to give due consideration to the recommendations stated in the certification report.
