42U Product Update: Raritan’s CompuSwitch-PENT KVM Switch
Being Evaluated For EAL4+ Certification
Broomfield, CO—December 8, 2006:
42U, the nation’s largest
independent value-added reseller (VAR) of datacenter
and server management solutions, announces that
Raritan’s
CompuSwitch-PENT
KVM Switch,
which provides single-user access to two, four, or eight
servers from a single KVM console, is being evaluated
for Common Criteria EAL4+ Certification.
EAL4+ Certification is an internationally recognized
security standard that certifies products for “sensitive”
and “classified” use. During the certification process,
a product’s security is independently reviewed and analyzed
against a defined set of requirements.
Some U.S. government agencies, such as the U.S. Department
of Defense, require that products be Common Criteria
validated. In addition, the standard has been adopted
by the IEEE and is recognized by the European Union.
According to Raritan, the CompuSwitch-PENT KVM
Switch is the first product in its category to
undergo this level of testing.
For the past four years,
Raritan
has recognized 42U as its #1 value-added reseller. As
a multi-vendor VAR, 42U has also been recognized as
Avocent’s
Platinum Elite VAR for the past four years,
Rose
Electronics’ Platinum VAR for the past four years,
and Mincom’s
#1 VAR for the past two years.
