* The Common Criteria Certification feature (z/VM V5.1) and its priced, optional features of DirMaint, RACF, and the Performance Toolkit for VM will be withdrawn from marketing on June 15, 2007 and will be supported until September 30, 2007.

IBM intends to evaluate z/VM V5.3 with the RACF Security Server optional feature for conformance to the Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP) and Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP) of the Common Criteria standard for IT security, ISO/IEC 15408, at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4) This new SOD represents a modification to IBM's previously expressed Statement of Direction of July 27, 2005, which stated IBM's intent "to evaluate z/VM V5.2 with the RACF for z/VM optional feature for conformance to the Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP) and Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP) of the Common Criteria standard for IT security, ISO/IEC 15408, at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4)." Based on additional assessment of requirements, IBM no longer intends to evaluate z/VM V5.2.

All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice. Any reliance on this Statement of Direction is at the relying party's sole risk and will not create any liability or obligation for IBM.
