Achievement Underscores the Company’s Ongoing
Commitment to Strict Security Standards for the Federal Market in
the U.S. and Canada
MRV Communications™, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVC) (“MRV®”), a global
provider of innovative packet and optical solutions for service
providers, data center operators and enterprises, today announced
that the LX Series, MRV’s Out-of-Band Networking (OOBN) solution,
has completed the re-validation process for Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2. The successful completion of
this certification highlights MRV’s ongoing commitment to
supporting network administrators in their battle against cyber
threats.
Mandated and enforced according to the Federal Information
Security Management Act (FISMA), FIPS 140-2 is a required federal
government security standard in the U.S. and Canada for
cryptography modules that include both hardware and software
components. FIPS 140-2 certification allows for higher degrees of
security and offers remote management, data encryption, digital
signatures, information protection, as well as other security
features.
MRV’s LX Series was the first OOBN solution to gain FIPS 140-2
validation in 2007. The company’s latest FIPS 140-2 certification
reaffirms its position as an industry leader that provides highly
secure networking solutions for federal government agencies in both
the U.S. and Canada, and for the contractors and service providers
who serve those federal markets.
The LX Series of console servers, the central component in MRV’s
OOBN solution, delivers remote access, power control, and
environmental monitoring with high availability and adherence to
strict government security standards. The LX Series provides
network managers a remote management solution for running,
configuring, troubleshooting and upgrading a broad range of network
infrastructure equipment from numerous vendors. Through its latest
FIPS 140-2 certification for software version 6.1.0, the LX Series
continues to meet the latest government-mandated security
enhancements for deployment in installations that require FIPS
140-2 devices.
“All U.S. and Canadian federal agencies face cyber security
threats that are growing in frequency and intensity and, as a
result, network operators face a daunting challenge to ensure that
the management of the network infrastructure is as secure as the
data traveling over the network itself,” commented Adam Scheer,
Senior Vice President of Product Management and Corporate
Development for MRV Communications. “MRV’s recent completion of the
FIPS 140-2 certification demonstrates our steadfast commitment to
protecting our customers’ mission-critical networks. Consistent
with MRV’s standard practice, our new software release can be
deployed on currently installed LX Series devices, thereby
protecting and maximizing our customers’ LX investments.”
