EMC Adds RSA Security Features to Symmetrix DMX- 3

EMC, a provider of information infrastructure solutions, has unveiled new security features in its EMC Symmetrix DMX- 3 enterprise storage platform. Integrating technology from its RSA Security division, EMC is introducing stronger authentication, authorisation and audit capabilities to its enterprise storage portfolio to further secure the overall foundation of customers' information infrastructures. Additionally, EMC is introducing new features for optimising performance, flexibility and resiliency for Symmetrix DMX-3 systems, including 4 gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) connectivity and support for RAID 6, the company said in a statement.

"Information security is one of the top challenges that customers are facing today," said David Donatelli, EMC Executive Vice President, Storage Product Operations.

Symmetrix DMX-3 systems also now feature a 'Tamper-proof Audit Log'. With this feature, data centre managers and administrators can securely record and track all service or management activities on a Symmetrix DMX-3 system, including those that could impact the integrity of the information stored within, EMC said. The new enhancements to Symmetrix Audit Log and Solutions Enabler software ensure that service and host-initiated actions are recorded in a tamper-proof log, it added.
