* Easily set dozens of AIX security configuration settings to match external compliance standards
* Includes profiles with recommended system settings for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and the US Department of Defense Security Technical Implementation Guide
* Simple command line interface minimizes training requirements and administrative workload
* Reports that simplify demonstrating compliance
* Support for AIX 6 and AIX V5.3

Insuring system compliance with third party security standards is often a labor intensive and time consuming process.

Compliance standards are typically long, complex documents that are difficult to translate into the appro-priate AIX operating system settings.

And, since standards often encom-pass many different area of operating system configuration, an admin-istrator frequently had to use several different administrative interfaces to configure a system to support standards compliance. The IBM Compliance Expert Ex-press Edition is designed to simplify the administrative effort associated with complying with two common ex-ternal standards.

The Compliance Expert Express Edition consists of a simple com-mand line interface and preconfig-ured compliance profiles for the Payment Card Industry Data Secu-rity Standard Version 2 (PCI DSS) and the US Department of Defense Security Technical Implementation Guide for UNIX (DoD STIG) stan-dards.

Administrators can use the IBM Compliance Expert Express Edition to set all relevant system parame-ters required by these standards.

The profiles include recommended settings for several areas of AIX configuration, including aspects such as minimum password length, password reuse, number of unsuc-cessful login attempts before lockout and other configuration aspects.

The administrator can run reports that show whether the system is configured to be compliant. These reports can alert the administrator to unauthorized parameter changes and to provide a foundation for compliance audits.

All external security standards in-clude aspects outside the realm of system configuration settings. The use of a tool like the IBM Compli-ance Expert Express Edition will not, by itself, insure standards compli-ance. The Compliance Expert is de-signed to simplify the management of systems configuration setting, al-lowing the administrators to focus on the other aspects of standards com-pliance.

IBM Systems Director is the next generation platform management solution of IBM Director. It can improve the total cost of ownership and decrease management costs by eliminating the need to maintain multiple tools and improving the utilization of existing IT resources. With IBM Systems Director® 6.1, you can optimize the utilization of the heterogeneous hardware and systems software in your datacenter. This includes IBM Power Systems®, System x™, IBM System z®, and IBM BladeCenter® to IBM Storage Systems® and select non-IBM servers – as well as PowerVM™ to VMWare® to zVM®, from AIX® and IBM i® and Linux® to Microsoft Windows®™.

IBM® Systems Director 6.1 is the systems management foundation that streamlines the way physical and virtual systems are managed across a multi-system environment. IBM Systems Director 6.1 is an easy to use, point and click, simplified management solution. Through a single user interface, IBM Systems Director provides consistent views for visualizing managed systems, determining how these systems relate to one another while showing their individual status. This helps you to correlate technical resources with your business needs.

A key feature of IBM Systems Director is IBM® Systems Director VMControl V2.2. VMControl represents a transformation from managing virtualization to using virtualization to better manage your IT infrastructure. VMControl V2.2 simplifies the management of virtual environments across multiple virtualization technologies and hardware platforms, freeing you from ‘silos of virtualization’ and delivering enterprise-wide visibility and control. A leading multi-platform virtualization management solution, VMControl is now available in three Editions (Express, Standard or Enterprise) to best match your virtualized environment.
