Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The OM 5130 cost effectively simplifies and secures data file mobility between data centers. The OM 5130 increases WAN efficiency, natively consolidates data and storage networks onto a common encrypted WAN link and delivers definable time-of-day bandwidth management that allocates bandwidth to the required application at the required time of day.
Security level exceptions
