In view of inapplicability of the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem to evolution equations, modern analogs of this theorem for a given class of equations should be treated as a variant of applying Ovsyannikov's theorem to some scale of Banach spaces. The author presents a general construction that makes it possible to use Ovsyannikov's theorem for equations other than those of Kovalevskaya type. In particular, for linear evolution equations the author proves an analyticity criterion in terms of scales of spaces of entire functions of fractional order. In application to the \(N\)th-order evolution equations, it is shown that the equation with constant coefficients \[ u_t = \sum_{|n|=0}^Na_n\frac{\partial^nu}{\partial z^n}, \] where \(t\in\mathbb C\) and \(u(z,t)\in\mathbb C^m\), \(z\in\mathbb C^p\), is locally analytic in \(t\) if and only if \(u(z,0)\) is an entire function of order at most \(N/(N-1)\).
