Right now I’m comfortable to unveil the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection change primarily based on open requirements adopted by the US Division of Protection (DoD) for constructing the following era of communications methods for his or her subject operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the navy cut back its dependency on proprietary level options, which is able to cut back prices, allow higher interoperability, and make deployment simpler and quicker.
The navy adopted SOSA (Sensor Open Methods Structure), C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Requirements (CMOSS), and OpenVPX requirements to handle the challenges that proprietary methods introduced reminiscent of restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy improvement cycles, and restricted scalability. The adoption of SOSA, CMOSS and OpenVPX helps the navy modernize its communications methods, and addresses the problems they had been going through by selling interoperability, lowering prices, accelerating improvement cycles, and bettering safety. These requirements help the discount of measurement, weight and energy of communications methods whereas growing their flexibility and adaptableness.
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection change aligns with SOSA, CMOSS, and VPX requirements. It runs Cisco IOS XE software program which brings within the richness of enterprise grade networking characteristic units for these navy use circumstances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities reminiscent of Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which can be vital to guard their crucial infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities reminiscent of EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by shortly recovering from community topology adjustments, reminiscent of hyperlink failures.
Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection change is constructed utilizing Cisco Safe Improvement Lifecycle and helps Cisco Reliable Applied sciences. This protects our clients in opposition to counterfeit {hardware}, maintains software program integrity and permits safe communications.
The brand new VPX3-623 Swap Module
We’re additionally saying that, working collectively with our associate Curtiss-Wright, we’re constructing the standards-based VPX3-623 change module of which the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 change varieties the technological spine. That is the primary time that Cisco switching shall be obtainable within the VPX type issue. To type the VPX3-623, Catalyst ESS9300 suits in a Curtiss-Wright developed provider card, and collectively they slot in a rugged VPX chassis. This chassis goes inside navy automobiles to supply crucial safe communications even within the harshest battlefield situations.
The VPX3-623 delivers the options that floor and airborne community designers want and anticipate for speaking each in and out of doors of the system chassis whereas considerably bettering community safety, flexibility, and management on the tactical edge for CMOSS and SOSA aligned methods.
As the primary ruggedized purpose-built change compliant with these requirements and supporting crucial communications and cybersecurity requirements reminiscent of FIPS 140 encryption, the joint answer shall be certified to satisfy MIL-STD-810H environmental ruggedization necessities and ship an array of community switching capabilities not beforehand obtainable on VPX {hardware}.
Along with bringing extensively used enterprise-class, hardware-based switching expertise to CMOSS/SOSA aligned embedded ecosystems, VPX3-623’s safety certifications will allow it to be securely deployed on Authorities networks and migrate NSA-approved Business Options for Labeled (CSfC) knowledge encryption options to new type components.
Cisco embedded networking portfolio
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 VPX change joins our in depth embedded networking household, comprising of different switches and routers that stretch our industrial portfolio. Our embedded portfolio presents a spread of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into various environments, together with industrial, navy, and transportation functions. These merchandise present strong, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to satisfy the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.
