At present I’m comfortable to unveil the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection swap based mostly on open requirements adopted by the US Division of Protection (DoD) for constructing the following technology of communications techniques for his or her subject operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the navy scale back its dependency on proprietary level options, which can scale back prices, allow higher interoperability, and make deployment simpler and quicker.
The navy adopted SOSA (Sensor Open Programs Structure), C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Requirements (CMOSS), and OpenVPX requirements to handle the challenges that proprietary techniques introduced equivalent to restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy growth cycles, and restricted scalability. The adoption of SOSA, CMOSS and OpenVPX helps the navy modernize its communications techniques, and addresses the problems they had been dealing with by selling interoperability, decreasing prices, accelerating growth cycles, and bettering safety. These requirements assist the discount of measurement, weight and energy of communications techniques whereas growing their flexibility and adaptableness.
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection swap 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 equivalent to Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which might be crucial to guard their important infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities equivalent to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by shortly recovering from community topology adjustments, equivalent to hyperlink failures.
Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection swap is constructed utilizing Cisco Safe Growth Lifecycle and helps Cisco Reliable Applied sciences. This protects our prospects in opposition to counterfeit {hardware}, maintains software program integrity and permits safe communications.
The brand new VPX3-623 Swap Module
We’re additionally asserting that, working collectively with our associate Curtiss-Wright, we’re constructing the standards-based VPX3-623 swap module of which the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 swap kinds the technological spine. That is the primary time that Cisco switching shall be accessible 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 autos to offer important 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 outdoors of the system chassis whereas considerably bettering community safety, flexibility, and management on the tactical edge for CMOSS and SOSA aligned techniques.
As the primary ruggedized purpose-built swap compliant with these requirements and supporting important communications and cybersecurity requirements equivalent to FIPS 140 encryption, the joint resolution shall be certified to fulfill MIL-STD-810H environmental ruggedization necessities and ship an array of community switching capabilities not beforehand accessible on VPX {hardware}.
Along with bringing broadly used enterprise-class, hardware-based switching know-how 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 Industrial Options for Categorised (CSfC) knowledge encryption options to new type elements.
Cisco embedded networking portfolio
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 VPX swap joins our in depth embedded networking household, comprising of different switches and routers that reach our industrial portfolio. Our embedded portfolio gives a variety of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into numerous environments, together with industrial, navy, and transportation purposes. These merchandise present strong, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to fulfill the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.
The Cisco embedded networking portfolio is ideally fitted to companions to construct customized options attributable to its mixture of superior options, flexibility, and strong assist. Utilizing their business experience, technical information, and complementary applied sciences, Cisco companions can use the portfolio to construct tailor-made, scalable, and revolutionary options that meet particular operational necessities.
