At present I’m blissful to unveil the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection swap primarily based on open requirements adopted by the US Division of Protection (DoD) for constructing the following era of communications techniques for his or her discipline operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the army scale back its dependency on proprietary level options, which is able to scale back prices, allow higher interoperability, and make deployment simpler and quicker.
The army adopted SOSA (Sensor Open Methods Structure), C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Requirements (CMOSS), and OpenVPX requirements to handle the challenges that proprietary techniques introduced akin to restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy growth cycles, and restricted scalability. The adoption of SOSA, CMOSS and OpenVPX helps the army modernize its communications techniques, and addresses the problems they have been dealing with by selling interoperability, lowering prices, accelerating growth cycles, and enhancing safety. These requirements assist the discount of measurement, weight and energy of communications techniques whereas rising 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 army use circumstances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities akin to Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which might be mandatory to guard their important infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities akin to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by shortly recovering from community topology modifications, akin to hyperlink failures.
Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection swap 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 Change Module
We’re additionally saying that, working collectively with our accomplice Curtiss-Wright, we’re constructing the standards-based VPX3-623 swap module of which the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 swap varieties the technological spine. That is the primary time that Cisco switching shall be out there 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 army automobiles to offer important safe communications even within the harshest battlefield circumstances.
The VPX3-623 delivers the options that floor and airborne community designers want and count on for speaking each in and out of doors of the system chassis whereas considerably enhancing 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 akin to 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 out there on VPX {hardware}.
Along with bringing extensively 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 Labeled (CSfC) information encryption options to new type elements.
Cisco embedded networking portfolio
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 VPX swap joins our intensive embedded networking household, comprising of different switches and routers that stretch our industrial portfolio. Our embedded portfolio presents a variety of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into various environments, together with industrial, army, and transportation functions. These merchandise present strong, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to satisfy the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.
