Right now I’m completely satisfied to unveil the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection change based mostly on open requirements adopted by the US Division of Protection (DoD) for constructing the subsequent technology of communications techniques for his or her area operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the army scale back its dependency on proprietary level options, which can scale back prices, allow higher interoperability, and make deployment simpler and quicker.
The army adopted SOSA (Sensor Open Techniques Structure), C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Requirements (CMOSS), and OpenVPX requirements to handle the challenges that proprietary techniques introduced comparable 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 had been dealing with by selling interoperability, decreasing prices, accelerating growth cycles, and bettering safety. These requirements assist the discount of dimension, weight and energy of communications techniques whereas growing their flexibility and flexibility.
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 army use instances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities comparable to Layer 2 encryption, gadget authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which might be obligatory to guard their crucial infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities comparable to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by rapidly recovering from community topology adjustments, comparable to 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 Change 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 kinds the technological spine. That is the primary time that Cisco switching can 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 army automobiles to supply crucial 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 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 change compliant with these requirements and supporting crucial communications and cybersecurity requirements comparable to FIPS 140 encryption, the joint resolution can be certified to satisfy 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 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 Categorised (CSfC) information encryption options to new type components.
Cisco embedded networking portfolio
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 VPX change joins our intensive embedded networking household, comprising of different switches and routers that reach our industrial portfolio. Our embedded portfolio affords a variety of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into numerous environments, together with industrial, army, and transportation functions.
