Right this moment I’m completely satisfied 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 subsequent technology of communications programs for his or her discipline operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the navy 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 navy adopted SOSA (Sensor Open Techniques Structure), C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Requirements (CMOSS), and OpenVPX requirements to handle the challenges that proprietary programs introduced akin to restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy improvement cycles, and restricted scalability. The adoption of SOSA, CMOSS and OpenVPX helps the navy modernize its communications programs, and addresses the problems they have been dealing with by selling interoperability, lowering prices, accelerating improvement cycles, and enhancing safety. These requirements assist the discount of measurement, weight and energy of communications programs whereas rising 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 function units for these navy use circumstances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities akin to Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which are needed to guard their important infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities akin to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by shortly recovering from community topology adjustments, akin to hyperlink failures.
Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection change is constructed utilizing Cisco Safe Growth Lifecycle and helps Cisco Reliable Applied sciences. This protects our prospects towards 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 kinds the technological spine. That is the primary time that Cisco switching can be out there within the VPX type issue. To type the VPX3-623, Catalyst ESS9300 matches 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 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 enhancing community safety, flexibility, and management on the tactical edge for CMOSS and SOSA aligned programs.
As the primary ruggedized purpose-built change compliant with these requirements and supporting important communications and cybersecurity requirements akin to FIPS 140 encryption, the joint answer can be certified to fulfill MIL-STD-810H environmental ruggedization necessities and ship an array of community switching capabilities not beforehand out there 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 Business Options for Categorized (CSfC) knowledge encryption options to new type elements.
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 affords a spread of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into various 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 suited to companions to construct customized options on account of 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 progressive options that meet particular operational necessities.
