At this time I’m glad to unveil the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence swap 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 area operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the navy cut back its dependency on proprietary level options, which can 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 programs introduced similar 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 had been dealing with by selling interoperability, decreasing prices, accelerating improvement cycles, and bettering safety. These requirements help the discount of measurement, weight and energy of communications programs whereas growing their flexibility and flexibility.
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence
The brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence 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 instances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities similar to Layer 2 encryption, system authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which can be vital to guard their vital infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities similar to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by rapidly recovering from community topology modifications, similar to hyperlink failures.
Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence 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 Change Module
We’re additionally saying 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 types 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 matches in a Curtiss-Wright developed provider card, and collectively they slot in a rugged VPX chassis. This chassis goes inside navy automobiles to offer vital 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 programs.
As the primary ruggedized purpose-built swap compliant with these requirements and supporting vital communications and cybersecurity requirements similar 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 obtainable 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 Industrial Options for Labeled (CSfC) knowledge encryption options to new type components.
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 spread of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into numerous environments, together with industrial, navy, and transportation functions. These merchandise present sturdy, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to satisfy the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.
