At this time I’m comfortable to unveil the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence 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 discipline 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 sooner.
The army 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 resembling 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 enhancing safety. These requirements help the discount of measurement, weight and energy of communications techniques whereas growing their flexibility and adaptableness.
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 army use instances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities resembling Layer 2 encryption, system authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which can be needed to guard their vital infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities resembling EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by rapidly recovering from community topology adjustments, resembling 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 allows safe communications.
The brand new VPX3-623 Change Module
We’re additionally saying that, working collectively with our companion 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 can be accessible within the VPX kind issue. To kind 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 autos 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 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 vital communications and cybersecurity requirements resembling 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 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 Business Options for Categorised (CSfC) knowledge encryption options to new kind 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 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 purposes. These merchandise present sturdy, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to fulfill the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.
