At present I’m comfortable 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 navy cut back its dependency on proprietary level options, which is able to 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 deal with the challenges that proprietary techniques introduced equivalent to restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy growth cycles, and restricted scalability. The adoption of SOSA, CMOSS and OpenVPX helps the navy modernize its communications techniques, and addresses the problems they had been dealing with by selling interoperability, lowering prices, accelerating growth cycles, and bettering safety. These requirements help the discount of dimension, 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 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 equivalent to Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which might be obligatory to guard their essential infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities equivalent to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by rapidly recovering from community topology modifications, equivalent 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 in opposition to counterfeit {hardware}, maintains software program integrity and permits safe communications.
The brand new VPX3-623 Swap Module
We’re additionally asserting that, working collectively with our accomplice Curtiss-Wright, we’re constructing the standards-based VPX3-623 change module of which the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 change types the technological spine. That is the primary time that Cisco switching might be obtainable within the VPX type issue. To type the VPX3-623, Catalyst ESS9300 matches in a Curtiss-Wright developed service card, and collectively they slot in a rugged VPX chassis. This chassis goes inside navy automobiles to offer essential safe communications even within the harshest battlefield situations.
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 essential communications and cybersecurity requirements equivalent to FIPS 140 encryption, the joint resolution might be certified to fulfill 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 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 Categorised (CSfC) information encryption options to new type components.
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 reach our industrial portfolio. Our embedded portfolio provides 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 fulfill the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.
The Cisco embedded networking portfolio is ideally suited to companions to construct customized options as a consequence of its mixture of superior options, flexibility, and sturdy help. Utilizing their business experience, technical information, and complementary applied sciences, Cisco companions can use the portfolio to construct tailor-made, scalable, and modern options that meet particular operational necessities.
