At present I’m pleased 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 era of communications techniques for his or her area operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the army cut back its dependency on proprietary level options, which can cut back prices, allow higher interoperability, and make deployment simpler and sooner.
The army adopted SOSA (Sensor Open Techniques Structure), C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Requirements (CMOSS), and OpenVPX requirements to deal with the challenges that proprietary techniques introduced reminiscent of restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy improvement cycles, and restricted scalability. The adoption of SOSA, CMOSS and OpenVPX helps the army modernize its communications techniques, and addresses the problems they have been going through by selling interoperability, lowering prices, accelerating improvement cycles, and bettering safety. These requirements assist 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 characteristic units for these army use instances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities reminiscent of Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which might be needed to guard their vital infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities reminiscent of EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by shortly recovering from community topology adjustments, reminiscent of 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 varieties the technological spine. That is the primary time that Cisco switching will likely be out there within the VPX type issue. To type the VPX3-623, Catalyst ESS9300 suits in a Curtiss-Wright developed service card, and collectively they slot in a rugged VPX chassis. This chassis goes inside army automobiles to supply vital 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 out of doors 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 vital communications and cybersecurity requirements reminiscent of FIPS 140 encryption, the joint resolution will likely be certified to satisfy MIL-STD-810H environmental ruggedization necessities and ship an array of community switching capabilities not beforehand out there on VPX {hardware}.
Along with bringing extensively 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 variety of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into various environments, together with industrial, army, and transportation functions. These merchandise present sturdy, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to satisfy the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.
The Cisco embedded networking portfolio is ideally fitted to companions to construct customized options on account of its mixture of superior options, flexibility, and sturdy assist. Utilizing their business experience, technical data, and complementary applied sciences, Cisco companions can use the portfolio to construct tailor-made, scalable, and modern options that meet particular operational necessities.
