The brand new Catalyst ESS9300: Reworking important navy communications by means of open requirements


Right this moment I’m comfortable to unveil the brand new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence change based mostly on open requirements adopted by the US Division of Protection (DoD) for constructing the following era of communications techniques for his or her subject operations. Adoption of those requirements will assist the navy scale back its dependency on proprietary level options, which can scale back prices, allow higher interoperability, and make deployment simpler and quicker.

The navy 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 equivalent to restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy improvement 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 going through by selling interoperability, lowering prices, accelerating improvement cycles, and enhancing safety. These requirements help the discount of dimension, 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 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 navy use circumstances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities equivalent to Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which can be crucial to guard their important infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities equivalent to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by shortly recovering from community topology modifications, equivalent to hyperlink failures.

Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence change is constructed utilizing Cisco Safe Improvement Lifecycle and helps Cisco Reliable Applied sciences. This protects our clients towards counterfeit {hardware}, maintains software program integrity and allows safe communications.

The brand new VPX3-623 Swap Module

We’re additionally saying that, working collectively with our companion 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 will probably be out there within the VPX kind issue. To kind 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 supply important 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 change compliant with these requirements and supporting important communications and cybersecurity requirements equivalent to FIPS 140 encryption, the joint resolution will probably 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 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 Business Options for Labeled (CSfC) knowledge encryption options to new kind 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 reach our industrial portfolio. Our embedded portfolio gives a spread of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into various environments, together with industrial, navy, and transportation purposes. These merchandise present sturdy, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to fulfill the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.

Determine 3: Cisco’s embedded networking portfolio

The Cisco embedded networking portfolio is ideally suited to companions to construct customized options because 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.

Be taught extra

Cisco and Curtiss-Wright are saying the VPX3-623 product on the AUSA 2024 Annual Assembly and Exposition in Washington, DC. Should you plan to be on the convention, be sure you go to Curtiss-Wright at sales space 2143 to get an indication of the product.
