The brand new Catalyst ESS9300: Remodeling essential navy communications by way of open requirements


At present I’m glad 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 subsequent technology of communications methods 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 Programs Structure), C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Requirements (CMOSS), and OpenVPX requirements to deal with the challenges that proprietary methods introduced comparable to restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, lengthy improvement cycles, and restricted scalability. The adoption of SOSA, CMOSS and OpenVPX helps the navy modernize its communications methods, and addresses the problems they had been going through by selling interoperability, lowering prices, accelerating improvement cycles, and enhancing safety. These requirements assist the discount of dimension, weight and energy of communications methods whereas rising their flexibility and flexibility.

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 function units for these navy use instances. IOS XE additionally brings superior safety capabilities comparable to Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port safety, and community segmentation which might be crucial to guard their essential infrastructure and communications, and superior networking capabilities comparable to EIGRP for sustaining dependable communications by rapidly recovering from community topology modifications, comparable to hyperlink failures.

Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Sequence change is constructed utilizing Cisco Safe Growth 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 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 might 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 navy autos 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 out of doors of the system chassis whereas considerably enhancing community safety, flexibility, and management on the tactical edge for CMOSS and SOSA aligned methods.

As the primary ruggedized purpose-built change compliant with these requirements and supporting essential communications and cybersecurity requirements comparable to FIPS 140 encryption, the joint answer might be certified to satisfy MIL-STD-810H environmental ruggedization necessities and ship an array of community switching capabilities not beforehand accessible on VPX {hardware}.

Along with bringing extensively used enterprise-class, hardware-based switching expertise to CMOSS/SOSA aligned embedded ecosystems, VPX3-623ā€™s safety certifications will allow it to be securely deployed on Authorities networks and migrate NSA-approved Business Options for Categorized (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 provides a spread of superior networking options designed to combine seamlessly into numerous environments, together with industrial, navy, and transportation purposes. These merchandise present strong, safe, and versatile networking capabilities tailor-made to satisfy the distinctive calls for of mission-critical operations.

Determine 3: Ciscoā€™s embedded networking portfolio

The Cisco embedded networking portfolio is ideally fitted to companions to construct customized options attributable to its mixture of superior options, flexibility, and strong assist. 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.
