3U OpenVPX Ethernet Switch Aligned with SOSA™

The 4590a high-performance layer 3 Ethernet switch implements two switch matrices that control and physically separate the Control and Data Planes for highly secure network communications. The switch has two Ethernet packet processors, a dual core ARM processor and industry acclaimed Switchware, a network management application with a graphical user interface. 

The 4590a offers remarkable switching capabilities plus multiple 10GbE and 40GbE Ethernet configurations in copper and fiber. The 4590a is compliant with VITA 46.11 for VPX Chassis Management and includes an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) micro-controller. It is available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions. 

The 4590a is compatible with slot profile SLT3-SWH-6F1U7U-14.4.14 and conforms to the requirements of ANSI-VITA 6.0 MOD3-SWH-6F1U7U-16.4.15-n. SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) profiles are defined in accordance with the open standards requirements for DoD hardware convergence.

The 4590a may be purchased separately or as part of our OpenVPX or SOSA-aligned Development Platform.
