Eviden, the Atos Group product brand, pioneering in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems, and vision AI, announces the availability of a cybersecure and sovereign Ethernet switching solution, the XMC Ethernet switch card, specifically designed for mission-critical environments.

This innovative solution uses a protocol break of communications to achieve the security and independence of critical communication systems.

Designed and manufactured in France, this XMC-format Ethernet switch card is a sovereign alternative to market offerings.

Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card is configurable, allowing systems to evolve

Coupled with the CPU card of a critical system, Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card is configurable, allowing systems to evolve.

It offers the ability to partition data between open and secure environments that require a break in protocol for security and confidentiality reasons.

The card can be integrated on the mezzanine level with third-party embedded computers (air-land, naval or land-based) as well as with Eviden's multi-level gateway solutions (MLS Gateway).

Designed for the highest levels of criticality, Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card supports multiple protocols and is compatible with the AFDX standard, enabling seamless integration into existing avionics systems. It is also DO-254 DAL A certifiable and developed in accordance with standards that support certification to the CC EAL 4+ level. It incorporates technology from Cetrac.io, a specialist in hardware switching technologies and a partner of Eviden.

Authority comment

Bernard Payer, Head of Mission-Critical Systems at Eviden, Atos Group, said: "Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card is a fusion of technologies designed to guarantee the security and compartmentalization of critical information flows without reliance on foreign technologies or operators.”

Our next-generation Ethernet switching solution provides operators in mission-critical environments with a sovereign solution in their hands, reflecting the know-how of our teams. I am particularly proud to announce the availability of this solution.”

Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card will be presented at SIAE, June 16-22, booth Avantix S3, GIFAS pavilion, hall 2B C140.
