Thinklogical VX routers are the only medium to large scale KVM routers to achieve NATO (NIAPC) Green status and TEMPEST approval for single chassis multi-classification computer and video infrastructures. With our VX routers, you can maintain Information Assurance (IA) between multiple networks. (See the press release announcing our NATO approval.)

Thinklogical supplies key fiber-based infrastructure solutions on the U.S. Navy’s Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System (BAMS UAS) for Northrop Grumman. The BAMS program supports a variety of all-weather maritime ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions. Northrop Grumman chose Thinklogical to provide an infrastructure that was fiber-based, 6.25 gigabit, single thread, resolution agnostic, and could deliver every pixel and refresh frame from end-to-end. Since Thinklogical systems are accredited for Information Assurance by the (NSA) Common Criteria, EAL4, and for use in NATO multi-classification environments, it was clear that this system would be ideal for deployment throughout the BAMS program.

The modern General uses imagery of all types to make decisions that ultimately can affect us all, and immediately can either save or cost lives. No one can argue that. However, when you look closer at the infrastructure that makes up the delivery system for those images, there are some alarming realities. Read the complete application brief.

Thinklogical infrastructures are fiber-based, 6.22 Gbps, single thread, resolution agnostic systems that deliver every pixel and refresh frame from end to end. While other AV infrastructure solutions offer approximately 3 to 4 Gbps, Thinklogical understands that to support an uncompressed full resolution and full frame rate DVI image, roughly 5 Gbps is required.

January 5, 2012: VX Fiber Optic KVM Routers to be Deployed by NATO

Thinklogical’s VX series of fiber optic routers are the only medium to large scale KVM routers to achieve NATO (NIAPC) Green status and TEMPEST approval for single chassis multi-classification computer and video infrastructures.

Thinklogical’s high bandwidth VX routers have been approved for use throughout the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The VX40, VX160, and VX320 routers have been designated NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue (NIAPC) Evaluation Scheme: GREEN. Products that have achieved the GREEN evaluation status have had a full NATO evaluation with an evaluation documentation set available, plus NIAPC certification, and may be immediately specified and deployed. The VX series is the only routing solution on the market that complies with NATO Directive AC/322-D(2007)0047 for MULTI-CLASSIFICATION Information Assurance, and Thinklogical is the only supplier that has established an Information Assurance (IA) methodology across high-end video switching equipment to meet NATO, TEMPEST and Common Criteria EAL4 certification requirements.

May 18, 2011: Thinklogical Selected for U.S. Navy BAMS Program

Thinklogical has been selected by Northrop Grumman to supply key infrastructure solutions on the U.S. Navy's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System (BAMS UAS). The BAMS program is designed to support a variety of all-weather maritime ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions. Northrop Grumman selected Thinklogical’s VelocityKVM and VX Router System, the highest bandwidth system in deployment, to provide seamless interaction between flight control and sensory data. Thinklogical’s fiber optic extension and routing systems will enable the BAMS Mission Control System (MCS) to centralize critical computing resources and allocate them as needed to the BAMS Operator Stations.

May 10, 2011: Thinklogical Achieves Prestigious Accreditation for Common Criteria EAL4 Certification for Its Line of VX Routers

Thinklogical has received accreditation for Common Criteria Part 3, EAL4 for their VX320, VX160, and VX40 switches. Thinklogical is the only supplier that has established an Information Assurance (IA) methodology across high-end video switching equipment to meet EAL4 certification requirements. The VX series is the only routing solution on the market that complies with NATO Directive AC/322-D(2007)0047 for multi-classification Information Assurance. Read the complete press release.

Secure Routing: Evaluating and deploying the right infrastructure solutions are important steps for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical data. This white paper outlines how to limit security risks with Thinklogical’s VX routers. Read the complete white paper.

That was Then and This is Now: This white paper describes both past and present KVM routing and extension solutions. It was developed for both engineering and non-engineering professionals who play a role in making critical infrastructure decisions. Most engineering personnel will likely be familiar with the basic technical content which describes past and present systems. However, this white paper is of value to anyone as an update on new developments in fiber-based routing and extension solutions and their applications in vertical markets from the broadcast world to government and military installations. This white paper also outlines the significant inefficiencies that still exist in present routing and extension systems and how Thinklogical’s fiber optic technology and solutions have revolutionized infrastructure systems. Read the complete white paper.

Redundant Fiber-Based Systems: This white paper illustrates the concepts of redundant and resilient systems and how fiber-based extension and routing solutions can maintain operability in the event of failure. Read the complete white paper.
