The Navy has begun full production of the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) system, which will consolidate multiple legacy shipboard networks into a single, open architecture system. CANES was designed by Northrop Grumman using open standards to reduce costs, improve security, and allow for continuous upgrades. Northrop Grumman has already delivered 37 CANES units, which simplify IT infrastructure while improving cybersecurity through its design. The Navy plans to use CANES as the backbone for expanding access to tactical cloud computing resources.

Since the beginning of the cultural evolution of mankind, architecture has been forming social interactions, and serves as a collective memory, as well as builds an institutional framework for human life. For the most part, architectural production in history was anonymous, in the sense that only architects were involved in the development process and deeply rooted in cultural practices. Nowadays, architecture is mainly a globalized profession in which cultural aspects only play a minor role. We have become a society of innovations, and inventions, the latest development being the opening of innovation strategies, and their transformation into network structures that extend beyond a company's systemic borders. Taking into account the deep impact architecture has on human societies, the following question arises: Why don't we develop architecture applying open strategies? This question has a special thrill because architecture itself has grown into an open strategy: Open innovation is not only a transgression of company borders but also of (organizational, professional) borders within a company as well. As the latter are the products of organizational practices they cannot be overcome (for the sake of innovative power) by organizational means by itself, but have to be transcended in a realm of perception, and embodiment without giving up strategy. Architecture embodies those non-organizational perceptions, and embodiments that are based on form, function light, and material. Open architecture strategies are a special way of self-organization helping communities to develop their own visible structures of social perception.

Economic realities dictate that "new" distributed systems are almost never entirely new creations. Existing capabilities which cannot be readily duplicated at minimal cost are often necessary and even critical components of otherwise new systems. How we address achieving interoperability with these legacy systems – whose data and interfaces are often less than completely defined – can be a critical cost and schedule risk item.
Open standards such as the DoD's UAS Control Segment (UCS) Architecure and the Open Group's Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) provide architecture and data design standards which support new development and provide a means of rigorously capturing the data semantics of information in existing interfaces. At the protocol and implementation level, the OMG's Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard provides proven, cost effective design patterns which support the bridging and/or the migration of existing systems with new, open architectures.

IT Architecture is not by definition high level and sometimes relevant details are of the utmost importance. Many proprietary tools exist for creating IT architectures. FOSS tools for creating architectures are still not commonly used. Also many architectures created are never exposed. In this way it is hard to learn from others. Maybe it is now time to promote open architectures. Maybe we should create more and better FOSS tools like microservices that helps us with creating the perfect FOSS architecture tool!

Ericsson Technology Review: Cloud-native application design in the telecom do...Ericsson
Cloud-native application design is set to become standard practice in the telecom industry in the near future due to the major efficiency gains it can provide, particularly in terms of speeding up software upgrades and releases. At Ericsson, we have been actively exploring the potential of cloud-native computing in the telecom industry since we joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) a few years ago.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explains the opportunities that CNCF technology has enabled, as well as unveiling key aspects of our application development framework, which is designed to help navigate the transition to a cloud-native approach. It also discusses the challenges that the large-scale reuse of open-source technology can raise, along with key strategies for how to mitigate them.
Cloud computing is set of resources and services offered through the Internet. Cloud
services are delivered from data centers located throughout the world. Cloud computing
facilitates its consumers by providing virtual resources via internet. The biggest challenge in
cloud computing is the security and privacy problems caused by its multi-tenancy nature and the
outsourcing of infrastructure, sensitive data and critical applications. Enterprises are rapidly adopting
cloud services for their businesses, measures need to be developed so that organizations can be assured
of security in their businesses and can choose a suitable vendor for their computing needs. Cloud
computing depends on the internet as a medium for users to access the required services at any time on
pay-per-use pattern. However this technology is still in its initial stages of development, as it suffers
from threats and vulnerabilities that prevent the users from trusting it. Various malicious activities
from illegal users have threatened this technology such as data misuse, inflexible access control and
limited monitoring. The occurrence of these threats may result into damaging or illegal access of
critical and confidential data of users. In this paper we identify the most vulnerable security
threats/attacks in cloud computing, which will enable both end users and vendors to know a bout
the k ey security threats associated with cloud computing and propose relevant solution directives to
strengthen security in the Cloud environment. We also propose secure cloud architecture for
organizations to strengthen the security.

CANES:
Published By
The Navy has entered the full production phase that will install
CANES on all platforms in its inventory objective, which includes
ships, submarines and land sites. Navy photo of the USS Ronald
Reagan (CVN 76) Carrier Strike Group.
An Open Systems C4I
Networks Design
The Navy’s newly deployed afloat information technology system called
CANES is a cyber-secure solution that consolidates key legacy C4I networks
by employing flexible open architecture to generate long-term savings and
bring operational agility to the warfighter.
2. 2
CANES: An Open Systems C4I Networks Design
CANES, or Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise
Services, is based on a Northrop Grumman design that
leverages the company’s vast expertise in cyber and
embraces open systems for continuous competition to
drive innovation up and cost down.
Northrop Grumman applied its Modular Open Systems
Approach-CompetitiveTM
(MOSA-C) for the CANES
design to bring the lifecycle benefits of open-systems
architecture and commercial off-the-shelf components
and software. The MOSA-C process allows for long-
lasting solutions that improve interoperability and lower
total ownership cost.
“By maximizing commonality and using our MOSA-C
to drive down material costs, Northrop Grumman has
delivered dozens of affordable, highly capable shipsets
that enable information dominance to the warfighter,”
says Sam Abbate, vice president and general manager for
the command and control division at Northrop Grumman.
Since winning the contract for a limited-production
run for CANES in early 2012, Northrop Grumman has
delivered 37 shipsets. Some of them are already installed
on Navy ships and actively serving forward deployed
sailors and Marines.
With CANES, the Navy is making sea-based C4I
networks easier to operate, creating a common computing
environment, reducing costs associated with maintaining
legacy systems, and allowing for rapid upgrades to get the
most capable technology to the warfighter while quickly
meeting emerging threats.
“CANES is designed to maximize commonality across
the fleet. Its open architecture allows for rapid deployment
of new and existing apps,” says Catherine Meyn, Northrop
Grumman’s program manager for CANES. “And we
integrated information assurance into the product right
from the beginning.”
Assured Cybersecurity
When the CANES program was initiated years ago, the
world was in the early stages of recognizing the harm
potential adversaries or hackers could inflict in the cyber
CANES units bound for installation aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) are
loaded and tested in the SPAWAR Network Integration and Engineering Facility prior to delivery.

domain. In the time since, the threat has become palpable, and
countering it has grown into an urgent national security priority.
“The CANES shipsets we are producing today are
information-assured cyber-robust systems,” Meyn says.
Northrop Grumman was among the earliest in the defense
industry to grasp cyber’s importance and leverage it into
the design and development of CANES. Northrop Grumman’s
broad approach accounted for a host of issues, ranging
from the physical protection of the system to system-wide
monitoring, as well as identification and protection against
potential threats, says Meyn.
“We’re applying our 30-plus years of cyber expertise
to ensure customer missions are protected,” Meyn says.
“To defend against an increasingly sophisticated threat,
cybersecurity has got to be part of the plan. Building it in
upfront makes it affordable and allows you to operate in a
trusted environment.”
As the Navy proceeds with CANES, Northrop Grumman will
continue to offer cyber solutions to guard against tomorrow’s
threats, and has already developed new technology,
leveraging expertise from its Advanced Cyber Technology
Center (ACTC), to allow end-users to safely interact with
CANES using portable devices like smartphones and tablets.
The ACTC, which launched last year, harnesses cyber
innovation from across the company to bolster resiliency for
customers worldwide.
The open architecture standards designed into CANES allow
for the introduction of new, emerging technologies like iPhones
and Android devices before they were household items.
“Even back then we were looking beyond a Blackberry,
to think about how this new technology would transition,
and we assumed there would be movement toward other
devices,” Meyn says.
Northrop Grumman’s ACTC developed an advancement
in trusted mobility called TEMPO that the company will
demonstrate to the government. TEMPO complies with access
validation through a Common Access Card (CAC) approach and
would allow sailors to securely use smartphones or tablets
with CANES. TEMPO ensures proper user identity and checks
apps on the devices to ensure they are safe, Meyn says.
“We are using our internal research and development to
identify even more ways that we can improve cyber on CANES
and carry it to the deck plate and beyond,” Meyn says.
Reaching for the Cloud
The Navy is planning to use CANES as the backbone
for an expansion to the Tactical Cloud to quickly and cost
effectively access, deploy and store Big Data.
While the Cloud was not on the horizon when CANES was
designed, the Navy is able to take advantage of its open
architecture design to adapt the system for Cloud operations.
“CANES is a tremendous capability,” Meyn says. “When we
started, there was no Cloud. But as with all new technology,
once you get it you find it’s used in ways that you never
imagined when it was being designed.”
CANES would allow sailors to access data on the Cloud
while underway without having to store it all on the ship,
limiting the need for massive amounts of onboard storage
space. End-users could acquire the requisite data and send
it back to the Cloud once the mission is complete. They
could also share new data with others by uploading it to
the Cloud.
“The point of Cloud computing is having the right
information at the right time in the right place,” Meyn says.
“The Cloud allows you to collect and contain enormous
amounts of data and disseminate it to the right location in
the right format.”
CANES is simplifying the IT infrastructure on Navy ships.

Open Competition
The Navy has entered the full production phase that will
install CANES on all platforms in its inventory objective,
which includes ships, submarines and land sites. The
Northrop Grumman design owned by the Navy will serve as
the basis for full production units that will be awarded in
small numbers at a time to competing companies.
The acquisition strategy is intended to promote continuous
competition to get the right price, a key tenet of the open
architecture business model increasingly critical in an era of
constrained budgets.
Northrop Grumman was quick to harness the potential
of open architecture solutions, and to recognize the value
of sharing data rights with the government, minimizing
sustainment and lifecycle costs while promoting a
collaborative and competitive environment.
“We know that we will always be looking into the future
and innovating,” Meyn says, outlining why Northrop Grumman
was comfortable handing over the data rights in partnership
with the Navy.
“We know that technology is fleeting, and people are
always moving to the next technology,” she adds. “We
can leverage that technology. So can the government. And
together we can come up with something that is better than
the sum of its parts.”
