The Cyber Security Range mission is to provide the DoD enterprise with a capability-realistic replication of the DoDIN at multiple classification levels to support Exercising, Training, and Testing needs.  The development and deployment of the CSR v2.0 architecture is a cloud-based solution that leverages Software Defined Networks, allowing the creation of a customers required network in days instead of weeks.  Beyond the obvious increase deployment speed times, the CSR v2.0 is able to manage a hybrid solution of physical hardware and virtual machine components, which is entirely transparent to the user.  This allows us to leverage hardware more efficiently, and deploy more virtual equivalents to substantially reduce cost.  One of the many wins the CSR provides DISA is its JRSS Virtual Training Environment (JVTE).  Already having been piloted on 22 Feb, the JVTE is providing individual product training on the JRSS stack that is operationally focused.  Part of the CSRv2.0 design is that each student has their own isolated environment to work with. As the JVTE matures, there will be 30-60 fully isolated virtual JRSS stacks, providing a training environment that is truly unique to the DoD.
