3 1. Service Definition For Video Services An overview of the G-Cloud Video Services Video Services is an end-to-end managed cloud-based videoconferencing service that enables organisations to enjoy the full benefits of their video communications technology, with increased reliability, flexibility and cost savings. Vodafone provides customers with a high quality user experience for video conferences. Vodafone provides a comprehensive managed videoconferencing service to ensure the best possible video experience and maximum up-time, without the need for significant resource investment for supporting the service. The overall video conference service is broken down into four main components to deliver a complete end-to-end user experience: Network Integration Equipment Service Video Service s use our global Multi Service Platform (MSP), to deliver a high quality video experience. This includes access from the IL2 PSN network. We make sure all the different elements of your solution include your existing assets, work together seamlessly for optimum performance. We work with the leading providers to offer a wide range of equipment, whether it s an immersive TelePresence suite or a desktop. We provide 24/7 support, easy to use directions and if you want them, related services including call scheduling and booking of virtual meeting places. The overall goal of the services is to deliver to the customer, a committed, consistent, sustained and excellent video-meeting experience.

4 Video Services are offered using the following Service Packages: Conference and Room Scheduling Virtual Rooms (meeting rooms created on the MCU) for self-service multipoint video conferences (or for meeting with 3 rd party endpoints via Internet, audio or ISDN) can be scheduled via the VNOC via phone, , or web portal, however it is the responsibility of the conference organiser to also book the physical room in the customer managed resource manager (i.e. Outlook). End users may launch conferences using the managed video endpoint directory (address book). The VNOC will maintain an up to date endpoint inventory of managed endpoints and will automatically maintain an updated endpoint address directory. This feature facilitates ease of use for the end user community when self-launching video calls. Operator Assisted Call Launch Operator (concierge) services are available 24/7 for multipoint video conferences between two or more video endpoints. For video conferences, it is often important for the participants to enter the room with the conference already established so they can get started straight away without having to set up the call themselves. Typically this service will be used by VIP users therefore a high touch service wrap is essential. The Operator service options include scheduled call launches; scheduled meet and greet; and scheduled operator-attended video conferences. Conference Scheduling and Launch Calls between video endpoints (including up to 4 audio participants) can be launched and ready for a scheduled meeting once participants enter the room, enabling them to begin straight away. Greater than 4 audio participants can be accommodated through use of a 3 rd party audio conference bridge (additional fees will apply). Operator Conference Launch and Meet & Greet Each video and audio participant will be launched in to the video call; after all endpoints are connected the VNOC assigned operator will meet and greet the participants ensuring correct video and audio quality. The operator will do this for all participants before disconnecting from the call (additional fees will apply). Operator Conference Launch and Attended Monitoring For any call, end users have an option to book a concierge operator. The operator on the call will meet and greet the video conference participants, then video and audio mute, but ready to take instructions from the end user or to ensure that if any Registered office: Vodafone House, Berkshire, RG14 2FN, England.

5 problems arise these can be resolved instantly. This service offers greater flexibility for users if special arrangements are required (additional fees will apply). Nb: The Meet and Greet and Operator-Attended service consists of the following tasks: Launching all video and audio participants into the MCU/ Virtual Room Verify audio and video quality from each participant Ensure correct screen layout optimizing on screen participants and call configuration Verify H.239 content is working (if applicable for the room) Locking the room and muting participants (if requested by the conference organiser) Pre-Flight Testing For any operator assisted call launch service the user can request a pre-flight for the conference. The pre-flight service allows the operator to ensure all parties are connected prior to the actual start time of the conference, and resolve any issues they may run into during the launch. Pre-flight times are located in the Service Request form (SRF) found on the customer web portal. Standard options for Pre-Flight times are as follows: No Pre-flight required 15 minutes prior 30 minutes prior 45 minutes prior 60 minutes prior Additional fees apply if a customer requests any pre-flight tests greater than 60 minutes.

Information assurance The Impact Level (IL) at which the G-Cloud Service is accredited to hold and process information is IL2 and a secure offering is also available at IL3. 3. Backup, restore and disaster recovery The solution is split across dual data centres where the service can be restored should the primary site fail. A back up occurs weekly that captures a full configuration file, which is archived and saved to the VNOC (Video Network Operation Centre) repository. The archived files are date specific allowing the ability to revert to a specific time period should any issues arise with the current deployment. In the case of failure of the primary site platform, the service will be restored via the backup device by uploading the most recent backup file. 4.
