4 Conceptual End State: Data Centre and Telecom Data Centre Consolidation Principles 1. As few data s as possible. 2. Locations determined objectively for the LT. 3. Several levels of resiliency and availability (establish in pairs). 4. Scalable and flexible infrastructure 5. Infrastructure transformed; not forklifted from old to new. 6. Separate application development environment. 7. Standard platforms which meet common requirements (no re-architecting of applications). 8. Build in security from the beginning. e Enterpris Security Canadians Public Servants Production X Geographic Diversity Data Centres in pairs for high performance Data Centres in diverse locations for disaster tolerance Internet Governments Allies (+International ) Virtual Private Cloud GC Network Regional and International Carriers (377,000 users; locations) Business Continuity Sensitive Data Enclaves Development GC Offices Businesses Production Y Development Centre Separate Development Data Centres for best support of application development Leading practice to ensure strong segregation of production environment from non-production Telecom Transformation Principles 1. As few wide area networks as possible. 2. All departments share network access in multitenant buildings. 3. Network equipment is shared. 4. Telecom hubs (call managers, VC bridges) located in enterprise data s or common points of presence. 5. Inter-data connections should be diverse and fully redundant. 6. Scalable and flexible infrastructure. 7. Performance levels should be similar wherever possible. 8. Contracts/services will be consolidated. 4

5 Transformation Outcomes Shared Services Canada will deliver transformed information technology services to the Government of Canada to generate savings, improve service, increase security and ensure sustainability. Generate Savings Transformation will realize material cost savings and avoid future costs Improve Service Transformation will enable partner departments better serve Canadians Reduce current costs through standardization and consolidation Avoid future costs by renewing aging infrastructure Increase Security Transformation will protect Canadian data and strengthen national security Increased performance and client satisfaction Improve system availability and disaster recovery Enhance responsiveness to emerging business priorities Ensure Sustainability Transformation will create capacity to manage and maintain services over the long term Support confidentiality of information Strengthen integrity of information Improve management and performance measurement and reporting capacity Develop a skilled and nimble workforce Leverage procurement to support Canadian innovation Reduce the GC footprint 5
