9 About Vicom Professional Services Our Services Methodology Vicom's ability to deliver consistent and superior services to our customers is the result of more than 30 years of experience developing and refining a repeatable, dependable methodology that we leverage for every project. Our Services Methodology is one of the many aspects of our business that differentiates Vicom from other vendors. Here is a brief overview of the five steps to our Services Methodology: Discover and Assess Our consultants first meet with our clients to get an understanding of their business requirements and goals. As part of this process, we determine the needs of both the business and technical representatives of our clients. Once these needs are understood and documented, whenever possible we collect empirical data about our clients' IT environment through our various assessment offerings. Having accurate data about a client's existing environment is crucial to formulating an optimal strategy for leveraging Information Technology to meet business objectives. Whether assessing our clients' potential server consolidation ratios, network design and health, or alignment with a particular vendor's best practices, the goal is always the same good baseline data makes for good decision making. Assessments are at the core of Vicom's mission of providing value to our clients and being a strategic partner for our clients. Architect and Plan Based on the recommendations of the assessment, our team will design a flexible, efficient IT infrastructure that is both customized to your business requirements and representative of best-of-breed technologies and industry trends. We begin the process with an architectural design and bill of materials, and move through the services scoping process with a letter of understanding, statement of work, and finally a project plan. By the end of this phase, our clients have a clear understanding of the proposed design, how it would impact their business, steps required to get the project completed, and costs. Deploy and Verify Vicom engineers continually strive to be the best in their field, typically receiving the same training as deployment engineers from our various technology partners. We deploy our solutions according to vendor best practices, with the added benefits of real-world experience with multi-vendor solutions and hands-on experience in matching deployment strategies to individual client scenarios. Project management is critical to successful deployment, as is following our documented best practices methodologies. For any project of significant scope, we assign a Project Manager as the client s primary point-of-contact during the engagement. In addition, with a wide and deep bench of engineering talent, Vicom engineers always have access to experts in any technology area that we encounter during client deployments. Optimize Once our solutions are in place, we strive to leave our clients' environments in the most optimal state possible. Our goal is always to provide a flexible and efficient IT architecture to solve our clients' business challenges. When we enter a client's datacenter, we attempt to extend the efficiencies of our architecture and solution sets to other areas of the infrastructure. By being skilled in a wide variety of core datacenter technologies, we are able to make recommendations in areas other than simply those of the project at hand. Our engineers and consultants are trained to look for problems, and continually look for new avenues to help our clients create optimized environments.

12 Architecture and Consulting Services 1.0 Unified Networks General Network Assessment Services As Internet Protocol based bandwidth-intensive applications are developed, they emerge as viable options for corporate adoption. These corporations need to take into account the costs of implementations as well as accurately evaluate their network capabilities before undertaking these options. Recurring network issues for existing infrastructure also demand expert detection and analysis. Most corporations determine that a feasible solution is to have their network assessed for current and projected performance issues. Several goals from a network assessment: Provide a baseline for future implementations. Objectively review the corporation s voice and data environment for current functionality. Review network architecture based upon standards and industry best practices for its current performance and ability to meet corporate requirements. MPLS Multi-Protocol Label Switching has become the preferred wide area network for corporations and service providers. MPLS is a protocol agnostic transport mechanism that can empower a corporation to collapse their voice and Internet services, centralize their firewall and IDS/IPS capabilities. Carrier grade MPLS implementations are designed in a fully meshed topology and as a result can provide scalable and highly redundant services that offer the same throughput and are as secure as a traditional SONET based point to point circuits. End to End Guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) A completely secure and private transport topology Fully Meshed and Highly Redundant topology Remote Equipment Monitoring, Management and Maintenance Remote Network Backup and Secure Communications Vicom Computer Services, Inc. 11
13 Core Topology Design At the heart of any network is the core that switches and routes all of the packets throughout the corporate network. An inefficient core will impact all aspects of the corporation. By making use of the latest technologies, the industry has kept pushing towards keeping intelligence in the core while keeping the topology and decision tree as predictable and scalable as possible. Trying to design a core network as the network develops will only increase the inefficiencies and add unnecessary complexity. Specific architecture discussions and resulting designs that take into account all of the corporate requirements will only make the core as flexible and saleable as possible while maintaining predictable growth paths for the network. Scalable Predictable failure and growth modes Best Practices Philosophy As networks become more and more critical to corporate operations, there is an internal struggle to ensure the best preforming aspects of the network for both external users as well as internal users. Unfortunately specifically tuning the network to any single application can hinder the performance of other applications. As a result, best practices have been developed to provide the best configuration for these services and the security of such services. Learn from other network operators mistakes Comply with industry standards and be a good net citizen. Interconnection and Survivability Planning As Internet-based Cloud products continue to surge in application deployments, network operators need to be better connected for these external services. To that end, network need to be better connected to the Internet providing multiple discrete ingress and egress points for interconnection without any single dependencies. As a result, full circuit design information needs to be collected and evaluated to ensure facility separation and fulfillment to meet these high expectations. Multiple Ingress and Egress points for outage avoidance Topology Vicom Computer Services, Inc. 12
14 Network and Topology Strategy Every network is unique; every network has a different set of requirements and goals. The network and topology strategy is key to the success of the network. Whether it is a bus topology, hub or star topology, a ring topology, a tree topology, or even a mesh or partially meshed topology, each topology comes at a cost. The cost could be monetary, complexity or even overhead based. As a result, these costs need to be taken into account before the company can determine the direction and scope of the topology design that best fits the requirements and goals. Avoid unnecessary complexities and costs. Ensure the success of the company goals and requirements. Prevent the network from under delivering on services that are most critical to the operation of the company. Application Services Evolution As services evolve, the role of the Application within the corporation grows. Usually this means taking on a more active and intuitive role within the network. From using APIs to make intelligent decisions about workload availability to reporting on current activities, these Applications are learning to cooperate and inter-depend on each other. At the core of any Applications availability is the networks availability. So, with the advent of Software defined networking making an active plunge into the Application Evolution, these Applications will only become further intertwined. With networks that can re-provision services on the fly to maximize available efficiencies, it s crucial to have Application information available to the network so that the most informed decision is made. More unified communication between Resource Availability and Network Availability Predictable resource requirements, which would result in automatic provisioning. Third party Application can extract and provide more intelligence to enhance decision making. Vicom Computer Services, Inc. 13
