3 What is the Marketplace GovDC enables an ICT services Marketplace by providing a channel for agency demand and providing robust, secure connectivity with service suppliers The Data Centre Reform Project will consolidate into two state-of-the art facilities the 130+ NSW Government data centres currently in operation. The project will improve cost, service quality and capacity to support ongoing and future agency operations. GovDC will facilitate agency transition to a service orientation by providing Data Centre as a Service, which gives agencies secure and efficient access to a shared pool of state of the art infrastructure, as well as access to the Government Private Marketplace. The Marketplace allows agencies to source reliable infrastructure as a service, platform as a service and software as a service, provided by third parties and government shared service providers, through the ICT Service Catalogue. 3 Government Private Marketplace The Marketplace exists as a hub where suppliers can provide IT as-a-service products to agencies from within GovDC, bringing supply and demand together in a central location. The products offered from the Marketplace will cover infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-aservice and software-as-a-service offerings, which can be purchased through the Service Catalogue. At launch 60+ suppliers have submitted expressions of interest and 30+ suppliers have signed non-disclosure agreements. Whilst operating from within GovDC facilities, agencies are able to maintain sovereignty over their ICT infrastructure, and they are responsible for procuring and operating all ICT components from networks and storage to compute, platforms and applications. The Marketplace also promotes key elements of the Data Centre Reform Project and NSW Government ICT 2013 Strategy including incentivising the consolidation of agency s ICT infrastructure to reduce operational costs. GovDC provides a scalable and highly available network component, the Services Backbone, to all tenants. It has been designed to enable a multi tenant environment with plug n play modularity. This allows ICT components to be provided by separate suppliers. The underlying GovDC facilities include a range of features that enable secure, robust and efficient operation of a services marketplace. This includes two data centres designed to offer active-active operations, data centre facilities bundled as a Service and standard pre-approved commercial terms between buyers and suppliers.

4 What is the Marketplace The Marketplace enables service quality, cost benefits and risk reduction to agencies and suppliers acting as both buyers and sellers 4 Buyers: Straightforward access to a growing range of IT-as-a- Service providers in a single, central location Reduced procurement costs through central Service Catalogue, standard contracting approaches, and increasingly automated ordering and provisioning Faster and simpler provisioning of services Pre-built and tested plug n play connectivity to marketplace services On-premise suppliers deliver secure services at low latency whilst allowing retention of data sovereignty Supplier services underpinned by high quality data centre SLAs and environmental characteristics of GovDC including 100% uptime capability, NABERS 5* Supplier costs reduced by access to Government low cost electricity (C777 contract) Fosters supplier innovation and competition Facilitates move from asset ownership to services consumption, in line with NSW ICT Strategy 2013 Complements public cloud services market Potential commercial benefits by aggregating demand during procurements and services consumption Sellers: A central channel to agency demand Secure, low latency connectivity to buyer infrastructure through the Services Backbone Provides access to buyers via a single central Service Catalogue with the ability to quickly add new service offerings visible to all Underlying data centre facilities provided in a simple to consume Data Centre as a Service package with a single, low per kw charge High quality data centre SLAs and environmental characteristics of GovDC - Tier III certified concurrently maintainable facilities offer 100% uptime target, NABERS 5 star rating Simpler way of doing business with Government - contractual arrangements with GovDC facilitate faster procurement turn around and provisioning of services to customers Easy access to other suppliers services providing flexible options to create composite infrastructure Easily expandable capacity as demand increases Level playing field for suppliers of all sizes

5 Infrastructure - Platform Software What is the Marketplace The Service Catalogue provides a mechanism for suppliers to publicise their services to agencies, and agencies to discover services available The Service Catalogue is intended to include a comprehensive range of IT as a Service offerings aligned with agency demand. Examples of potential services include: Business applications as a Service e.g. CRM, Government standards configured ERP as a Service (Finance, HR) Big Data Analysis as a Service Payment Gateway as a Service Mobile Device Management as a Service Network Gateway as a Service Operating systems Application environments Load Balancer as a Service Agencies access the Service Catalogue via NSWBuy ecatalogues (1) which provides: Search and browse capabilities across available services Access to sourcing and purchasing capability aligned to service type and scale, ranging from rapid online fulfilment to sourcing events e.g. EOI, RFT, RFQ Supporting information on use of the ecatalogue is available via ProcurePoint (2) Suppliers register services in the Service Catalogue to promote their availability to agencies. Suppliers must be pre-approved to supply ICT services to government through the appropriate procurement scheme. Firewall as a Service Virtual machines (Compute as a Service) Storage as a Service Backup and Archiving as a Service Telephony as a Service Data Centre as a Service services are also available via the Service Catalogue, provided by Metronode. 5 (1) (2)

6 What is the Marketplace The state of the art GovDC facilities provide the secure, reliable, trusted environment required to enable the Marketplace Tier III certified, concurrently maintainable facilities Scalable, modular and secure Services Backbone An ICT services Service Catalogue bringing together buyers and suppliers Standardised commercial arrangements to expedite procurement processes 6 GovDC facilities / Data Centre as a Service (DCaaS) Two concurrently maintainable state of the art data centres with fibre ring connection - active active capability Guaranteed capacity availability with flexibility in growth to meet agency needs - up to 18MW of total capacity across both data centres Data Centres designed, constructed and certified to Uptime Institute design, build and operate Tier III standards, and NABERS five star for data centre and office space environmental certification Data Centre as a Service includes in a single per kw charge, a range of data centre components which may typically be procured separately. These components include: asset management, network services, build rooms, car parking, security services, in addition to physical, mechanical and utility components. Online Service Portal: streamlined method for ordering components, authorising access and monitoring the operational conditions of a GovDC environment Services Backbone A scalable, modular and highly available network infrastructure component which provides standardised frameworks for agencies to consume services and suppliers to provide services Concentric security model enables the multi-tenancy environment by managing traffic in a secure, trusted way through a series of Domains and Zones. The security model also enables security certifications including ISO27001 Service Catalogue A one stop shop for ICT services, the Service Catalogue is accessible through NSWBuy and it enables agencies to search for ICT services provided by vetted external vendors Commercial arrangements All suppliers are required to sign the sub-licence contract and services are provided to agencies through the ICT Services Scheme Community access / events / marketing

7 Marketplace operation The GovDC Services Backbone, security certifications and Single Sign On together provide the trusted connectivity required to operate a Marketplace Services Backbone The Services Backbone is a scalable and highly available network infrastructure component which provides a standardised framework for Government departments and agencies to consume services. Features of the Backbone include: Connectivity: low latency connectivity to agency and supplier infrastructure Reliability: active, active design from within a Tier III facility Security: the domain and zone model provides a high degree of security to both public and private tenants Modularity: enables GovDC users to consume any and all of their data centre services as a Service (plug n play) Multi tenancy: maintain infrastructure resilience and integrity for all users through virtual partitioning Always on: maximise the operational availability of applications, systems and infrastructure Certifications The Services Backbone provides tenants with a pathway to key security certifications. The Backbone also extends as an accreditation assurance framework to agencies and suppliers. Tenants wishing to undertake certifications can have their scope reduced or can achieve certification without undertaking any further activity if subscribed to ICT Compliant Services. The baseline standards used in the design of the Services Backbone promote alignment with NSW Digital Information Security Policy and NSW Government ICT Strategy 2013, as well as industry standards. These standards can be utilised as a benchmark for Agencies compliance programs. Certifications enabled by the Services Backbone include: ISO27001: Data Center Management, ICT Services Backbone Management PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider Certification: NSW Government Hosted Payment Gateway DSD Gateway Certification: Commercial Gateway / Cross Domain Certification classified up to Protected Certifications scope is limited to within GovDC however provides a clear pathway for all users. Single Sign On (SSO) The GovDC SSO provides a centralised authentication service to all applications provided via the Government Private Marketplace and the Services Backbone. The SSO will provide: Integration with local agencies to ensure an endto-end authentication experience where users will access applications based on the desktop login Account self-service tools, enabling users to manage their GovDC account Workflows to allow user driven access requests and account fulfilment to downstream applications Features of the Single Sign On: Governance and Security Workflow automation Automated Account Provisioning Identity Aggregation Federation Self Service Tools 7

8 Marketplace operation Standard contracts and commercial arrangements within the Marketplace reduce risk, cost and time to market for sourcing and supplying services Agencies All Marketplace services are bought through the ICT Services Scheme, which provides agencies with the following benefits: Appropriate due diligence on Suppliers during the Scheme registration and pre-approval process Adheres to the Procure IT contracting framework with pre-negotiated T&Cs and supply categories Service obligations e.g. service-specific SLAs are included as an attachment to the standard Order Form Agencies are also able to source services from other agencies with contractual arrangements organised on a case by case basis. Marketplace suppliers A Sub-licence agreement between GovDC and each Marketplace supplier defines the terms under which Suppliers take space within the data centre. Marketplace Rules Rules are in place to guide the marketplace operation. Such as: All services in the Government Private Marketplace are provided and accessed through the Services Backbone GovDC Single Sign On will be used for authentication to Marketplace services where relevant All services must be contracted via the relevant procurement scheme Contract terms cannot exceed length of sub-license Suppliers are only allowed to supply services to Public Sector or to those supporting the Public Sector The design and construction of the active-active GovDC facilities, Tier III build and operate, allows suppliers to engineer their service offerings to allow for a 100% uptime SLA. Completion of the sub-licence and ICT Services Scheme registration allows suppliers to include their services in the GovDC Service Catalogue, providing direct exposure to agencies. Suppliers are also able to source services from other marketplace suppliers; In this instance the two suppliers will maintain a separate contractual arrangement which doesn t affect the end user s SLA. 8

9 Marketplace operation The ICT Services Scheme and Sub-licence agreements provide standard arrangements for providing and receiving services from within GovDC ICT Services Scheme The NSW Government ICT Services Scheme is the new model for delivering ICT services to NSW Government. The Procure IT contracting framework forms the basis for the Scheme. New arrangements ensure that NSW Government agencies can find and procure the goods and services that best meet their needs, making it easier for industry to do business with Government. The ICT Services Scheme features include: New straightforward online application to remove lengthy and expensive tender processes Always open policy, allows suppliers to register for inclusion on the Scheme at any time, giving access to new suppliers and emerging technologies Streamlined ICT service categories aligned to the NSW 2013 ICT Strategy Introduction of two supplier lists: The Registered Supplier List for low risk contracts valued up to $150,000 The Advanced Registered Supplier List for high risk contracts or contracts valued over $150,000. Suppliers can be included on one or both of these lists New, simple short-form contract for the low risk low value category of work provides opportunities for small to medium businesses. This reduces the cost of doing business with government Service obligations e.g. service-specific SLAs are included as an attachment to the standard Order Form Sub-license The Sub-license agreement defines the terms under which suppliers providing services to Government bodies take space within GovDC. This sub-license reflects the Head Contract between the Department of Finance and Services and Metronode, the owner and operator of the GovDC facility. The Sub-license features include: Allows licensees to install and retain equipment as a licensee of the State in the Data Halls, to engage or use any of the services, pass and re-pass at all times over the Common Areas Agrees kw load commitment between supplier and GovDC, and the SLAs under which associated data centre space and services are provided Data centre space and services are supplied as a bundled Data Centre as a Service package, offering suppliers a single charge for all physical, mechanical, environmental and electrical services, and including Services Backbone use and access to the GovDC management portal Power charges are passed through at low cost from the Government C777 contract Licensees must also commit to source a number of optional data centre services from the GovDC operator should they require them, including: installation of racks and custom engineering, structured cabling and cable management service, electrical power and earth connections, security upgrades 9

10 Marketplace operation The growth, development and operation of the Marketplace is facilitated by GovDC through a number of mechanisms Marketplace access from outside of the data centres Agencies are able to access the Marketplace and consume Marketplace services from any location: 1. GovDC Unanderra data centre 2. GovDC Silverwater data centre 3. Global Switch data centre 4. Via WAN or internet connection to the Services Backbone Composite ICT architectures The Marketplace and Services Backbone enables tenants to design and build composite ICT architectures with multiple suppliers providing components, with minimal changes to their technical design kw trading scheme to encourage services consumption The kw trading scheme is designed to help agencies manage down the risk associated with forward commitment to kw load and to encourage services consumption from the marketplace. Through their MoU with GovDC, agencies commit to a specific annual kw load; suppliers commit via the sublicense As agencies move their ICT environment to services they can reduce their kw commitment with a credit from the supplier providing their service Suppliers can provide credits up to the amount of their committed load Public cloud services are also accessible via the Marketplace Public cloud providers will also be able to register their services in the Services Catalogue once approved under the ICT Services Scheme. Agencies will be able to buy such services once they have considered the relevant policies for use of public cloud services. The GovDC Services Backbone provides a secure route for agency data from their own networks to public cloud services. When using such services via the Services Backbone, commercial benefits may be available through aggregating consumption for charging purposes Market forces shape the Marketplace as it matures GovDC provides the framework to facilitate the establishment of the Marketplace. Once established, market forces of supply and demand will shape the features of the Marketplace including the nature of services available, buying and charging approaches, pricing. The intent is that the Marketplace will foster innovation from both buyers and sellers. Sandpit environment to trial Marketplace services The Marketplace provides an easy pathway to trial services, encouraging the establishment of short term sandpit environments prior to larger commitments: Agencies can source as a Service services and trial these for short term to gauge their effectiveness and suitability These short term trials are designed to encourage and support agencies in their move to services consumption 10

11 Marketplace operation Agencies and suppliers are able to develop their own ICT services consumption models through the Marketplace Agency example #1 Hybrid co-lo / as a Service Agency migrates their data centre infrastructure to the GovDC facility. They replace a proportion of their infrastructure and applications with services sourced from the Marketplace. Mix of marketplace sourced and agency owned software Supplier example #1 SaaS Appliance A Marketplace supplier locates their own infrastructure in the data centre and deploys software on to that. Supplier s software available through the Marketplace Mix of marketplace sourced and agency owned infrastructure Supplier owned infrastructure Data Centre as a Service provided by GovDC Data Centre as a Service provided by GovDC Agency example #2 Mature services stack Instead of procuring new infrastructure and software licenses, an agency migrates to a fully managed service model with services sourced from the Marketplace. Software sourced from the Marketplace as a Service Supplier example #2 SaaS A Marketplace supplier provides Software as a Service deployed on Infrastructure as a Service sourced from the Marketplace. Supplier s software available through the Marketplace Infrastructure sourced from the Marketplace as a Service Infrastructure sourced from the Marketplace as a Service Data Centre contract not required by Agency Data Centre contract not required by Supplier 11

12 Marketplace operation Suppliers complete standard commercial arrangements to gain access to the Marketplace, prior to technical onboarding to the Services Backbone Registration 1. ICT Services Scheme Suppliers register on the ICT Services Scheme. Registration is completed through an online application form available on the ProcurePoint website (1) and is assessed by the NSW Procurement team. 1. ICT Services Scheme 2. Sub-licence agreement 2. Sub-licence agreement Supplier initiates the process for agreeing a sub-licence with GovDC. The information required is available on the NSW Tenders website (2). During this time GovDC and the supplier will discuss the arrangement and services that would be supplied. 3. Service Catalogue Registration on the ICT Service Scheme allows suppliers to list their services on the NSWBuy Service Catalogue Data Centre capacity agreed When the sub-licence is signed suppliers are able to agree capacity in the GovDC Data Halls. Suppliers don t have to deploy their equipment at this stage. 5. Marketing / Sales Once the Sub-licence agreement is signed the supplier can begin advertising that they are able to provide services through GovDC facilities. 5. Marketing / Sales 6. Supplier deployment An agency agrees to consume a service from the supplier. At this stage the supplier can use a just-in-time deployment of equipment in the data centre. 6 Onboarding to Services Backbone Physical Onboarding Logical Onboarding Service Specific Onboarding Onboarding to the Services Backbone enables suppliers to participate in the Marketplace and agencies to consume the services they provide through the Marketplace. GovDC provides design and onboarding documentation which describe the processes and configuration required to connect to the Services Backbone. During Physical Onboarding basic connectivity to the copper and fibre backbone is completed. During Logical Onboarding network provisioning and configuration is carried out. In Service Specific Onboarding additional connectivity required by specific services is completed. Supplier specifics Onboarding to the Services Backbone is a mandatory element of the sub-license agreement between a supplier and GovDC, and will be carried out as part of implementation in GovDC Supplier connectivity out of GovDC must be via the Backbone Suppliers request access through GovDC Service Desk Agency specifics Agency onboarding to the Backbone can be just in time prior to ordering a first service from the service catalogue Proactive completion of physical and logical onboarding in advance of this is recommended to minimise provisioning steps for first service 12 (1) (2)

13 Marketplace operation The Marketplace platform supports existing agency sourcing and purchasing strategies and provides a path to automated provisioning of services Agency identifies a need Search or browse the Service Catalogue (1) to see if an arrangement is in place Searching for data centre and marketplace will locate the services and suppliers available. Find service type and suppliers If a specific service is unavailable as a purchasable item, supplier contact details are found. Source The Marketplace supports existing sourcing mechanisms for larger scale investments, including global and agency specific policies. Approaches supported cover a range of market engagement methods including: 1. Supplier arrangement (Sub-licence) 2. Schemes (ICT Services Scheme) 3. EOI, RFT, RFQ 4. Open tender (etenders) 13 Catalogue features Browse and search for any good or service Online procurable line items Search results vary according to service type and scale including: Good or service information Supplier engagement user guide How to purchase guides Contract order forms (Procure IT) Custom catalogues per agency/supplier Various levels of supplier integration including: direct manual access to supplier catalogue, automated / integrated ordering, notification, brochure / display details only, electronic document exchange, Purchase Orders Nightly upload of new services, available following day Find specific service Existing catalogue items purchasable through online catalogue. Agencies are able to compare services and prices Guidance provided via links to policy and purchasing guidelines available in ProcurePoint (2) (1) Catalogue purchase According to service type, typical methods for purchasing products and services through ERP or eprocurement systems are available. Agencies will in all cases complete a customer contract order form (ProcureIT, ICT Services Scheme) Purchase Orders are then created via appropriate existing channels including: Manual contact with supplier Online purchasing via ecatalogues Direct access to supplier site Automated provisioning and ordering Where possible in the future, automated ordering and provisioning will be provided through supplier portals or ordering / management systems. This is likely to be for repeat orders against an existing purchase order. (2)

14 Key considerations The Marketplace supports Outsourced, as a Service and Cloud service provisioning models 14 as a Service as a Service is the distribution / consumption model for Cloud Computing. Such services are sold by subscription and run on third-party hardware. Shifting to as a Service requires a move from a Capex model to an Opex model. as a Service in GovDC specific context In the GovDC environment all as a Service suppliers infrastructure has to be located within GovDC and services are then ordered by agencies or suppliers through the Service Catalogue. as a Service models available through the marketplace: Software as a Service (SaaS): The consumer uses a provider s applications running on cloud infrastructure. These applications are accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface or a program interface. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying infrastructure, with the possible exception of limited user specific application configuration settings. Platform as a Service (PaaS): The consumer deploys onto the cloud infrastructure, consumer created or acquired applications supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, but has control over the deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application-hosting environment. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): The consumer provisions processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources, where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g. host firewalls). Data Centre as a Service (DCaaS): GovDC also provides DCaaS to all tenants. This offering packages, in a single per kw charge, a range of data centre components which may typically be procured separately. These components include: asset management, network services, build rooms, car parking, security services, in addition to physical, mechanical and utility components. The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing: Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Characteristics of Cloud Computing On-demand self-service: A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider. Resource pooling: Computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. Rapid elasticity: Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time. Measured service: Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service. Outsourced Outsourced services transfer management of an agency s ICT infrastructure capabilities to a third party service provider. Ownership of the infrastructure itself may also be transferred to the provider or remain with the agency. Outsourced services can be provided by infrastructure providers or providers who offer IT services only. In an Outsourced arrangement the suppliers act as agents for organisations who do not wish to have responsibility in-house for constantly upgrading and maintaining their IT systems. The suppliers manage and integrate a range of activities associated with the client s enterprise networks and IT systems. Moving to an outsourced model may provide agencies with stronger financial management of their data centre expenditures as the pricing model is more transparent.

15 Key considerations The GovDC marketplace supports a range of services provisioning models and allows agencies to develop a composite ICT environment Increasing levels of abstraction from physical resources through progression up the virtualisation maturity spectrum allows agencies to focus on higher level activities over low level technical management. Agencies are able to consume ICT infrastructure as services in a composite arrangement of their own design. Mixing the range of services and consumption models allows agencies to reach a design that best supports their environment. Hardware as a Service In a hosting model an agency s level of abstraction from the physical hardware that is providing their data centre environment is low. The service provider is responsible for operating the agency s infrastructure on their behalf. In a hosting model, the agency or service provider may own the physical hardware, it will likely be dedicated to a particular use by the agency. This model provides response time and security certainty but offers no consolidation benefit. Hardware Infrastructure & Platform as a Service In a virtualised model an agency s level of abstraction from the physical hardware that is running their data centre environment has grown. The agency is purchasing virtual machines, operating system instances, data bases or data storage which runs on non-agency hardware that is in effect unknown to the agency. The agency has the benefits of a pay-as-yougo model as they are consuming their ICT services as a Service. The agency will benefit from the elasticity and flexibility that this environment can support. Virtual resources Hardware Software as a Service If purchasing Software as a Service an agency s abstraction from the physical hardware that their systems are operating on is maximised. The agency has organised to consume their data centre environment based on Service Level Agreements with no reference to supporting infrastructure. This enables the environment and its associated costs to match the agency s demand. As demand increases the service provider operated infrastructure can seamlessly scale up and down in order to meet the agreed SLA. SaaS Virtual resources Hardware 15

16 Key considerations Agency Commercial and Operational impacts Agency transition to a multi-sourced cloud ecosystem across all of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS is not a trivial journey, with a range of operational and financial impacts to achieve intended benefits. For example, agencies should maintain a conversation with their CFO around the shift from Capex to Opex and should look to develop business cases to support the organisational shift. Cost-benefit Total cost of ownership Funding Cost-benefit assessment Asset impact Information management Statutory responsibilities Information classification Community expectations Vision and mission Technical considerations Connectivity Security Compatibility Environment Open standards Change management Business design Business proceses Key considerations for cloud migration Regulatory frameworks Security Access Storage Data Information Risk management Business continuity Information governance Privacy and security Licensing Impact an IT organisation s Principles Governance model Capability model Process model Skills and capabilities Workforce capability Contract terms Procurement requirements Key provisions Custody and ownership Exit strategy Security and access Organisational model 16 Key considerations from : NSW Government Cloud Services Policy and Guidelines - August 2013
