Blurring device boundaries3

Blurring userboundaries1

Blurring application boundaries2

Cloud & Data Center Transformation is a key investment to solve the blurrin

boundary between what is Inside & Outside an enterprise


4/29



Three Cloud & Data Center Mega-TrendsEmerge as Part of These Blurring Boundaries

Pendulum swings from smart pipes to dumb pipes

Intelligence lives in virtualization software decoupled from the network hardware

Virtualization & management tools mitigate embedded intelligence

Debate of control vs. data vs. management plane

Redefining Network Intelligence

Data Center fabric = convergence of storage & server infrastructure

Network fabric = flattened, meshed (fewer ties, embedded functions) Next wave of investment will be on fabric across extended enterprise

Investing in Fabrics

Consumerization drives recreation wireless to primary connections

Mobile definition expands to include nomadic (Wi-Fi), mobile (3G), & remote

(branch office)

Security & policy enforcement are critical as the network is the last enterprisedemarcation point

Lessons Learned

Use consolidation as opportunity to evaluate cost & technical feasibility of transitioning Tier 1 &

applications to virtualized environment.

Federated Cloud Service (also known as a Community Open Cloud) one of most advantageousmodels for governmental agencies, as costs can be spread across multiple agencies.

Strategy & Roadmap (S&R) approach has proven to be effective methodology to determine how

best consume cloud services.

Develop requirements & Use Cases as part of the S&R process. These same requirements & Us

Cases should be used to develop RFPs for Cloud Services.

Create transitional model that identifies applications to be moved & dependencies. Mitigate ribeginning transition with Tier 2 & 3 applicationssave the Mission Critical Applications for last.

Address model that you will use to facilitate orchestration, federation, provisioning & managem

(OFPM Model) of Private Cloud Solutions early in the process.

Clearly define interfaces for integration of your OFPM Model into your Private Cloud Service.

Consolidation & virtualization often breaks existing Management, Data Loss Protection & Audit

& Governance models.

Storage as a Service Use Case Federal GovernmentData Archiving

22

API Enablers known

for Archiving Capabilities:

Problem High cost of storing data on expensive NAS and SANstorage platforms after the data ages and as a result

is infrequently used

Alternate in house tape or long term stored disk

solutions do not provide the ability to retrieve data

in a timely manner if it is needed later

Cause Growing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to storeaged data and retrieve it when required

Keeping up with storage growth for legal

compliance

Solution Aligns data storage costs more precisely withgrowth while providing unlimited storage expansion

Moves less frequently utilized data to lower cost

storage solution

Lowers TCO and improves the ROI

Optimizes the existing assets and budget

Benefit Integrates with existing archival tools via meta dataProtects and secures data offsite in one or more

AT&T facilities using storage policies.

Serves as a low cost medium for low value data

while still maintaining operational and legal

compliance

Compute as a Service Use Case Federal GovernmenDevelopment and Testing

Problem Customers spend excessive amounts of capital andoperational expenses on computing capacity that is used

for testing and development work Testing capacity goes idle once testing is complete.

Typically there is more idle time than used time.

Often multiple organizations need to test but cannot or

are unaware of how to share internal testing equipment

so expenses are duplicated many times over.

Cause Test equipment is required, but until cloud the onlysolution customers had was to allocate budget to the

purchase of equipment specifically set aside for testing

of new applications

Solution Compute as a Service allows customer departments toturn up testing environments on demand at any time,

then turn them off when they are no longer needed.

Benefit Elimination of capital expenditures and operationalexpenses to support test equipment

Elimination of duplicated expenses by multiple

departments doing testing on intra department

equipment.

Storage as a Service Use Case Federal GovernmentData Backup Restore & Tape Replacement

24

API Enablers Known for Data Backup S

Problem Tape Storage can be complex and unpredictable Disk Storage in house can be an expensive solution when Total

Cost of Ownership (TCO) is considered

Retrieving data from tape during an emergency is time consumingand locating data on tape can be difficult and cumbersome

Tape storage and retrieval costs are growing

Cause Need for faster Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and RecoveryPoint Objectives (RPO) by agencies and organizations during an

emergency are accelerating while time to recover using tape

remains lengthy.

In house expenses for Tape or Disk solutions are growing

Damaged, misfiled, or lost physical Tapes or Disks make s some

data restoration impossible

Solution Protect s customer data from potential loss, meeting complianceand disaster recovery requirements at a lower total cost of

ownership

Data is backed up from applications, file servers, desktops, etc. to

Synaptic Storage instead of to disk or tapes stored with vaulting

companies

Benefit Offsite data protection, historical versioning, online access, fasterand automated retrieval

Integrates with existing backup infrastructure

Aligns usage of storage with expenses

Minimizes lost data due to media damage / errors Greatly speeds recovery time for stored data

Lowers Total Cost of Ownership for Solution

Compute as a Service Use Case Federal GovernmenDynamic Capacity Management

Problem Over building and excessive capital expenditures andoperational expenses to maintain Just in Case in house

computing capacity to serve peak hours per day, peakdays per week or peak weeks per month.

Underutilization of existing capacity due to less than 24

hour per day operations.

Cause Need to provide service during peak hours but duringnon-peak hours must pay power bills, maintenance staff,

and other expenses when capacity is not in use.

Solution Provides customers with additional On Demand Cloud

Computing Resources to augment their core capacity toincrease capacity only during the hours it is needed

during the day, week, month or year.

Benefit Accommodate unpredictable demand Minimizes capital expenditures

Eliminates over building and the excess operational

expenses associated with same.

Aligns costs with need

Compute as a Service Use Case Federal GovernmenDisaster Recovery - CooP

26

Problem Providing Completely Redundant Diverse systems forBackup locations in house doubles in-house costs

Failing to provide 100% backup creates huge liabilityand risk for any organization

In many cases lack of funds causes many environments

to go unprotected

Cause Lack of budget to build fully redundant in housesystems in diverse locations

Risk is tolerated or downplayed due to financial

limitations

Solution CaaS provides an on demand computing environment

that will permit customers to quickly (within minutes)

replicate their computing capacity at a moments

notice.

Benefit No monthly minimum for the service permits a very lowcost total backup solution at a location diverse from

clients primary In house Data Center

Compute as a Service Use Case Federal GovernmenBatch Processing

27

Problem Certain applications require a large amount of computingcapacity for a very short period of time, example for a

few hours or a few days per month.

Typically either customers overbuild for these

applications or suffer service degradation during times

when these applications are running or both.

Cause Business need to run certain batch applications requiresextra capacity at certain times of the month.

In house solutions require the customer to either have

the capacity on hand waiting to be used or borrow it

from production capacity when needed causing other

applications to be slowed in performance

Solution CaaS provides the customer with the ability to turn uptemporary computing capacity on demand, leave it

running for as long as it is needed and then turning it off

when no longer needed reducing costs.

Benefit Avoidance of capital expenditures and operationalexpenses due to overbuilding of in house solutions

Elimination of degraded service levels as new capacity

can be added at anytime

28/29



Problem Procurement creates even more red tape and adds complexity,lead time, and administrative and operational expenses.

Takes focus of IT staff away from high value strategic projects

and relegates them to IT custodial work

Delays financial benefit of new applications

Cause Impossible for departments - units to plan for projects andknow true computing needs

IT Partners cannot procure quickly enough and many times, do

not have it in the budget or have time to spend procuring,

implementing and managing in house solutions

Solution Provides on demand computing capacity that is pay as you goand scalable to meet the needs of specific projects and

applications within and across the entire organization

Benefit Departments - Units can find on demand computing capacityoutside of IT Partners

Application Developers only need capacity to run the

applicationsdont need to manage the devices after

application is developed

Depts. avoid lengthy procurement processes

Organizations can execute non-forecasted projects and meet

deadlines

IT and LOB can work together to ensure security and

Compute as a Service Use Case Federal GovernmenVirtual Private Cloud (VPC)

29

Problem Some applications cannot afford the risks associated withpurely Public Cloud Offers

Customers risk security breaches when piecing togetherservices from public cloud providers and network service

providers

Critical applications may not be well served from a

performance or security standpoint by utilizing the

internet as the only transport medium for connectivity

Cause Cloud Service providers that do not own, operate andcontrol the component parts of the network services that

connect to their cloud services

Use of public only cloud solutions

Solution AT&T provides cloud services as a feature of the IPbackbone network that AT&T owns, operates, and

controls.

AT&T provides AVPN services with layered security in the

cloud to provide logical separation in both the network

connections and within its cloud environment

Benefit Vastly Better layered security than public cloud offersalone can provide

Logical separation in every component part of the

connections and cloud services
