This document discusses consolidating USFK's SharePoint services onto a cloud platform to reduce costs and improve performance and security. It analyzes moving to either Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with Phase 2 International or Software as a Service (SaaS) with Microsoft SharePoint Online. Phase 2 IaaS is recommended to lower total cost of ownership while maintaining current services. Key requirements like security, availability and scalability must be defined in a Service Level Agreement to ensure needs are met.

- 1. SHAREPOINT CONSOLIDATIONCASE STUDYGROUP: CLOUD SHARE24 SEP 2010
- 2. Capability ChallengeReduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of setting up and maintaining USFK’s Sharepoint serversIncrease Security & Performance of Sharepoint services for customer baseHandle ALL ~35,000 warfighters, DoD Civilians, DoD Contractors, and local national employeesQuickly be able to scale up or down services based on needs of the customer
- 3. Proposed General SolutionBy utilizing cloud computing technologies and vendors, USFK can provide and enhance Sharepoint services to our customer populationCloud Computing affords the following capabilities:Lower computer costImproved performanceReduced software costsNo Hassle Software UpdatesIncreased storage capacityIncreased data reliability & AvailabilityProposal: USFK out-source Sharepoint Services to a cloud computing vendor
- 4. Cloud Computing Description What is cloud computing?A model for increasing performance & security by sharing a pool of resources managed by IT ProfessionalsResources are:Co-located – saving in # of datacenters & manpower needed to maintain & manageConsolidation savings -Operational Costs are significantly reduced (Power, Generators, Personnel, etc)Security is enhancedProfessionally managed by certified IT professionalsBottom Line: We can BUY better Information Technology more cheaply than maintaining it ourselves
- 5. Givens/AssumptionsMaintenance of USFK’s data center is in-efficient and not cost-effectiveDue to personnel rotations – training of administrators is constant and expensiveDiminished IT funding annuallyWe must constantly re-evaluate and reallocate our funds to meet our priorities
- 6. Key RequirementsSecurity - Must comply with all DoD security requirementsPerformance - Sharepoint services must be the same or better than we currently experienceAvailability - Sharepoint services must be available at all times, and accessible everywhere on any capable deviceScalability - Must be able to service the entire warfighter population as needed.Costs - Total Cost of Ownership must be significantly less than current costsStorage - Must support the data storage requirements of the warfighter populationData Backup - Must be able to restore Sharepoint services within 24 hours of a failure with minimal data lossData Location - Data must reside within the United States to ensure data is never comprised by the laws of other countries Data Connection Redundancy – Must be able to switch to alternative circuits in event of outagesCAC Login – Vendor must be able to support existing CAC infrastructure
- 7. Current StateUSFK maintains a number of Sharepoint servers ourselves.Servers must be patched, scanned, managed internallyHardware/software acquired internallyInfrastructure and operational costs borne internally (UPSs, Generators, Electricity, etc)Personnel are required to perform and monitor all aspects of server maintenance.
- 8. Solution 1 – Phase 2 InternationalPhase 2 International offers Infrastructure as A Service (IaaS)Cost: ~$450 per server per month (~$12,000 annually)Software license, hardware, and operational costs borne by the vendorUtilize the Cloud Virtualization & “OS” TiersControl over Sharepoint settings retained by USFK. Phase 2 Data Data Centerhttp://www.phase2.com/data-center-photos.aspx
- 9. Solution 2 – Microsoft Sharepoint OnlineUtilize Microsoft’s Software as A Service (SaaS)Utilize all 4 tiers of the cloud computing reference model. (Virtualization, “OS”, Platform, and Software)Maintenance of all aspects by MicrosoftLeast amount of maintenance by USFKCost: Annual cost as calculated with volume discount $1.675 million
- 11. SCOPE Analysis
- 13. RecommendationSolution 1Outsource Share Point Service to Phase 2 InternationalCost savings
- 14. Quality services
- 15. Access to specialized skills
- 17. Staffing Issues
- 18. Risk Mitigation
- 20. ScalabiltySLA – Service Level AgreementService Level ObjectivesEnsure key elements of the Service Level Agreement between the Service Provider and USFK are outlined as to avoid disputes between the two parties. SLOs can be used to measure and compare the performance of different Service Providers to select the best Provider.Obligations (Provider)Provide must maintain GSA Certification.Meet or exceed security performance and storage requirements.PartiesIdentify third party service monitor to ensure both parties comply with SLA.
- 21. SLA Parameters (Metrics)SLA Requirements and Cloud Delivery ModelsRequirementInfrastructure as a ServiceData EncryptionPrivacy Date Retention and DeletionHardware Erasure and Destruction Regulatory Compliance TransparencyCertification Terminology for Key Performance IndicatorsMetricsAuditability MonitoringMachine Readable SLAs
- 22. Conclusions & Proposed StrategySignificant cost savings can be achieved while maintaining our current Sharepoint ServicesKey to success will be a properly defined Service Level Agreement that clearly encompasses all requirements and obligationsPath ForwardIf approved, begin contacting vendors for pricing and capability briefsDraft an acceptable SLAImplement a transition plan

- 26. Self-service
- 27. Quick Provisioning, especially infrastructure
- 29. Pay-as-you-go
- 30. A term used to describe delivery of the following services
- 31. Infrastructure
- 32. Platform
- 33. Software
- 34. Is Not
- 35. Virtualization, while it may use virtualization
- 37. A Free Service
- 38. A replacement for software development or problem solving or business process analysis
- 40. Lower computer costs
- 44. Improved document format compatibility
- 51. Disadvantages
- 52. Requires a constant Internet connection
- 53. Doesn't work well with low-speed connections
- 54. Can be slow
- 55. Features might be limited
- 56. Stored data might not be secure
- 57. Stored data can be lostCloud ComputingQuestionsVertical: Our business process rely on particular application software (Share point). Time, effort, training invested into share point. Our Outlook (email) is related and shared in this platform. Our Active Directory (user list/GAL) is fully integrated into this product.
- 58. Cloud ComputingQuestionsShare point is a critical business process, yes it is differentiating.(Yes) The application is insulated from the business process and changes. Users can change, modify business process without administrator support.(Yes) Differentiation is IT based because it plays a critical role in share point setup and management and the process that are based on it.
- 59. Cloud ComputingQuestions(No) Hardware, Operating System and Applications are standard Commercial of the Shelf (COTS) which can be purchased on the open market.(No) Standard Hardware, Operating System and Application features are sufficient for requirements. No specializations are required. (No) None of the impediments listed are a problem for implementation and outsourcing of Share Point. PII and Secret information is not permitted or authorized for use in Share Point today.
- 60. Defining our solutionUse a public cloud to enable Korea based customers to use Share Point.Use Principles of Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) to lower Total Cost Ownership (TCO) and increase performance, reliability and security.
- 61. Use Case ScenarioEnd user to Cloud: Application and user Data exist in the cloud. Access by the end user using an open CAC client browser.Enterprise to cloud to end user:
