This document discusses building a digital infrastructure and the partnership between business and technology. It describes the drivers behind the infrastructure as health, education, and local government networks. It outlines the goal of developing services for each sector that match their requirements using MPLS or physical networks. Finally, it discusses lessons learned, including the need for mutual understanding between all parties, flexibility in commercial models, accurately defining user requirements, and balancing costs, risks, and profits.
Network Infrastructure Virtualization Case StudyCisco Canada
This session focuses on a customer case study in which Network Virtualization has been deployed. The focus of this session is to cover the actual business requirements of the customer involved, how Network Virtualization met those requirements, the network design that was employed, and the benefits that were derived. Introducing the session will be a brief outline of Cisco's approach to Network Virtualization design methodology. The customer case study itself will focus on a Campus Network Virtualization deployment. Presenting this case study will be Dave Zacks, a Technical Solution Architect with Cisco Systems. Attendees at this session will learn about virtualized network deployments, and how these can be used to provide unique and compelling architectural solutions, addressing both business and technical requirements.

Michael Lawrey, Executive Director Architecture, Online & Media spoke to the Cloud Conference & Expo in Sydney on the importance of service level agreements and standards in Cloud Computing, particularly at an enterprise level.
Hadoop World 2011: Security Considerations for Hadoop Deployments - Jeremy Gl...Cloudera, Inc.
Security in a distributed environment is a growing concern for most industries. Few face security challenges like the Defense Community, who must balance complex security constraints with timeliness and accuracy. We propose to briefly discuss the security paradigms defined in DCID 6/3 by NSA for secure storage and access of data (the “Protection Level” system). In addition, we will describe the implications of each level on the Hadoop architecture and various patterns organizations can implement to meet these requirements within the Hadoop ecosystem. We conclude with our “wish list” of features essential to meet the federal security requirements.
What are the technology challenges? What are the new possibilities, applications, services or features that will empower mobile workers even more?
Experts on these subjects will cover several interesting topics: Mobile data, Device Management, Mobile Security and Mobile Enterprise Apps.

Monitoring Security Policies for Container and OpenStack CloudsPLUMgrid
Container and OpenStack clouds often co-exist in data centers. Monitoring both environments require views into the underlay and overlay infrastructure, but infrastructure monitoring alone is no longer sufficient and needs to be paired with security policy views as containers and microservices are constantly reshaping data center traffic and flow patterns. A visualization GUI that correlates containers and VMs with security policy views provide a powerful tool for any operations team to detect security flow violations in real-time. Enterprises and cloud providers are adopting visualization and monitoring platforms in addition to OpenStack Horizon to keep their infrastructure running with 100% uptime. New tools that help with proactive remediation of issues are being deployed to quickly bring back the system to healthy conditions.

8. Partnership
In a relationship governed by a taught legal contract keeping the
partnership model working is key to success.
Partnership
Get the model right
PSBA - Full Prime Contract
Can better align contract to value Welsh Sub-contractors
Assembly Logicalis
Partner or Supplier? End users
Aligned to both partners business needs
Understand the agreement fully
Picking the right sub-contractors
Dealing with the unknown
Risks sit with true owner
Known process to apportion cost/risk
Consistent approach – commercial &
technical
Business and Technology Working as One
9. Lessons Learned
The Partnership must be underpinned by a strong mutual understanding of
all parties issues
Get the issues on the table before the contract is signed
Build the commercial model to allow flexibility
We encountered “known unknowns” from day one
The users requirements will change
The available technology will change
The users data, predictions etc were wrong from the outset
Define the services users really want
Get the model aligned correctly commercially
Costs in the right place
Risks assigned to the correct owner
Profits and risks balance each other
If you want an innovative technical approach prefer a proven commercial model and
vice versa
