PSN4YR Enables Access to:

PSN– Network of networks

– Open marketplace

– Voice and data

– All public sector

– Connect and share

– Collaborative procurement

Applications Store– Object Technology

– Fragments and Mash Ups

Cloud/G Cloud– Cost savings

– Speed of provision

– Efficiency

– Quality

– Sustainability

Data Centre– Reduce numbers

– Green IT

Cloud types

• Private Compute Utility: infrastructure physically

dedicated to one organisation.

• Private Community Cloud: infrastructure

dedicated to a specific community with shared concerns

(such as G Cloud)

• Public Cloud: infrastructure available to the general

public / businesses, mega scale without physical

partitioning of resource allocations

• Hybrid Cloud: A combination of public and private

utilities

Cloud Characteristics

• On-demand self-service. provision computing capabilities -server and storage, automatically

• Broad network access. available over the network through standard mechanisms (e.g., desktops, mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs).

• Resource pooling. computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned.

• Location independence no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources - storage, processing, memory, network bandwidth, and virtual machines.

• Rapid elasticity. rapid and elastic provision to quickly scale out and in. Capabilities virtually unlimited and can be purchased in any quantity at any time.

• Measured Service. Automatically control and optimize resource, pay for usage.

G Cloud Benefits• Cost

– pay only for use

– ‘Opex’ not ‘Capex’

– Standardisation reduces cost

• Speed– Shorter provisioning and procurement time

• Efficiency– Developments and Test can be temporary (70% reduction)

– One off tasks

– Peaks

– Optimisation with virtualisation and multi-tenancy

• Quality– Frees resources

– Better architecture and Agile

• Sustainability– Greener

Applications Store

“Find it, Build it, Share it, Run it”

“enabling faster, more cost effective, and

consistent certified solutions to business

challenges through reusing and sharing

applications and service”

– Object technology

– Fragments/Mash Ups

– Fragments/Mash Ups

Data Centres

• Rationalization 150+ to around 12

• Interim to cloud based strategy

• Legacy Systems

• Disaster recovery and Business Continuity

PSN4YR

• Creation of a Regional PSN compliant Network

• All Public Services• Local Authorities

• Health

• Police

• Third Sector etc.

• Replace GCSX connections

• Replace LA-N3

• Voice and Data Convergence

• Build on existing Infrastructure –Schools, JANET, Health, dark fibre etc.

PSN4YR Strategy

• Cashable savings and facilitation of shared services

• Joint Procurement of networks

• BPI and Transformation – cloud and/or shared data centres

• Savings in GCSX and N3 Connections

• Network line cost savings (HPSN2 – 10%)

• Regional network potentially replacing existing network support costs

PSN4YR Outcomes

• PSN compliant Regional network supplementing/eliminating local networks

• Build on and extend existing sub regional initiatives

• Access ‘G’ Cloud and Government Applications Store

• Increased take up of shared services

• Shared procurement

• Converged voice and data network
