Service Management scenario 1 (2010) NATO UNCLASSIFIED 38

SATCOM NATO UNCLASSIFIED 47

Deployable CIS (DCIS) ● Based on NCI networking principles • Service catalogue • Qo. S control architecture • Service level management (central - stand-alone) ● Transportable - 5 days notice to move ● Configuration templates ● BC protected ● In support of NATO NRF (DJSE concept) • Large and very small nodes (ORLT) ● SATCOM reach back and in-theatre connectivity • Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4; NATO UNCLASSIFIED 48

Interface roadmap opportunity NATO UNCLASSIFIED 49

Guidance to nations ● Interfaces • SIOP 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ● Service catalogue • Definitions, KPI, KQI ● Service Performance targets • Reference circuits ● Management requirements • B-2 -B interface, Content, definitions ● Trust relationships • Protected Core Network (PCN) ● Policies and Concept of employment (Conemp) • Cost share, process ● Roadmap NATO UNCLASSIFIED 50

Conclusions • Service Oriented Approach • service definitions • Service delivery Points • Service Level Agreements • Service Level Management • Slow migration to IP-convergence • Limited support in IP-crypto - NINE ISPEC 2 • Limited NATO SLM • Limited Qo. S control • Push uniform & automated control • Qo. S enabled IP • SLM - SLA • MPLS NATO UNCLASSIFIED 51

Conclusions (cont'd) • Required developments • Cross security domain management • Guidance Package for nations about federation of communications ● Essential to build a trust relationship NATO UNCLASSIFIED 52
