Infrastructure as a Service Greg Patchell Deputy Secretary (MED)

What is Iaa. S? • A syndicated/common use project that is part • of the ICT Council “Foundations” initiative Will delivery a Panel from which agencies & entities can get access to : Data centre housing o Data centre co-location o Infrastructure as a Service virtualised offering o • Will provide the solution this calendar year

Drivers • All agencies use data rooms or data centres • Most agencies buy commodity data centre • • • equipment and services A number of agencies have virtualised their environments investing capital Few consume these commodities as services today Apart from legacy platforms most (all) plan to virtualise the data centre platforms All agencies face similar fiscal constraints There is nothing “special” or unique about data centre services Therefore do it once not ~200 times

Programme Focus • Provide a foundational solution for infrastructure that is universal to all agencies o Consciously avoiding agency specific issues to ensure there is no “barrier to entry” • Face the market with scale o Provide suppliers with material demand to allow them to leverage their balance sheets for the benefit of the Crown. • Establish a strategic platform & allow for tactical transition Target is to remove commodity assets from agency balance sheets completely and consume virtual computing as a service o Traditional housing option to allow transition o

Who is involved today? • Initial agencies - NZTA, Police, NZDF, DOC, • MSD, DIA, MED, IR, MAF, Edu, MFE, LINZ Actively engaged - Justice The scale? • ~3500 Virtual machines, ~1300 TBs of virtual • storage, ~200 housed racks and ~600 housed servers Specialist solution for “Secret” Category

What does success look like? • Currently committed agencies transition and as • • • appropriate virtualise their fleets Further agencies transition as their plans and asset lifecycles dictate At the end of the day a logical decision maker will take advantage of the “Iaa. S Panel” as there are no genuine reasons preventing them from doing so “There is nothing special about commodity infrastructure”
