Central Data Centre -Overview
14
Central Data Centre Infrastructure

• The HQ will have state of the art Hardware to
  support the application infrastructure for DACNET
• The application domains are divided as follows
• Messaging Collaboration
• DACNET Intranet Portal
• Database Infrastructure for various
  Line-of-Business applications

15

• At the Central Data Centre the Hadware will be -
• Cluster Server - two nos.
• Server - three nos.
• The Software will be -
• Windows advanced 2000 server ( 7 Lic.) OLP
• SQL server Enterprise Edition (2 lic.) OLP
• MS Exchange Server 2000 Enterprise Edition
• Visio 2002 Enterprise Edition
• Biz Talk Server 2001 Enterprise (1 proc. Lic.)
  OLP
• Commerce Server 2000 (1 proc. Lic.) OLP
• MS SharePoint Portal Server 2001 Enterprise
  Edition
• Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Architecture
• Trend Micro ( Email antivirus on Win 2k Advanced
  Server)

16
Messaging Collaboration

• Based on Microsoft Clustering Technologies in
  Windows 2000
• Exchange Server 2000 will be hosted in a
  clustered environment to provide a highly
  available Messaging environment to the entire
  DACNET users across India.
• Apart from Messaging, a number of workflow
  applications based on Exchange 2000 are also
  planned
• The critical nature of this application requires
  the clustering solution for maximum uptime

17
DACNET Intranet Portal

• To percolate information across the entire
  organisation it is important to have a
  organisational portal
• Another requirement for this portal is to ensure
  that the efforts are directed towards content
  generation rather than application generation for
  the portal itself
• Sharepoint portal server provides a framework to
  quickly implement a intranet portal solution
• The intranet portal is a critical application and
  has therefore been planned on 2 servers, to
  achieve high availability

18
Database driven Applications

• This is the life line of the entire DACNET
  project.
• It provides the infrastructure for building the
  line of business applications which will be
  utilised across all offices.
• The solution required has to meet a stringent
  criteria of not only being highly reliable but
  also have very high performance capabilities
• SQL Server 2000 has therefore been deployed in a
  clustered environment

19
E-Procurement Solution

• It has been planned to host a e-Procurement
  solution under the DACNET project to show case
  the viability of IT in automating such
  transactional process
• Commerce Server 2002 Biztalk Server 2002 will
  be used to create the E-Procurement
  infrastructure.

20
BizTalk Server

• Cost effectively integrate applications within
  and between organizations
• B2BQuickly implement secure, reliable trading
  partner relationships over the Internet
• Business Process AutomationDefine and implement
  integrated business processes using B2B services

21
BizTalk Server Delivering on Web Services today
Create enterprise Web Services Address challenges
of state management, concurrency, data
normalization, transaction and exceptions
Expose existing applications as Web Services

XML Web Service with no application modifications
Aggregate services into business processes

Overall Directorate View
29
Directorate offices

• The Directorate office will have just enough
  infrastructure to continue working independently
  on key Line of business application even in the
  event of connectivity failure
• Since the infrastructure is exposed to the
  outside world, it was important to provide
  firewall protection at the Directorate level.
  This protection will also percolate to the Field
  unit level which will connect to each of their
  respective directorates using a modem

30

• At The Directorates, the Hardware will be -
• Server - One Number
• Client Configuration - Five Numbers
• On-Line UPS 2 Kva One Number
• UPS 700 VA Line-Interactive Five Numbers
• LAN ITEMS - one server and five clients need to
  be connected in LAN with the provision of LAN
  node in each room
• Deskjet Five Number

31
Directorate offices

• To achieve this minimum requirement the following
  infrastructure has been provided
• SQL Server 2000
• For maintaining their local copy of database
• To provide a framework for creating a local data
  warehouse at a later stage
• ISA Server 2000
• For protecting their internal infrastructure
  against unauthorised access
• For controlling their internal user access to the
  outside world
• To optimise bandwidth usage by their internal
  users
