  • Results

Project Brief
3
Telecommunications Modernization Project
  • VA Strategic Plan Enabling Goal Objective E3
  • Implement a One-VA Information Technology
    Framework that supports the integration of
    information across business lines and provides a
    source of consistent, reliable, accurate and
    secure information to veterans and their
    families, employees and stakeholders.

5
Telecommunications Modernization Project
  • Improve network performance and reliability
  • Move to a service-based VA network
  • No significant interruption to VA operations
    during transition
  • Hold or decrease operational costs

Project Objectives
6
Telecommunications Modernization Project
  • A four-phased project to simplify and improve
    overall performance and fault tolerance of the
    wide area network
  • Phase I - The FTS vendor assumes responsibility
    for the core network
  • Phase II - The network is optimized based on
    defined service levels
  • Phase III - The core network becomes
    service-based versus circuit-base
  • Phase IV - The service-based network is extended
    as needed

Project Description
7
Telecommunications Modernization Project
  • VA
  • Technical authority, certification, and
    verification
  • Performance level specification and services
    definition
  • Operations oversight and direction by exception
  • Sprint
  • Design, implementation and operation
  • Infrastructure capitalization and technical
    refresh
  • Contingency response (using VA directed
    priorities)

Project Responsibilities

Prototype Managed NetworkServices Architecture
(Post Milestone I)
SPRINT Managed 6 Node Circuit Based ATM Backbone
10
Telecommunications Modernization Project
  • Proposed Service Level Agreements (Core)
  • Backbone protocol IP delivered to the WAN from
    VA major points of presence (POP)
  • 100-millisecond maximum round trip delay
  • .01 maximum packet error rate
  • .9996 minimum availability (down 17 min/month)

Optimized Managed NetworkServices Architecture
(Post Milestone II)
SPRINT Managed Circuit Based ATM Backbone
12
Core Performance BasedData Network
Architecture
(Post Milestone IIIa)
ONE VA Performance Based Backbone
13
Extended Performance BasedData Network
Architecture
(Post Milestone IIIb)
ONE VA Performance Based Backbone
14
Telecommunications Modernization Project
  • Improved, measurable network performance
  • Negligible cost impact
  • Technical definition for data transport across
    the core network will be transferred from VA to
    Sprint
  • VA will vote on matters of assured service
