Army Data Center Consolidation Plan

(ADCCP) Overview

COL Chris E. Miller

MARCH 27-29

Tucson, AZ

Engagement Theater Session IV 28 March 2012/1600 hrs

Purpose

To provide background on data center

consolidation and the path which the Army is taking

to meet Presidential Guidance and the Office of

Management Budget’s Federal Data

Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) while

recognizing and adapting to processing realities in

the field.

The Technology Dilemma

5 March 2012 3

We have to be better at being able to reach out, harness technology

and get it into the hands of our soldiers quickly.

– GEN Peter W. Chiarelli, Former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army

Modernizing Army Systems

“the Army’s sweeping network modernization

effort, its number one priority in modernization,

will require a

fundamental cultural change

”

Chief Information Officer

CIO/G-6, LTG Susan S. Lawrence

• Focusing on the End State

• Executive and Congressional Interest

• The Way Forward:

– Data Center Consolidation

– Application Rationalization

• Summary

(6)

Why Consolidate Our Data Centers?

 Subject: Disposing of Unneeded Federal Real

Estate – Increasing Sales Proceeds, Cutting

Operation Costs, and Improving Energy Efficiency

 “…in order to address the growth of data centers

across the Federal Government, agencies shall

immediately adopt a policy against expanding data centers beyond current levels, and shall develop plans to consolidate and significantly reduce data centers within 5 years.

 Agencies shall submit their plans to OMB for

review by August 30, 2010.”

“…Stop Expanding Data

Centers…”

Presidential Memo – 10 June 2010

Congressional Interest

• Limitations on Obligations of Funds (FY2012 NDAA Language)

• During the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and ending on May 1, 2012, a department, agency, or component of the Department of Defense may not obligate funds for a data server farm or data center unless approved by the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense or the Chief Information Officer of a component of the Department to whom the Chief Information Officer of the Department has specifically delegated such approval authority.

• After May 1, 2012, a department, agency, or component of the Department may not obligate funds for a data center, or any information systems technology used therein, unless that obligation is in accordance with DOD wide performance plan required by the Act.

• Approvals for funding • Prior to May 1, 2012

• An approval of the obligation of funds may not be granted unless the official granting the approval determines, in writing, that existing resources of the agency, component, or element concerned cannot affordably or practically be used or modified to meet the requirements to be met through the obligation of funds.

• After May 1, 2012

• An approval of the obligation of funds may not be granted unless the official granting the approval determines that:

(1) existing resources of the Department do not meet the operation requirements to be met through the obligation of funds; and (2) the proposed obligation is in accordance with the performance standards and measures established by the Chief Information Officer of the Department in the DOD Performance Plans.

• Reports of Approvals

• Not later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Chief Information Officer of a component of the Department who grants an approval based on the authority delegated by the Chief Information office of the Department during such calendar quarter shall submit to the Chief Information Officer of the Department a report on the approval or approvals so granted during such calendar quarter.

The Magnitude of the Problem

• Over 435 Army data centers:

– Occupying more than 1.2 million square feet of floor

space.

– Containing over 26,000 servers.

– Housing almost 9,000 racks (which, if placed side by

side, would reach over 4 miles)

• Over 10,500 application records.

• And we know we don’t know everything yet!

The Installation Approach

• To meet the Army's goal of 185 data center closures by FY2015, the

CIO/G-6, NETCOM/9th_{SC (A) and 7}th_{SC (T) have recommended taking an}

Installation Approach.

• The Installation Approach uses the Center of Excellence (CoE) Discovery teams more effectively by having them discover existing data center

information including; capacity, facility, storage, network, and application level data on an installation concurrently, allowing commands to make more informed decisions to support a

simultaneous, rapid collapse of the data centers on an installation. • The Installation approach is not meant to move away from the

command plans that were briefed at the ADCCP Summit in December 2011, or slow the pace of scheduled closures, but a means for our

organizations to work together to best utilize resources and further the goals of data center consolidation.

(11)

Installation Approach Discovery Goals

• Facility Infrastructure

• Utilized and Available Capacities

• Network and Storage Capacities

• Application level data

• Other Data Centers identified

(12)

Pre-Site Visit Prerequisites

12

To be completed prior to Site Visit, Center of

Excellence will coordinate with onsite POCs:

• High-level Installation Network Diagrams

• High-level individual data centers Network Diagrams

• Routers, switches and Firewalls Access Control Lists

(ACL)

• Existing List of Network Management Systems(NMS)

• Review of current DISA topology

(13)

Onsite Discovery Activities

• Conduct Onsite In-Brief

• Representatives of all Commands with Data Centers on the

Installation, Data Center Owners, IMCOM, DPW, Garrison Commander, HQDA CIO/G-6, and NETCOM

• Manual Data Collection (2 weeks)

• Physical Discovery Data

– Facility Condition, HVAC, Power, Cable Infrastructure, Floor/Rack Space, Network Connections, COOP, Physical Security,

Environmental Factors, Technical support availability, Network traffic flows, Virtualization Services

• High Level Application Data:

– Functional Description, Technical High-Level Description, Storage Allocation, Ports and Protocols, High-Level Network Topology

(14)

Onsite Discovery Activities (cont’d)

14

• Conduct Preliminary Analysis (1 week)

– Validation of tracking tool data

– Work with on-site experts to capture additional information required to support a recommendation for Installation Data Center Consolidation – Identification of constraints/limitations with existing infrastructure – Development of potential courses of action

• Conduct Onsite Out-Brief

– Representatives of all Commands with Data Centers on the Installation, Data Center Owners, IMCOM, DPW, Garrison Commander, HQDA CIO/G-6, and NETCOM

– Will include a “recommendation” for Installation Data Center Consolidation
