1. Costing The Private Cloud
Moving the current USAREUR user
data storage into the “Cloud”

2. Issues Effecting Present Day Users
Examples of User Data:
My Documents
Pictures Data Storage
MS Office Documents
PDF’s “Users”
PST’s

3. The “Private Cloud” = 10X
Improvements for 1000 servers
• Scalability
• Reliability
• Availability
• Economics
• Security

5. Scalability
• See Ease of Use
• Control your infrastructure with your app
• Nothing to purchase and take delivery on
• Instant

6. Reliability
• Based on enterprise grade hardware
• Design for failures:
▫ Automatically spin up replacements
▫ Use multiple clouds

7. Availability
• Access ANYTIME/ANYWHERE (24/7)
• Quick Processing Time
• Data Access
• Data Integrity

8. Economics

9. Security
• DISA “RACE”
▫ Within the DOD environment and meets all preset Security needs
▫ Production virtual servers may be ordered for RACE test servers that you
plan to promote to production, provided that these servers are on a
'Path-To-Production' and pass applicable Gold Disk/SRR and Retina
scans
• Amazon Web Services
– Amazon S3 provides a highly durable storage infrastructure designed for mission-critical and
primary data storage. Objects are redundantly stored on multiple devices across multiple
facilities in an Amazon S3 Region. To help ensure durability, Amazon S3 PUT and COPY
operations synchronously store your data across multiple facilities before returning
SUCCESS. Once stored, Amazon S3 maintains the durability of your objects by quickly
detecting and repairing any lost redundancy. Amazon S3 also regularly verifies the integrity
of data stored using checksums. If corruption is detected, it is repaired using redundant data.
In addition, Amazon S3 calculates checksums on all network traffic to detect corruption of
data packets when storing or retrieving data.

13. SLA
This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of the Simple Storage Service under the
terms of the services Customer Agreement between Web Services and users of the services . This SLA
applies separately to each account using data storage. Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is
subject to the terms of the Agreement and capitalized terms will have the meaning specified in the
Agreement. We reserve the right to change the terms of this SLA in accordance with the Agreement.
Service Commitment
SLA will use commercially reasonable efforts to make data storage available with a Monthly Uptime
Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.9% during any monthly billing cycle (the “Service
Commitment”). In the event the vendor does not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to
receive a Service Credit.
Definitions
“Error Rate” means: (i) the total number of internal server errors returned by vendors error status
“InternalError” or “ServiceUnavailable” divided by (ii) the total number of requests during that five
minute period. We will calculate the Error Rate for each account as a percentage for each five minute
period in the monthly billing cycle. The calculation of the number of internal server errors will not
include errors that arise directly or indirectly as a result of any of the vendor SLA Exclusions.
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the average of the Error Rates from
each five minute period in the monthly billing cycle.
A “Service Credit” is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible
vendor account.

16. Example : Proven Case Study
With infrastructure flexibility at the
foundation, US General Services Administration
has found both cost savings and capability
improvement with its new cloud platform.

17. Forecast
Changing our IT business model will take
a cultural change but outcome will:
• Dramatically reduce cost if we move to the cloud
• Timely access and implementation will increase
considerably
• Data access will become world wide and provided in real
time
• Increased Mobility
• Greatly increase scalability to current IT infrastructure

18. Recommendation
• Create Pilot User data storage private cloud with
20 users by fully migrating the user storage to a
private cloud provider
• Depending on the outcome, fully migrating the
HQUSAREUR data storage to the private cloud
