Joint Information Environment The Way Ahead

Joint Information Environment What is it, anyways!? Shared IT infrastructure Enterprise services Single Security Architecture

JIE is NOT a Program of Record JIE is NOT a turn-key solution JIE is NOT an independent “way of doing things” Uses existing architectures and services

JIE Core Principles – the BIG Rocks Joint Governance “IT Task Force” Network Normalization Standardization Data Center Consolidation Reduced IT Footprint Identity and Access Management Trusted authentication Enterprise Services Email, collaboration, file storage, etc. FIRST PROBLEM: GET BUY IN FROM THE AOR IT EXPERTS

JIE – What are we trying to achieve? Improved Mission Effectiveness/Operational Flexibility AGILE Includes mobile, deployed Works in Disconnected, Intermittent and Low Bandwidth Increased Cyber Security Confidentiality, integrity and availability Works with ALL Mission Partners IT Efficiencies/Joint Information Services Interoperable Maximum performance, reliability and extensibility

JIE’s Three Lines of Operation Governance Operations Technical Synchronization

JIE Relationships

Enterprise Operations Center JIE Increment I EUCOM Builds on existing network consolidation efforts Heavily reliant on cloud architectures Move Massive Application Silo’s to more flexible, responsive infrastructure Enterprise Operations Center Stuttgart, Germany

JIE Increment 2 - PACOM

JIE Increment 2 - PACOM Coalition capability “built-in” and not “added-on” Common Mission Network Transport must support network security enclaves to accommodate many communities-of-interest to support user-to-user coalition connectivity A wide-area neutral network is needed to connect the networks of sovereign nations Robust identity authentication and authorization management for each nation to maintain trust in the system http://www.afcea.org/events/asiapacific/13/documents/JIE-Coalition-CIESLAK-131205Bv2.pdf

Discretionary Information Sharing Trusted personnel Identification and authorization service Agile virtual enclaves Information conditioning Strength of separation required http://www.referentia.com/ace/index.html

JIE Challenges Multiple Enterprises Multiple Data Types Military Services, Intelligence Community, Agencies, CCDRS Multiple Partners, Allies, Coalitions, States, NGAs, OGAs, PVOs, etc. Multiple Data Types Public, Releasable, Private, Controlled, and Classified Information Austere Connectivity Over Very Large Distances Not just robust high-capacity public infrastructure Mobile Forces & People Huge Populations & Communities Partners with varying levels of trust

Upcoming JIE Event JIE Mission Partner Symposium 2014 at the Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore, Maryland from May 12 to May 14, 2014.

Jesse Adams Chief Architect – US NAVY NGEN/NMCI, HP Enterprise Services Jesse has been with HP (EDS) since 2007. Jesse started as a Solutions Architect on the NMCI account, then became HP’s Chief Architect for the account in early 2010. Responsible for working with the Echelon II commands to understand their objectives and help shape strategies. He joins us from the Dallas Fort Worth area.

JIE Challenges under NGEN Not a Program – perceived as an “unfunded mandate” Program Office may pick-and-choose elements of JIE to be adopted LPTA Limits Innovation Technology Refresh and Insertion Program will be largely responsible for moving existing designs into compliance with JIE, extending timeline for adoption over several years. “Not Designed Here” Syndrome Must minimize the “drift” likely to occur from differing opinions on how to apply JIE

JIE Opportunities under NGEN Adoption of SSA will help mitigate ever-increasing circuit strains The introduction of the SSA at primary site boundaries will enable NMCI to stand down their Boundary 1’s, which are overloaded today largely due to media-rich Internet traffic. On average, up to 90% of Internet traffic crossing the NMCI Boundary 1’s is MWR-related. By facilitating Internet access closer to the users, the volume of traffic can be distributed across more points, reducing its impact on any individual WAN circuit.

JIE Opportunities under NGEN Server Farm Consolidation revisited Move from a simple fork-lift approach to a modernization / transformation strategy Consolidate to standardized platforms Maximize virtualization for greatest service density Move to a common reference architecture – potentially enable seamless migration of services between various data centers to meet evolving mission requirements. Introduction of “XaaS” Technologies reviewed/revised to better enable “confederation” of services and data, in order to better position them to best support the users.
