2 2 How CCCS/BALANCE Has Evolved CCCS/BALANCE has come a long ways over the past few years. The first network architecture design lacked a central administration and security mechanism. CCCS/BALANCE then implemented a secure Windows infrastructure and expanded its server assets to accommodate business application requirements. That server infrastructure is now aging and due for replacement/retirement. A decision point has come as to whether to implement modern technologies like virtualization to reduce CapEx, overhaul its Line of Business application, implement targeted cloud deployments, leverage newer backup technologies, and migrate to a supported phone system with auto-dialer capabilities.

3 3 How CCCS/BALANCE Has Evolved 2001 First Engagement Ninety Windows 95 PCs A Single Linux Server No central administration 2002-Present Moved to Windows Server Infrastructure, 200 PCs Windows NT, then Windows 2003 then 2008R2 Central administrative control, endpoint lockdown

4 4 We won our first international awward JAN 2009 In 2006, moved from Win 95 to Win XP In 2011, completed upgrade to Windows 7 across the entire company Added Email Servers & Databases Locked Down Network Due to Auditing Requirements Current Environment Offsite Colo/Data Center in Sacramento Real Time Email Replication Data Sync Daily Database Sync Daily Remote Access in Case of Disaster

5 5 Reducing CapEx JUNE 1997 Virtualization Increase operational efficiency, server consolidation, reduce power/electrical costs Scalable, flexible Seamless business continuity options Reduces hardware expenditure costs Currently using older virtualization version for part of email system, TripWire (security) Cloud Key to business continuity and operations Leverage strategically to solve business challenge and operational inefficiencies Monthly operational expenses versus large CapEx Currently using cloud technologies through spam filter, BOX, DocuSign Backup Reliable, fast performing, vs. current hard drive Flexible recovery options, hourly versus daily Supports archiving policies, data retention

6 6 Productivity and Operational Efficiency JUNE 1997 Outsourcing to Intivix Increase value, capabilities, and depth of knowledge for IT spend Scalable operations, we can expand services as needs dictate Strategic consulting helps CCCS outpace competition, and leverage tech to achieve business objectives Knowledge of network eases transition Line of Business Apps Ensuring that Catalyst app is highly available, scalable, high performing Proactive management reduces downtime, rapid failover procedures Business continuity design
