Secure Infrastructure as a Service for Production Workloads

THE CHALLENGE
Now more than ever, business and government are facing the challenge of balancing conflicting demands. Market pressures to become more agile and innovative must be addressed while conserving capital and lowering overall operational costs.

Today, solutions need to accelerate time to market and maintain the flexibility to adapt to uncertainty and rapid change while providing the scalability and reliability to deal with growth. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) addresses todays challenges by delivering compute, storage and network resources as a service. IT business as usual is no longer an option. It is not only the cost of power and space, personnel, management and maintenance that is driving the need for change. Organizations today must be able to react quickly to changing requirements and market dynamics. More virtualization alone is inadequate to meet todays challenges. Agile organizations require IT to deliver Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to accelerate cycle time, eliminate IT barriers to innovation, streamline operations and preserve capital. Accelerate Cycle Time. Scale IT resources on demand, and expand and contract resources as needed; react to market challenges, competition and opportunities more quickly. Innovate. Mitigate risks and improve return on investment for new business initiatives by eliminating the IT barriers and hurdles required for additional capital or resources. Align IT with Business. Reduce waste of under-used resources, and refocus IT staff on adding value to the organization instead of maintaining the infrastructure. Preserve Capital. Shift from a capital investment (capex) to an operating expense (opex) model for building and consuming IT services. The advantages of an IT as a Service delivery model are compelling, but security, reliability and integration have prevented many organizations from moving aggressively forward. Now business and government organizations can capture the advantages the cloud delivers with an IaaS solution that is built to securely support production workloads CSC CloudCompute.

THE CSC IaaS SOLUTION


CSC CloudCompute, a VMware vCloud Datacenter Service, is a pay-as-you-go service that delivers convenient, on-demand network access to a pool of compute, storage and network resources. It is designed and managed to support production workloads and mission-critical applications. CloudCompute combines leading technologies from VMware, VCE, Cisco and EMC with CSC Trusted Cloud Data Centers and CSC managed services and cybersecurity best practices honed from more than 50 years of experience in providing highly secure, highavailability infrastructure services to global commercial enterprises and government organizations. CloudCompute can be deployed off-premises from our CSC Trusted Cloud Data Centers by using leveraged, dedicated or physically segregated resources or can be deployed as a private cloud on your premises or at a facility of your choice. All deployment options are billed as a service with no capital investment required. The same hardware and software stack and a consistent management discipline across all cloud deployment models allow federated cloud operation and simplify the implementation and management of a hybrid cloud deployment model. It also ensures that workloads can be easily moved between cloud deployment models. As all CSC clouds are VMware vCloud compliant and recognized as VMware vCloud Datacenter Services, you also have the option to choose any other VMware vCloud Datacenter compliant solution as part of your federated cloud. CSC CloudCompute offers the security, backup, disaster recovery and high-availability options to support office productivity, line of business and enterprise applications. CSC CloudCompute provides the ability to select, for each application deployed, the tier of service support, storage tier and disaster recovery option that best matches the application requirements. You have the choice of four service levels, with availability guarantees from 99.0% to 99.95%, three options for storage enabling cost-effective support

With CSC management, we support you in building out your virtual environment, and then we run and maintain it for you providing patch management, software distribution, VM monitoring and threat protection. If you choose a high-availability service support level, you have three disaster recovery options to choose from with recovery point and recovery time objectives to meet your needs. From the CSC cloud portal you can access your enterprises cloud service catalog, from which servers can be rapidly configured, provisioned and decommissioned. With the portal you also gain visibility into your clouds usage and service performance for ongoing service management and charge back to your internal customers. CloudCompute provides choices to meet your application needs. Choices that will allow you to match each of your applications with the right cloud deployment, service level tier and management option. Choices that let you gain the greatest economies while meeting your requirements for availability, security, resiliency and portability.

RESILIENT ANd SECURE INfRASTRUCTURE


CloudCompute is built on the VCE Vblock platform, a powerful and fully integrated cloud fabric that combines the leading virtualization software from VMware; unified networking, security and management technologies from Cisco; and storage, security and management technologies from EMC. The VCE environment is enhanced with the VMware vCloud Director, vShield and vSphere products to secure the cloud end-to-end from the edge to the endpoint. Collectively, these technologies enable: Separation by encryption through a VPN for all traffic entering and leaving the CSC Trusted Cloud Use of VLAN within the cloud to separate and protect traffic and data Firewalls or virtual firewalls between organizations and between virtual applications in the organizations cloud environment Protection against network-based threats Network Intrusion Protection Active Directory integration for authentication and security policies Group and role-based access control (RBAC)

Audit and compliance with monitoring and reporting on all inbound and outbound communications Technologies alone however are not enough for a secure, resilient enterprise cloud environment. We combine leading, proven technologies with CSC processes and best practices developed and fine-tuned on the basis of more than 50 years of global managed service experience. Our CSC Trusted Cloud Controls Program consists of more than 148 controls covering areas such as compliance, data governance, facility security, risk management and information security. With our cloud infrastructure, each and every component that has the potential to affect service performance has a failover mechanism in place. For example, dual redundant power distribution units in the cloud rack ensure that a single individual power supply failure will not affect system availability. Many infrastructure components carry multiple power sources to enable failover to a secondary power support without affecting system availability or performance. Offsite, CSC CloudCompute is deployed from Tier 2 or Tier 3 access-controlled, fault-tolerant SSAE 16/SAS 70 Type II audited data centers and protected by our defense-indepth security framework, which delivers the physical and logical security, access control and data integrity options needed to support mission-critical customerfacing and back-office applications.

CloudCompute provides client data isolation and 24x7 incident response, virtual firewalls and network intrusion protection systems (NIPS) monitoring as standard features. Optional security services include antivirus, vulnerability scanning, host intrusion prevention systems (HIPS) and CSC Audit Log Assurance Service. CSC Audit Log Assurance supports companies obligated to comply with government mandates such as SarbanesOxley and the GrammLeachBliley Act (GLBA). This CSC service ensures that all vital network and system logs are centrally stored, correlated and analyzed by our team of security experts to increase our clients ability to track infrastructure resources across their entire enterprise. CSCs Cloud Trust Protocol (CTP) facilitates the transparency of services delivered from the cloud. With transparency into our cloud, CSC is able to mitigate concerns over the loss of visibility that typically occurs when applications and data move from a clients on-premisesbased solution into a public cloud. Examples of information shared by using the CTP include current configuration, data location, access rights and history, and event logs. The Global Security Alliance, chartered to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within cloud computing, integrated CSCs CTP as a pillar of its governance, risk and compliance (GRC) stack. Our commitment to full implementation of the CTP distinguishes us as a leader in conforming to Cloud Security Alliance standards.
