Joint Information Environment The Way Ahead
Joint Information EnvironmentWhat is it, anyways!? • Joint information environment • 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.
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 Increment IEUCOM • 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 • 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 • 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 AdamsChief 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.
Jerry BassCustomer Solutions Architect – CISCO Federal • Jerry has been with CISCO since 1999. • Primary focus is Air Force. • He is an expert in network security and information assurance. • He joins us from the Boston area.
