Atos DDC Service - Documentation Structure
(THIS SLIDE TO APPEARS IN EVERY CORE DDC COMPONENT SERVICE PRESENTATION & DOCUMENT )
The Atos DDC service offering to customers is made up of
the DDC common service and the DDC component services.
The Digital DC Common Service describes the set of DDC
service modules and activities that are provided to each
customer, regardless of the options the customer selects
from the DDC common or DDC component services.
The Core DDC Component Services are all required for
Atos to provide a fully functioning DDC Service to the
customer. They are not sold individually or as standalone components. The customer may enhance the DDC
service features by selecting optional modules from the
Core DDC Component Services.

The Situation
Overview
The Situation

Benefits
Experience
▶ The traditional data center network approach is to physically implement an individual
networking solution for each customer with networking layers built, configured and
supported separately
▶ This rather static network configuration has some major drawbacks:
– Necessary modifications to an existing network configuration require a number of
‘manual’ or ‘semi-automatic’ adjustments in different layers of the network, e.g.
switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, QoS, ACL, VLAN
– Those adjustments are complex, time consuming, and error-prone, all of which leading
to increased operational costs
▶ Moreover, specialized and/or proprietary networking hardware
result in increased capital expenditure
▶ All in all, our customers’ IT departments are struggling to keep
up with business demand, such as
– Business Continuity
– Agility / Flexibility
– Profitability

Benefits
Experience
▶ Software Defined Networking is a new disruptive
technology offering relief for traditional network
shortcomings
▶ SDN will impact campus networks shortly after having
matured in the data center environment
▶ In SDN architecture the Control Plane is centralized and
decoupled from the forwarding Data Plane
▶ The Data Plane consists of plain, commodity network
devices that are used purely for IP packet forwarding
▶ The network’s intelligence is raised to the software-based
Control Plane providing a logical view of the overall
network and instructs the Data Plane via the Control Interface where to forward the data
▶ Through its software-based nature the Control Plane is capable of emulating Layer 2 to
Layer 7 network services (e.g. switching, routing, firewalling, load balancing, QoS, ACL,
VLAN). The characteristics of these network services are fully programmable and thus easy
and dynamically to administer via a centralized management interface. With SDN many
operational tasks can even be fully automated
▶ Time and effort for deployment or reconfiguration of a network in such a software-driven
environment is reduced significantly

Overview
The Situation
The Services
▶ With Virtual Data Center LAN Atos is one of the
first players in the market to adopt state-ofthe-art Software Defined Networking
technologies as part of a complete set of
Digital Data Center Services
▶ Virtualization principles, already known in the
Software-Defined Compute environments, are
applied to create virtual networks
▶ These virtual networks are decoupled and
independent of the underlying IP network
hardware and allow IT to treat the physical
network as a pool of transport capacity that can
be consumed and repurposed on demand
▶ Unlike legacy architectures, virtual networks
can be provisioned, changed, stored, deleted
and restored programmatically without
reconfiguring the underlying physical hardware
or topology

Virtual Network – Logical View:
▶ With network virtualization, the functional equivalent
of a “network hypervisor” reproduces the complete
set of Layer 2 to Layer 7 networking services in
software
Virtual Network – Physical View:
▶ The physical network is purely used as an IP
backplane with no active Layer 2 to Layer 7
networking services

in the Digital Data Center
set of services
▶ It comprises both
virtualization technology
as well as the physical
network connectivity
▶ Connection to core data
center networks and
basic load balancing is
included in the standard
service
▶ Advanced load balancing and connection to legacy networks are available as an
option
▶ Our offering covers planning, provisioning, implementation, configuration,
management, operation, maintenance, monitoring, and reporting

Benefits
Virtual Data Center LAN services provide some
significant benefits over traditional data center network
services such as:
▶ Improved overall data center agility through reduced
deployment times from weeks to days and reduced
change handling times from days to hours
▶ High reliability and availability through continuous
operation and failure containment technologies
▶ Reduction of costs through savings in CAPEX (less
hardware; commodity switches) and OPEX (fewer
items to manage in less time)
