EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: NETWORK STRATEGY FOR 2011-2015
Mission: Maintain IBM’s global network as a foundational element of a Globally Integrated Enterprise. Enhance alignment with global strategic
data centers and meet access requirements of a global workforce as well as partners, suppliers, and customers. Respond to increasingly
sophisticated security threats while reducing overall security costs.

network virtualization as a part of the replacement of End of Life
LAN equipment.
Upgrade Wireless LAN for greater capacity, addition of
802.11n, and migrate to controller-based technologies for
enhanced security, reliability, and capacity.
Deploy IPv6 to meet industry requirements for
customer/partner access and product support.
Deploy WAN Acceleration technology to improve performance
and reduce demand growth.
Terabytes of traffic per month
Top Metrics Describing the
End State
• LAN hardware refreshed in
the core, server, and wireless
access areas for improved
capacity and stability
•WAN traffic grows to over
5000 Terabytes per month with
expanded coverage to meet
expansion into GMU
•Operational service levels

2.The network provides integrated security services as a
component in the enterprise security architecture through access
control, authentication, flow management, and malware prevention.
3. Network traffic growth will continue, driven by increases in
customers and employees, richer media, and the addition of smarter
devices to the network.

process integration with AT&T
4.Network service rates will continue to decline to partially offset growth
in demand, based on cost improvements in hardware/software
components as well as bandwidth.

Wireless Focus for Client Growth
Smartphones outpacing laptops for new purchases in consumer market
Enterprise Smartphone offerings being established to support secure access to
IBM applications and Internet - Notes Traveler (iNotes), Sametime Web, W3
250K Smartphone Offering users expected
Smartphones in IBM offices will naturally connect to the IBM WLAN first (instead
of cellular), if available
IBM Wireless enhancements in support of Client Growth...
Complete dual-band 802.11n coverage using newer Controller based technology

Dual-band for improved performance in mixed environments – 802.11b/g, 802.11a, 802.11n

802.11n for up to 300 Mbps throughput

Controller wireless for fast roaming, improved setting management and optimization

Automatic RF interference detection and adjustment

Increase IP address capacity

New site surveys for optimal WAP placement and settings

Internet Connect (wireless Internet hotspot) in conjunction with IBM Wireless

May require User Access layer upgrades for Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 1G WAP uplinks
Simplify Wireless / Improve Client Experience

Sunset B radio and WEP and WPA-TKIP encryption support

Migrate to digital certificates leveraging IBM internal certificate authority for client authentication
As market solutions mature, incorporate newer protocols and settings voice and real-time applications
