Hawaii Data Center Transition Update 22 May 2014
A Quick Refresher Current State Environment State IT assets spread across 27+ departmental and ICSD data centers on Oahu Permanent State Most State system housed in highly robust Tier 3 data center located away from likely disaster zones. Tactical Enhancements High Speed connectivity between DR Fortress, Systemmetrics, MRTC and Kalanimoku Judiciary Network Enhancements DOE Primary DC (Oahu) Secondary DC (Maui) Satellite DC s on NI s Kalanimoku Building Ready by July 2014 MAUI DR Fortress System Metrics MRTC Overflow Capacity for Kalanimoku and Dept DC s Relocating Network Hub The tactical moves provide some capacity and disaster recovery capabilities, affording minor risk mitigation until the permanent strategy can be implemented Building the Virtualized environment at Kalanimoku with disaster recovery capability at DR Fortress Contracting with the two island co-location facilities to provide overflow capacity in light of future system needs Refurbishing Maui Research Technology Center to use for rudimentary disaster recovery Enhance network connectivity with co-location providers and MRTC

Where are We Now? Real-Time Infrastructure We are here Sprawled Virtualized Automated Cloud- enabled Optimization Availability Workloads Data Resources Identities Provisioning Asset, power costs down, flexibility up Service levels and agility up
The GPC Project Plan - Crawl, Walk, Run Step 1: Build virtualized infrastructure at Kalanimoku (KB) as the primary location and establish back up capability at DR Fortress (DRF) Step 2: Begin migrating critical department workloads over to the virtual environment and alleviate risk of failures Step 3: Establish true Cloud services with self service, service catalog and chargebacks, Continue migrations and stand up of new VM s for departments Establish self-service capability Establish service catalog and chargebacks to departments DR Fortress will become primary location, with Maui becoming backup/redundant location Develop Service Management processes and SLA s Develop process for physical-to- virtual (P2V) and virtual-to-virtual (V2V) migrations Develop applications prioritization and Migration Plan Conduct Migrations Stand up new Windows 2012 & Redhat 6.x VMs as requested Establish some disaster recovery capability at DR Fortress Install IBM Flex architecture in KB & DRF - COMPLETE Conduct pilot migrations Stand up new Windows 2012 & Redhat 6.x VMs as requested - COMPLETE Begin department-by- department needs assessment for potential use of Cloud - STARTED April-June 2014 June-December 2014 2015 -
Departmental Outreach and Collaboration We ve already started meeting with Departments to identify initial requirements Step 1: email the OIMT Cloud Team and set up a meeting Step 2: Complete and send the Cloud Scope Capture Sheet Step 3: Meet with the Cloud Team and determine best approach for migrating workloads into the virtual environment Departments that have completed Requirements Meetings Public Safety Department of Human Resources Development Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center Attorney General Juvenile Justice Information System Attorney General Legal Services Division Governor s Office Agriculture Accounting & General Services Commerce & Consumer Affairs State Archives
