Navy Enterprise IT

Abstract

The NGEN-R Service Portfolio represents a flexible and agile IT approach, using an architecture and service strategy aligned with commercial best practices. The new service delivery approach features diverse sourcing, leveraging of cloud/web-scale infrastructure and software-defined flexibility, which the Navy will seek to take advantage of in the EUHW and SMIT contracts. In FY 2022, NEN will implement a technical enterprise architecture that replaces obsolete technologies associated with NMCI and ONE-Net platforms, integrate rationalized users and services, implement enabling business processes and service management frameworks and provide guidance for future investment areas across all classification levels and operating environments. This includes network modeling & simulation, performance-based prototypes and applied research in future technologies affecting network architectures to advance the state of networks across all domains. Key objectives of the modernization approach include the broad implementation of these IT towers and services: 1. Network Management: IT Operation supports the delivery of fully integrated, interoperable, and secure networking platform for both CONUS & OCONUS. Develops and maintains business processes and incorporate innovative tools and applications in order to support the transformation into a digital business and a service delivery environment critical to maintaining a competitive advantage against arising global threats. 2. Enterprise Software Management: Management of IT core build and cloud software products and licensing agreements that are contractually negotiated in order to grant the end user the use and rights of the product needed to operate and execute the mission both ashore and afloat. 3. Cybersecurity: Employment of the full litany of technical cyber security controls both CONUS & OCONUS that ensure adherence to DoD mandated security controls for the Naval Enterprise Network. NetScout, ForeScout, Splunk & Verodin consists of a comprehensive cybersecurity framework of tools which provide protections for advanced endpoint asset management, enhanced network access control, malware detection, and the ability to respond to threats in near real-time that are used to support endpoint configuration baselines and compliance across thousands of endpoints. 4. Information Transport: Eradicates technical debt for unclassified transport boundaries that will increase port connectivity for users from 100M to 1G user ports, and from 1G to 10G bandwidth to Data Centers/Transport Boundaries. 5. Non-IT Infrastructure: Comprised of capital equipment that directly supports NEN's IT components and infrastructure throughout CONUS. This property is owned by the Navy, just as the NEN network is, and includes systems such as data center Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) and batteries, rack-mounted UPSs and batteries, emergency power generating equipment including fossil fuel tanks, and Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) systems. 6. Cloud Services: Cloud-based software-as-as-service (SaaS) offering that replaces on-premise e-mail infrastructure and additionally offers capabilities like Teams, Skype, and SharePoint Online. 7. Transformation: The current infrastructure is aged and modernization is essential to improve storage capabilities to accommodate new emerging workforce requirements, maintain network performance, architecture/solution accreditations, and network security. A significant amount of those assets have reached end-of-life and are no longer supported by the vendors, which makes the infrastructure vulnerable to external cyber-attacks; and diminishes enterprise solutions performance and optimization.
