Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS)

VPNS

AT&T Virtual Private Network Services (VPNS) allows customer agencies to easily interconnect their sites across metropolitan areas or around the globe. VPNS is an MPLS based architecture offering a wide range of connectivity options and features, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, Classes of Service (CoS), multicast, and interworking with Ethernet and IP networks. All infrastructure and devices involved in implementing the VPN are owned by AT&T and located at the edge of the AT&T backbone.

Ethernet

The Ethernet Transport Service (ETS) is the Layer 2 service offer that will connect customer agencies together at bandwidths scalable up to 10Gbps today, and higher speeds in the future, while also providing higher-layer protocol transparency. Offering the same flexibility over long distances that are enjoyed within an agency’s LAN, ETS will provide scalable Ethernet (i.e., Bandwidth-On-Demand) using the most current software-defined network technology.

Optical Wavelength Service

Agencies are provided protocol-transparent connectivity to their locations by use of the Optical Wavelength Service over Wave Division Multiplexing (OWS over WDM) service. AT&T has deployed long-haul WDM systems that support multiple concurrent SONET and Ethernet standards-compliant signals. This abundant system capacity enables agencies to benefit from competitively priced support of high-performance applications with rapid response to bandwidth demands, giving agencies unprecedented flexibility to handle large, unexpected traffic surges.

Private Line

Private Line Service (PLS) provides global, dedicated, and reliable connections between endpoints, and features a wide range of bandwidth options. Agencies can choose link speeds from 64Kbps to 10Gbps that provide Layer 1 transport to required solutions. The following PLS types are available with both customer-provided access as well as integrated access: DS0, DS1/3, SONET, and E1/3.

SONET

The AT&T Synchronous Optical Network Service (SONETS) is a self-healing optical fiber network service providing highly reliable, secure, and dedicated connectivity for agency voice, data, telemetry, video, or multimedia and encrypted communications.

Dark Fiber

Flexible and scalable, Dark Fiber Service (DFS) offers dedicated fiber transport, and flexible configuration capabilities. Dark fiber is an optical fiber infrastructure (cabling and repeaters) that enables agencies to design their own optical networks, connect their own electronics to provide transport on fiber strands, and modify their networks as needed. DFS provides physical strands of fiber plant between agency service delivery points (SDP) and may also be terminated to an AT&T colocation. DFS offers simple point-to-point connections between two locations as well as configurations that interconnect multiple locations and can include intermediate amplification or repeater locations to extend service reach.

Internet Protocol Service

Internet Protocol Service (IPS) uses the TCP/IP protocol suite to provide agencies with interconnection to public ISP networks and other Government networks across the public Internet. IPS provides agencies with a wide range of connectivity options that support IPv4/v6 to enable Government users to access to the Internet, Government-wide intranets and extranets.

IP Voice Service

Internet Protocol Voice Service (IPVS) offers complete and robust voice communications services to agencies over a secure managed IP/MPLS VPN. The IPVS network and services support both hosted and premises based IP call management systems, managed voice LAN services, as well as feature-rich SIP trunking services for interconnecting agency-owned call processing systems with the PSTN.

Circuit Switched Voice Service

AT&T Circuit Switched Voice Services (CSVS) supports voice calls, whether initiated from on-net or off-net locations, to be connected to all on-net and off-net locations by direct dialing throughout the U.S. CSVS encompasses both traditional local and long distance service, and enables users to call or receive calls from, any phone in the U.S. or the world. CSVS connects to and interoperates with a broad range of equipment including single-line telephones, secure terminal equipment, conference room audio equipment, modems, and facsimile machines.

Toll Free Service

This service supports both traditional and IP-based call center equipment using a single service infrastructure.

Circuit Switched Data Service

Circuit Switched Data Service (CSDS) provides agencies full duplex digital circuit switched interconnections using the AT&T ISDN data network. The service is capable of supporting on demand data calls using the appropriate terminal equipment such as ISDN video conferencing equipment or Group 4 Fax machines and can be connected via a digital PBX or I-Mux between the terminal equipment and the network. The service can be configured at a variety of data rates beginning with a single DS0 (56Kbps or 64Kbps), up to 24 DS0s.

AT&T’s Contact Center Service (CCS) provides reliable, highly secure, and flexible contact center systems and functions. A feature-rich portfolio delivers hosted or premises-based solutions, and can be fully managed, co-managed or outsourced. AT&T has been delivering CCS solutions to Government customers for more than 50 years.

Agencies will receive a reliable, secure, scalable, and globally available Colocated Hosting Service (CHS, and also referred to as Data Center Service), which offers space and power options within AT&T’s Internet Data Centers. Agencies subscribing to CHS will also have access to a high-availability IP-backbone network and an extensive hosting service portfolio.

Infrastructure as a Service

Using Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) as an extension of an advanced, highly secured network, agencies will be able to manage operating costs, protect information, and speed business processes with agile, innovative, and compliant cloud-based technology to support both on-site and off-site needs for infrastructure on demand. IaaS also includes several offerings for Private Cloud infrastructure as a service and Data Center Augmentation with Common IT Service Management (ITSM). Because a single cloud platform cannot suit the needs of all applications, the AT&T ecosystem, including the powerful AT&T network and its security services, offers IaaS connectivity to leading industry providers such as IBM Soft-Layer for applications at all levels of complexity.

Content Delivery Network Service

AT&T’s Content Delivery Network Service (CDNS) includes static content delivery, on-demand and real-time streaming, application acceleration, mobile optimization and security services, assisting agency web sites, eCommerce, software, and video portals to increase user satisfaction.

Platform as a Service

AT&T will create, deploy and manage a cloud-based Platform as a Service (PaaS), choosing from industry-leading cloud application providers to provide instant run times, portability, consistency, and control. The AT&T ecosystem of PaaS services provides a prebuilt runtime set of services that agencies’ application developers can use to build or deploy cloud-native applications without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. Developers can also deploy their cloud-native applications in their chosen provider to a responsive, resilient, multi-region PaaS, with support for popular runtimes and frameworks, automatic load balancing, and easy-to-use application scaling.

Software as a Service

Agencies will benefit from an AT&T Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that modernizes legacy IT systems and supports a modern, agile business model with faster, more resilient, and easier to maintain SaaS solutions. SaaS applications and tools for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) will allow agency users to collaborate and increase their productivity. In addition, AT&T services improve security inside the perimeter and to the application, either on site or in a cloud provider of choice, provided through cloud based big data analytics. These services will be available through our SaaS solution to agencies, as part of the AT&T cloud ecosystem.
