20 VA Infrastructure Pilots Enclave Pilot Phase 1: Turn up in a secured, isolated, and monitored setting Phase 2: networking between secured enclaves Phase 3: networking with the open internet Pilot Initial focus on enabled SMTP traffic Limited MSFT Exchange deployment Lessons learned for enterprise mail upgrade Va.gov Pilot Leverage industry best practices Initial deployment of ipv6.va.gov Evaluate security and operational capabilities 20

21 Pilot Considerations for va.gov Approach Do we enable the existing site or replicate it? Do we do it in-house or use a cloud based service? Do we use va.gov or a specialized domain such as ipv6.va.gov for initial launch? Addressing Do we have addresses to use? Are they advertised? Can we allocate them? Should we get them from our ISP? Routing Are we routing (BGP) to the outside world? What routing protocols are we using internally? DNS Will our DNS support AAAA records? Will.gov support AAAA records? Is the Glue setup in.gov and va.gov? Do we have connectivity to our DNS servers?.gov? 21

22 Pilot Considerations for va.gov Cont. Network Connectivity Do we have connectivity from out ISP? Is enabled on our routing devices from our gateway to our servers (web and DNS)? Server Does the va.gov servers support? Application Does our http (and other web based applications) support? Are there any IPv4 addresses hard coded into our applications/code? Security Will the gateway security products support? Are the web server and other supporting servers updated with any related patches and security configurations? Network Management Can we manage with our existing management system? Can we see what is going on with the side? Transition Mechanisms Do we need to use a transition mechanism? Tunneling or translation? 22

Benefits : Increases the number of individuals clinicians can treat Lessening wait time for patients to be evaluated Remote Care Pilot Employ video conferencing to provide scheduled and drop-in medical appointment service. Benefits : Alleviates patient frustration particularly when speech impaired Assists nursing staff to support patient needs. Videophone Pilot Employ video devices to improve service inside VA s network, replacing current devices. Benefits : Benefits : Allows doctors and clinicians Lower cost to service and to treat additional patients maintain without significant patient Improves level of service and travel speed of connection Greater utilization of doctors and clinicians time 23
