This Catalogue describes the services and their associated features and is related to two other documents that, together, fully define and describe delivered services. These are: Dualog s Service Level Agreement (SLA) Dualog s Current Price List Each service is identified by a service ID and a service name. Published on February

4 IT Services Dualog s IT services are based on a client/server architecture where the client software Dualog Connection Suite Ship is installed on a computer at a remote site (e.g. onboard a ship) and the associated Dualog Connection Suite Cloud is managed and maintained by Dualog in a professional set of datacentres. Customers have access to the Connection Suite Cloud via the Internet ( where configuration of the remote / ship software can be performed as per the illustration below: There are three categories of Dualog IT services: 1. Business Services 2. Crew Services 3. Security and Control Services 3

10 Connection Suite Core Brand Name Service ID: ITS000 Scope Connection Suite Core Connection Suite Core is Dualog s base system infrastructure for ship-shore data communication services offered to ships in local, regional and worldwide trade. 9

11 Description Connection Suite Core comprises the fundamental elements of software, servers, operation and support as illustrated below Dualog Connection Suite Cloud is a managed service handling customers shipshore data traffic. This potentially relieves the customer of major administrative / operational overheads. Additionally, it includes access to the Support team for both customers shore and ship-based staff. Connection Suite Core comprises two main components: The onboard client software (Connection Suite Ship) and the cloud-based servers (Connection Suite Cloud). dualog.net is Dualog s customer portal providing complete shore-based management via the Internet. All configuration of the ships Dualog software can be managed via this portal. Additional Connection Suite services are built on this foundation - see the illustration on the next page. Customers can implement one or more of these services if / when required. 10

12 Connection Suite Core basics Connection Suite IT Services on top of Connection Suite Core: Important Note: Business and /or crew oriented services may require one or more security and control oriented service. For example: If, on a ship, there are three separate networks (one for business use, one for crew use and one for the IP-based communication systems), Network Control is required. Normally, members of crew (when accessing the Internet) are not allowed to access the business network and might also be restricted to using specific communications systems - e.g. VSAT but never Inmarsat FleetBroadband. 11
