Volume II – Technical and Functional Specifications

Design Description

• At SDC, a Gigabit Ethernet link from SWAN (SHQ) will be connected to the L3

switch

• It should be also noted that, SWAN would also be carrier for CSC information

or dataflow between the Citizens / Users (Departments/ Offices) and the SDC.

This Router would be the bridge between the Intranet i.e. SWAN users and

SDC environment.

• The router would also have capability to handle the data traffic and multiple

SSL/VPN encapsulations for secured data transfer between

SWAN/CSC/Internet and SDC.

• Intrusion Prevention system should detect malicious traffic and further protect

the SDC environment;

• Intrusion system would also detect (and prevent) any intrusion from

Internet/extranet network.

• Firewalls would provide next layer of protection between the extranets

(SWAN/ CSC/ Internet) and DMZ (which has hosted the application server).

• All the servers would be connected to high capacity LAN Switch, which can

process million of packets within seconds, depending on the Users and

Application and its contents.

• The Application servers would be accessing the database from the backend

in order to process the user / citizens queries/requests.

• The Database servers (RDBMS) are further hosted in higher security layer,

comprising of components such as Firewall and Intrusion Prevention system.

• The SDC provides Infrastructure Services such as Firewall Service, Directory

Service, Web Service, Database Service, messaging and data storage

services etc. which would be shared among all the applications / departments

participating in the SDC. Using these services, the SDC ensures centralized

delivery of citizen / departmental services. The SDC services would be

deployed as components and therefore will have a potential for re-use in

launching future services, without disturbing the existing architecture.

• In this secure infrastructure it has to be ensured that the security devices in

the network such as Firewalls, are in high-availability mode, and these

devices should be even distributed to optimize performance.

Page 7: VOLUME - II.doc

Volume II – Technical and Functional Specifications

• The business related services would also have a potential of having multi-

channel access / integration in future, as the data returned by the components

would be in XML /SOAP format. Unicode would be the technology used for

dissemination of information in multi-lingual format, though the existing data is

stored in font based format. Since, several outside entities will access SDC

services, and hence it is important to use international standards such as the

Unicode etc.

• Another key consideration should be done for hosting the Legacy

applications. SG has to migrate / port the applications to n tier architecture,

which would be provided using SDC.
