The bidders can propose appropriate industry standard products & solutions for the
components required for implementation of the Andhra Pradesh State Data Centre
Project. It is to be noted that SDA may procure all /part of the Infrastructure
requirements/services as specified in the RFP. It is not binding on the SDA to procure

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.
__________________________________________________________________________________RFP for State Data Center, Andhra Pradesh Page 6 of 99
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.

technologies, best practices, guidelines, and standards. The security services used to
protect the information infrastructure shall include
• Identification – The process of distinguishing one user from all others
• Authentication – The process of verifying the identity of a user
• Authorization and Access Control – The means of establishing and enforcing
user rights and privileges
• Administration – The process of establishing, managing, and maintaining
security
• Audit – The process of monitoring the identification, authentication,
authorization and access control, and administration to determine if proper
security has been established and maintained.
It is important to note that the technologies chosen are in flux, where the services and
goals remain constant. It is exigent that as new technologies emerge or existing
one’s mature that they be re-evaluated in light of the security principles and goals
outlined in this document. These security services shall be delivered and that the
technologies are implemented in conjunction with a set of best practices guidelines
and industry standards.
Wherever applicable the following principles must be applied to the security
architecture:
• All passwords must expire after a specified number of days or sooner at
user’s discretion.
• Reuse of passwords must be separated by a pre-determined number of
alternate passwords, not to be less than 10

The data transfer to and from the server should be secure to hacking and
unauthorized access. The application should use a protocol to transfer the
data with 128 bit encryption which could only be readable by the application
deployed for the SDC Project.
• The User groups with appropriate roles have to be classified based on the
privileges that are sought to be granted and users need to be assigned to the
roles as appropriate. The supervisor has to be given appropriate privileges to
assign people to roles. Access to all application modules and related
functionality will be based on these privileges.

• Zone B/C: Zone B/C should be provided with split-type comfort air-
cooled system ( at least meeting with Tier - II architecture requirements).
2.1.2.2 Natural Convection
As the conditioned air is supplied through the grills with volume control dampers on
the floor, the cold air-cools the component in a much faster and efficient manner as it
does moves up, after extracting heat from the component. This follows the natural
convection path of the air. The warm air should be sucked at the top by machine, air-
conditioned and then supplied back to the room.
2.1.2.3 Air Distribution
The air is to be distributed evenly by providing grills with VCDs (Volume Control
Dampers) in the floor tiles.
2.1.2.4 Flexibility
The system should give the flexibility of discharging air at wherever point required
even if the furniture is relocated. Changing the grill/tiles carrying grills, at suitable
location does this.
