1. INTRODUCTION

This document has been prepared to assist the bidders for the Support and Maintenance with the

information on the Technology Landscape within SASSA to assist them with responding to the bid and,

planning and providing resources to optimally render services in relation to this bid. This information

will be further augmented during the Briefing Session in terms of the closing the identified gaps.

The Agency has 453 offices Nationwide. The network runs on a MPLS VPN network, the “last mile”

connect through Diginet and/or Fibre. Where there is lack of infrastructure the offices connect through

VSAT or Microwave. The WAN services are rendered by Telkom (responsible for “last mile”) and MPLS

VPN services are rendered by MTN.

SASSA also has 2 data centres, referred as Primary Hosting Centre (PHC) and Secondary Hosting

Centre (SHC). All core business applications are hosted at the datacentres (except for our grants

administration system and BAS which are hosted by SITA). The secondary hosting centre serves and

addresses business continuity requirements.

2. WIDE AREA NETWORK

The diagram below provides an overview of SASSA’s MPLS VPN network. The network interconnects

all SASSA offices and also connects to third party networks to access specific systems, these include:

Primary and Secondary links (100Mbps each) into SITA to access the Grants Administration

system called SOCPEN, as well as Basic Accounting System (BAS)

Primary and Secondary links that connects to BankServ to access systems used to facilitate

payments

Primary and secondary links that connects the Vodacom APN services

30Mbps Internet break-out link at the Primary Hosting Centre

15Mbps Internet break-out link at the Secondary Hosting Centre

2 x 128Kbps links to BankServ (Selby and Randburg)

The diagram below depicts the MPLS VPN network:

2.1 Data lines

The Agency has a far-flung network of users connected to the network. Data lines connectivity is

provided by Telkom via Diginet, MTN via Microwave and VSAT. As the data requirements at these

various points differ, the bandwidth differs significantly. This is illustrated as follows:

Office Bandwidth

Head Office (HO) 8 Mbps

Regional Office (RO) 2 and 4 Mbps

District Office (DO) and Local Offices (LO) 256 -1024kbps

Records Management Centres (RMC) 1 - 2 Mbps

Table 1: Bandwidth provided within SASSA’s network

There is a project currently underway to upgrade all data lines. The upgrade exercise is expected to be

completed by the end of 2017/2018 financial year. The following table depicts the future bandwidth

sizes:

Office Bandwidth

Head Office (HO) 20 Mbps

Regional Office (RO) 8 Mbps

District Office (DO) and Local Offices (LO) 2 Mbps

Records Management Centres (RMC) 4 Mbps

Table 2: Bandwidth provided within SASSA’s network

2.2 Remote Access

Remote access is provided through VPN and APN connection. APN Services is solely utilised by the

Agency’s employees who require remote access to the network. VPN services is provisioned to third

party service providers to render remote support services to the Agency.

The Agency entered into an agreement with Vodacom Business to provide the APN services. The figure

below depicts the APN network.

2.3 Router Standards

The following Routers are deployed within the Agency:

HP MSR3044 Router

MSR 3044 Routers are primarily to be used at a Site where the Network Connected Devices

are set to equal or exceed a total of 100.

HP MSR3024 Router

MSR 3024 Routers are primarily to be used at a Site where the Network Connected Devices

are set to equal to a total of 1 to 99.

HP MSR3040 Router

The HP MSR3040 Routers are vastly distributed within the Agency, and are regarded as legacy

routers which are no longer available for sourcing from the OEM, however still under warranty.

The MSR3044 and MSR3024 are the replacement Routers depending on the number of devices

within the specific office.

HP MSR3020 Router

There are few offices that are connected via the HP MSR3020 Routers. These Routers are also

regarded as legacy devices that will not form part of the future standard. The MSR3044 and

MSR3024 are the replacement Routers depending on the number of devices within the specific

office.

The Agency’s Routers caters for additional modules for additional connectivity, such 3G/LTE for APN

connectivity, BRI and PRI for telephony connectivity, and PABX modules.

3. Local Area Network Technology

At Head Office and Regional Offices there is a separate LAN (Local Area Network) for user access.

Server Room is connected by fully redundant switches. Connectivity to the MPLS is provided by an HP

Router per office.

3.1 Offices with fixed data lines

An Office equipped with a Fixed Data Line within the SASSA context refers to a sourced

Building/Facility that has a Copper/Fibre Data line link to its MPLS/VPN which is used to enable the

8

Agency to conduct its Business within the Building/Facility. Typically this would refer to a SASSA

District/Local or Fixed-Service Point Office and would include a LAN segment.

Head Office and Regional Offices Network layout is as follows:

3.2 Office with VSAT/4G LTE

An Office equipped with a VSAT/4G LTE Link within the SASSA context refers to a sourced

Building/Facility that has a Satellite link to its MPLS/VPN which is used to enable the Agency to

conduct its Business within the Building/Facility. Typically this would refer to a SASSA Local or Fixed-

Service Point Office and would include a LAN segment.

5.2 Backend Services

5.2.1 Active Directory DS logical Architecture

Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services 2012 is deployed on servers at Primary

Hosting Centre, Secondary Hosting Centre and specified branch offices. The

diagram below depicts the Active Directory DS architecture:

Figure 1 – SASSA Solution

5.2.1 Exchange

Exchange 2013 is deployed in the Primary Hosting Center and the Secondary Hosting Centre to provide

a centralized and highly available exchange messaging infrastructure.

There is a total of 12 exchange servers distributed to the two Hosting Centres. Each Hosting Centre

has 3 CAS servers and 3 Mailbox servers. The deployed Exchange 2013 consists of multiple roles,

15

allowing each Exchange server that is deployed to perform a specific function within the messaging

environment:

Each Exchange 2013 Mailbox Servers Contains a Database Availability Group (DAG) Configuration. A

single DAG is deployed across both the AD Sites containing all six (6) mailbox servers. The DAG

provides the Agency with a site resilient Exchange mailbox configuration. The Mailbox Servers are able

to failover their active databases to any of the DAG Members in the event of a disaster.

The diagram below depicts the Exchange Infrastructure:

16

Due to the high importance of these applications to business, their continued operation is of critical

importance. The appointed bidder’s resources will be required to do desktop client installations of the

applications.

5.2.2 DFS

The Agency’s Distributed File System (DFS) architecture is made up of two node Active/Active Windows

Server 2012 File Services clusters in each Hosting Centre. Each Cluster is running a File and Printer

Services deployed in each of the two Hosting Centres. A DFS instance exist between the two Hosting

Centres.

Each Regional Office server or any DFS site server host a single Windows Server 2012 File Services

Server with a co-located a DFS instance that replicates all the file data hosted on each server

individually to the main hosting site DFS Cluster. Distributed BranchCache will be enabled and deployed

to all listed sites to provide faster access to documents and files for sites with slow links.

The below diagram depicts the Agency’s DFS infrastructure:

17

5.2.3 System Center Configuration Manager 2012

Site Servers have been deployed to all available sites with Server infrastructure; Site Servers have

been configured as Secondary site servers (SSS) for all the Regional Offices and Distribution Point

(DP) role at the District offices. The site servers are deployed to localise content and have Software

Update Points for Microsoft Updates deployment and reduce the WAN usage. All Pull DPs have been

reconfigured as DP’s and SSS. All Site servers have been configured as Software Update points and

assigned to their respective sites.

All SASSA Site servers have been configured as Distribution Points instead of Pull Distribution Points.

Distribution points allows SASSA to take advantage of the SCCM Bandwidth control feature to minimise

the high bandwidth Utilisation during Business hours. Distribution points also give control of the content

being distributed to site servers.

Client Communication:

SCCM Clients +- 8000 are configured to communicate over the WAN to the Primary Site Servers at the

PHC. Communication includes Inventory data that is Software and hardware inventory, Policy request,

Software Updates Scan and discovery data.

Software Update or Patch deployment:

Software update point is only installed on the primary site servers as a result all systems will connect

over the WAN during a scan. WSUS scan can grow up to 5MB per machine, this depends on what

updates are outstanding on each machine. The lower the amount of updates required, the lower the

size of the file transferred.

Site Server Installation:

Site servers have been configured and added to the SCCM hierarchy. 9 Secondary Site Server have

been configured at the regional offices.

SSS are configured with the following Site systems roles:

Management point,

Software Update point

Distribution points.

The introduction of SSS ensures local communication and content for the SCCM client.

6 Secondary Site Servers have been configured at the SHC for all Sites without SCCM site servers to

ensure the control of client communication and reduce the cross talk on client that contribute to the high

network utilisation.

18

64 Distribution points deployed to all sites with server infrastructure to enable successful content

distribution and ensure localised content for clients.

5.2.4 System Center Operations Manager 2012

SCOM provides monitoring of servers (physical and virtual), OS (Windows and Unix / Linux), applications (All

Microsoft and many third party application servers) and networks through Microsoft and third party Management

Packs that contain knowledge about each component.

This design will include configurations that will be enabled in the SASSA environment based on the new release

of OpsMgr 2012. Only a subset of the above-mentioned features and management packs will be installed and

configured. The SASSA design for the System Centre 2012 SP1 was design before the release of System 2012

R2. The recommended approach is for the OpsMgr 2012 SP1 environment to be upgraded to OpsMgr 2016.

System Centre 2012 Operations Manager SP1 CU3 will centralize the monitoring and reporting on the health of

Microsoft servers, UNIX/Linux servers and Networking devices in the SASSA environment.

19

5.2.5 Microsoft SQL 2014 – currently upgrading to SQL 2016

The Agency has two data centers that are described as Primary and Secondary. These are linked with

a 10GB WAN link and have a Stretch VLAN.

The unified SQL Server platform must be made highly available and allow for failover to a

secondary datacentre for disaster recovery.

This implementation of SQL Server 2012 SP1 has been architected to allow for:

Failover Clustering for HA.

Geo Clustering for DR.

Maximized supportability with hosted workloads.

Consolidated design.

20

AlwaysOn Availability Groups with AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances are in use in the environment.

The SharePoint and Lync applications are making use of the appropriate HA SQL technology.

21

5.2.6 Hyper-V

The diagrams below depicts the Hyper-V environment which has been deployed within the Agency:

SASSA Regional Branches

5.2.7 System Centre Virtual Machine Manager

SCVMM provides the functionality to manage the fabric infrastructure for virtualization: hosts, clusters

and networks from the bare metal through to abstraction in private clouds. The 2012 version has

changed fundamentally from its predecessor in the overall scope by now managing the entire fabric,

creating Hyper-V clusters from bare metal, managing resource and power optimization natively,

interfacing with Hyper-V, VMWare ESX and Citrix Xen server hosts and orchestrating patching of

clusters. Integration: Data Protection Manager (DPM) protects VMM hosts in addition to its database.

It performs this function through direct interaction with Hyper-V or by accessing VMM directly to support

Live Migration. When protecting virtual machines that have live migration enabled, DPM must

communicate directly with VMM to identify the host on which the virtual machine is currently running.

The diagram below depicts the Agency’s SCVMM:

5.4 Business Intelligence System

The Agency has deployed an HPE ConvergedSystem 300 for Microsoft Analytics Platform to handle it’s business

Inteligence.

Small ¼ rack solution

A “quarter rack” configuration (Figure 4) is the minimum HPE ConvergedSystem 300 for Microsoft Analytics

Platform solution that can be purchased. The solution includes the InfiniBand and Ethernet switches, a

management server and a failover server (HST01 and HST02, respectively), and a single scale unit. This

configuration is also referred to as a 2 + 2 configuration, because there are two scale unit servers + two failover

servers (including the PDW Orchestration node (HST01)).

25

5.5 Oracle PCA and ZFS storage Appliance

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance is an integrated hardware and software system engineered to enable rapid deployment of a

converged compute, network, and storage infrastructure for hosting most applications and workloads, whether running on

Linux, Oracle Solaris, or Microsoft Windows.

In combination with customer-provided storage from Oracle or other storage vendors, Oracle Private Cloud Appliance

incorporates Sun server and network hardware with Oracle operating system, virtualization, and orchestration software to

automate the discovery, configuration, deployment, and management of converged infrastructure for hosting virtual

machines (Vms).

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance incorporates the Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1-15 Director Switch to provide a converged,

wire-once, software-defined networking and storage fabric for all servers and storage in the appliance. Leveraging the

software-defined network fabric, users can rapidly and dynamically create or modify private or public networks without

having to manually re-cable connections, saving time and reducing the risk of human error.

In addition to rapid infrastructure provisioning, Oracle Private Cloud Appliance also accelerates complete application stack

deployment through support for Oracle VM Templates and Assemblies. Oracle VM Templates and Assemblies are

preconfigured applications, middleware, and databases packaged as ready-to-run VMs that can be dynamically configured

at deployment time.

Hardware Components of the PCA
