High Performing – “dial tone” Easy to use using existing platforms Reachable – engineering over firewalls and NAT Secure – Fewer firewall ports to open Unmetered access, via national/international (NRENum) Multi-vendor, Multi-device – Flexibility Scalable – overflow, shared cloud based services Supported – 24x7 Sustainable – Fees paying SLA based service guarantees Cost effective – Best practice & shared services buying club Innovative – working with partners on next collaboration services

Vision
Take advantage of the AARNet and Global NREN networks & expertise, with vendor partners to deliver user friendly multivendor converged communication services that
connect “beyond the enterprise”

Collaborations beyond the enterprise
3
Creating a video “cloud” of network carriers and managed video service providers to enable video to just work – coordination of dial plans, SIP, ENUM, access to MCUs, support and scheduling coordination, interoperability testing, apps development and worldwide access via commercial networks
Cisco TelePresence Exchange – investment in core infrastructure donated by Cisco to enable inter-inst. Collaborations nationally and globally
Traditional Video conferencing, supported commercial vendors, expect TIP to play increasing role alongside SIP for interoperability
Chairing efforts with the APAN community to add video network infrastructure to IP networks for no-cost video/UC call services to extend reach into Asia
Exploring ways to extend voice and video calling capability of ENUM/UC in Australia and Asia to extend into Europe & Brazil, Argentina

Collaborations beyond the enterprise Consortia approach – common dial plans, QoS enabled networks, processes
Requires service agreements, scope determines $, rigid framework/changes expensive SPs have economies of scale driver – multi-tenant, cloud, concierge

Disrupting factors in R&E today
I want my MCU in house vs
I would like a hosted MCU
Most of my conferences are simple, known gigs
vs Most of my conferences are to
disparate off-net locations
In house support service Vs
External support services
I want on demand ad hoc conferencing
vs I want scheduling on my
calendar
I would like to ‘burst’ to a pool of resources shared between
other parties on demand vs
I want all of my ports to be virtual, but full 24/7
availability to me

What customers are saying about collaboration services
7
• Expect Pay for Use MCU cloud 3years+ • Use Calendaring as scheduler? • Make it easy in + outside enterprise – multiple devices • Add flexibility to conference mgt • Multivendor • Staffing • 24x7 support • Market too dynamic = investment risk • Need coordinated approach + shared service
AARNet Copyright 2012
Shared, Brokered services highly valued

NVCS – Carrier Grade Cloud Service future • On Net Accessible • Redundant, Resilient, • Common approach – lower cost/complexity – co-investment? • Multi-vendor + R&D enhancements • 24x7 supported with SLAs • Fee based – opt in service model • Greenfield investment
– New blade server architecture – Multi-POP located – Burst beyond port level capacity – Scheduled/Ad hoc requirements to review from enterprise angle
• Means – Multi-tenant – outsource or own virtual MCU – Universities can pool investments – value for money – Universities can connect nationally/internationally – Options to outsource local support/room mgt to third parties

Collaboration service ubiquity is coming
10
• AARNet UC eXchange – Connects multiple UC platforms together – Unmetered access on AARNet – B2B national/Intl VoIP/Video calls – Free Point-to-Point calls – Free Multipoint conference calls – Mobile Apps for free calls from wifi
locations – preconfigured, eduroam auth
• SIP URI dialling is enabling greater access from outside the enterprise – Support for VoIP calls – Video calls – dependency on bandwidth – Wifi access = no false positives with 3G/
4G (e.g. costs more for data than PSTN)
AARNet Copyright 2012
Emerging road map* • NVCS: Carrier grade shared service to outsource guaranteed
video ports or manage own virtual MCU alongside secure, scalable on.net national and global service reach
• AARNet UC exchange: Connect more institutions, peer with
other Intl exchanges, support VoIP calls over wifi via apps • Telepresence Interoperability: Merge services into NVCS
(same scheduler, same next gen infrastructure) for traditional and Telepresence video services
• AARNet Anywhere: AARNet/Polycom personal video
conferencing platform 11
* Plan subject to sector consultation, workshops and CCSC recommendations and demand for services from the sector
AARNet Copyright 2012
Next Steps: QUESTNet workshop: 10 July Targets • Middle Management
– ICT – Communications – AV/VC – Collaboration services
• Technical staff – VoIP/Unified Comms – Video Conferencing – Telepresence – Support Staff
Goals • Gather tactical/technical feedback
on customer issues/opportunities and priorities
• Generate greater awareness of AARNet services
• Attract support and co-operation to connect, use and develop services
• Insight from the vendors on UC/video products and services
