Service Options
There are four Service Options to choose from:
● TEST & DEVELOPMENT is hosted in one UK DC. Typically used for short term testing and development projects or less critical workloads such as temporary applications. Backup can be added at the rates shown in Pricing.
● BASIC compute is hosted in one UK DC with no backup included by default. Typically used for true cloud applications which are designed for failure, short term Pilots & Proof of Concepts or when disposable compute resources are required. If DR/site resilience is required, customers can deploy independent systems in each data centre. Backup can be added at the rates shown in Pricing.
● STANDARD compute is hosted in one UK DC and includes a local backup for 14 days within the price of both the VM and additional storage. In addition, backups can be stored for 28 days at an additional charge. Typically used for Enterprise / Production environments requiring the additional protection of automated backup included. This solution can be engineered to help a Customer design a solution that is highly resilient.
● ENHANCED compute offers Customers a turnkey solution that contains a highly resilient environment by continually replicating the live VMs over to the second Data Centre in real time, offering near zero RPO and RTO’s to help Customers with their Disaster Avoidance plans. The service includes a local and remote backup for 14 days within the price of both the VM and additional storage. In addition, backups can be stored for 28 days at an additional charge. This service leverages synchronous replication to ensure data is always available at both data centres – Customers should be aware of the additional latency this incurs.
Each service provides the following availability:
Configurations can be purchased on their own or can be combined in multiples of each or any type to provide the infrastructure that each customer needs.
Development and Test Environment Management
In addition to the provision of a monthly purchased production Platform on Command Sopra Steria also offers Dev and Test environments charged by the hour for when the environment (VM) is running. When the VM is stopped data retention / storage charges are incurred. When the VM is deleted no charges are incurred.
This is managed service which when a client has been on boarded will enable the rapid provisioning of environments (typically within a day) that will support the rapidly changing requirements in this digital age. With the ability to stand up more or less environments Agile development projects can rapidly react to the changing calls on environment provisioning during the lifecycle of projects.
The servers offered are the same specification as our monthly service and included provision of:
● Managing “online” hours on an individual environment basis
● Snapshots available on request
● Production of capacity reports
● Initial network configuration (One change to configuration included)
● Initial load balancing (One change included)
● Upgrading or down grading an environment to a different standard provision
● Nightly back-ups and Restore from backup are included
● Provision of installed antivirus software
The management of this service is supported during normal working hours (9 to 5) Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays. Additional support and extended support hours can be provided if required, and will be charged at our standard rates.
Sopra Steria are able to offer enhanced environments for Development and Testing of specific products such as:
● SharePoint
● Java
● Microsoft
● Mobile applications
These will be discussed on an individual basis and will incur additional costs at our standard SFIA rates.
Dev and Test costs for both Windows and RHEL services are detailed in Pricing.
Note: There is a minimum commitment of “online” hours for each environment (server) of 50 hours per month for a minimum of three months.

● Incident reports
● Availability reports
● Capacity utilisation
● Enhanced service reporting can be provided if required by the customer
Other important information:
● Leased line and site to site VPN connectivity for remote access is available
● Each customer is provided with 3 useable external IP address by default, these are not transferable. Additional IP addresses maybe available on request
● Memory and processors are uncontended and so performance is certain to be predictable at the BASIC, STANDARD or ENHANCED Service Levels. The TEST & DEVELOPMENT Service Level is subject to resource contention and so performance might be more variable
● Micro VM’s must reside in a dedicated Virtual Data Centre (VDC) separate from other VM sizes. Customers can configure a VPN between the Micro VDC and other VDC’s to enable network connectivity if required
● Each customer can create their own catalogues of software and operating systems, providing gold images for other users to build and replicate from
● VMs and storage (including backups) are persistent – they are not deleted when the VM is stopped
● Data transfer between VMs within a customer’s environment is free whilst within the same data centre. When transferring data between data centres (for example for back up), charges will be incurred
● VMware vSphere is used as the hypervisor for this PaaS service.
Software
● The provided VMs do not include third party applications such as Java or Adobe for example. Sopra Steria can manage, license and install these if required under our Lot 4 consultancy service
● Anti-virus is not included. Sopra Steria can provide an anti-virus solution if required or you can utilise your existing solution and licencing arrangements
● In line with Microsoft Terms and Conditions, licenses for Microsoft Windows operating systems must be provided by Skyscape. Other Microsoft licenses (e.g. applications such as Exchange, SQL, etc) on existing agreements have the potential to be used under Microsoft’s ‘License Mobility’.

Backup / Recovery; Disaster Recovery and High Availability
Standard, localised component failures are tolerated within the
infrastructure by eliminating all single points of failure (including physical server failure or disk failure).
High availability and fault tolerance at the Virtual Machine level (e.g. load balancing across multiple virtual machines). In this way, service will be automatically restored in most situations.
● Automated VM Backups include the whole Virtual Machine (crash consistent snapshot) and so partial backups are not supported
● Automated VM Backups do not include the Virtual Data Centre configuration (e.g. firewall rules, load balancing configuration, etc)
● Sopra Steria do not guarantee how quickly a restore can complete as this is based on the amount of data backed up.
● A restore of a VM from backup will incur additional (hourly) charges based on the resources consumed i.e. it will be treated as another VM
Additionally, Sopra Steria can provide a “Cloud Storage” platform on which customers can keep secondary copies of data. This can be achieved via manual data copy, scripted data copy or the use of supported backup applications such as Commvault, Tessella, Riverbed, EMC ViPR and others. Such data can be replicated between data centres for even higher data protection.
Disaster Recovery
For customers who choose:
● ENHANCED Service Level will replicate the VMs and associated data to a second UK locale which provides a robust solution for more substantial failure of the primary environment (e.g. site failure)
● TEST & DEVELOPMENT, BASIC and STANDARD service levels:
● Customers can elect to have independent VM’s in each site and implement application level replication utilising Skyscape’s secure and scalable inter-datacentre circuits (at additional cost). In the event of a site failure, Sopra Steria can assist the Customer to failover their environment to the second data centre.

Functional Description
Platform on Command has been developed following discussions with key stakeholders across Government, Industry and Partner organisations to provide a cloud service based on a
set of core functional components. These are summarised below:
Flexible Infrastructure Services
● An infrastructure service that meets customers current and future needs
Current economic conditions require customers to provision new services within their organisations and government departments with the minimal financial expenditure. In addition, services must allow for flexible growth, again without significant capital expenditure. Platform on Command allows customers to use as little as one VM and to only be charged for what they use. Customers can flex on demand with minimal forecast planning. This flexibility is also reflected in utility based monthly charging model.
Provisioning Service
● Customer driven provisioning
The Sopra Steria Platform on Command offers the customer the opportunity to specify the configuration options for the standard service and whether they require Additional Service Options or enhanced Service Management including:
● VM sizes (Micro, Tiny, Small, Medium and Large)
Production or Test and Development
● Number of Virtual Machines (VMs) of each size
● Storage Options
● Backup Options
● Operating System Options
Network / Connectivity Options
● Image Management Options
● Application monitoring and management options
● Provisioning Method
● Reporting Options
● VPN Options
● Duration
● Off-boarding options
By selecting from a menu of configuration options, the service can be defined rapidly. The time traditionally taken to discuss and agree service requirements, which delays access to the services, can be avoided.
Sopra Steria recognise that not all customers’ requirements will be met by selecting options through an automated provisioning service. If a customer requires a tailored configuration, Sopra Steria will design one to meet the customer’s precise needs.

On-Boarding / Off-Boarding Processes
On-Boarding Processes
Sopra Steria operate a standard, repeatable on-boarding process for our Cloud offerings to minimise the time taken from a customer forming a requirement to being able to use the service.
The Sopra Steria on-boarding process will commence upon receipt of a valid order from the customer. For most Platform on Command offerings, this will simply be an order form requesting one or more of the standard VMs (Micro, Tiny, Small, Medium or Large VM configurations, as part of the order, the customer will complete a questionnaire specifying their configuration options as outlined above.
Once received, Sopra Steria will confirm that there are no issues with the order and assuming there are none, will commence Build and Deployment as outlined below.
If none of the standard configuration options are suitable, a customer will require a tailored configuration. On receipt of an enquiry, one of the Sopra Steria Platform on Command team will contact the customer to discuss their specific needs. Sopra Steria will document what the customer needs and propose a configuration to deliver this. Once this is agreed, a price will be provided to allow the customer to raise a formal order. Once received, Sopra Steria will commence Deployment as outlined below.
Provisioning
The simple process for provisioning Platform on Command can be summarised as below:
● Ordering and processing phase
● Deployment phase
The typical lead times for new and existing customers, taking a standard service, can be seen in the table below.
On receipt of a valid order, Sopra Steria will advise of the lead times that can be expected for the order. The lead times above are indicative and may vary for a number of factors including the completeness of the order questionnaire and the complexity of configuration requested.
Off-Boarding Process
Off-boarding from Platform on Command is equally straightforward. On expiry of the agreement or notice of a customer stopping using the service, the service will be withdrawn.
Depending on the off-boarding options selected, some or all of the following off-boarding services may apply:
If the customer anticipates re-use of any of the services that they have used on Platform on Command, a number of Off-Boarding scenarios can be requested as additional service options including:
● Mothballing persistent data
● Mothballing VMs – Snapshot, CMDB status
Activity New Customer Existing Customer
Ordering and processing
2 days 1 day
Deployment Will depend on size and complexity – typically between 3 and 10 days for up to 20 servers of standard configuration and low complexity.
Activity Description
Exit Checklist The activities on the exit checklist will be completed. This checklist options will be confirmed during on-boarding which will ensure that the exit process is not ambiguous.
Data Decommission Service Process
Unless requested otherwise as an additional service, the customer is responsible for securely removing any data.
Data Deletion When the customer terminates their agreement with Sopra Steria, we will ensure all of the customer’s data is deleted.
Billing Finalisation Once the customer has off-boarded from the service, Sopra Steria will raise the final billing to cover any outstanding monthly, exit and consumption charges.
Delivering Transformation. Together.
Training
As part of the on-boarding process Sopra Steria will provide information covering
● How to request new services, get reporting and find out about billing
● How to access install applications etc. for users who will manage their applications themselves
If a customer requires additional training for their users, this can be provided through Sopra Steria’s Specialist Cloud Services as outlined below.

Additional Services Options Pricing
Pricing for the Additional Service options detailed above are available on request.
Minimum Order Values
The minimum order for Sopra Steria’s Platform on Commandservice is 1 x Large Configuration, 2 x Medium Configurations or 4 x Tiny / Small Configurations.
The pricing relates to orders for commodity Cloud services based on standard configurations with a menu of configurable options. If customers require a tailored configuration, we will be happy to design a service to meet your precise needs. In such cases a minimum order value may apply. Please see our Service Terms for further details.
Ordering and Invoicing Process
Details of the ordering and invoicing process can be found in the Service Specific terms document.
Termination Terms
Details of the termination Terms can be found in the Service Specific terms document.
Trial Services
Trial services are not currently available.
Discounts
Discounts apply to the compute layer of the service only and excludes software licences and any platform management.
Consumers commit to spending a specific minimum amount each month for a minimum of 12 months. The discount level attained is based on the total spend of the compute layer.
To achieve the discount, the consumer will fix a value that they will commit to spend for each month of the term. This must be in a single PO with each month as a separate line item. As Consumers can consume more than their committed amount each month, they must also add an additional line item and value to cover any over spend. This must be part of the same PO.
If the Consumer has an existing contract, they must accept a Contract Change Notice and set the values as outlined above. Where multiple contracts are affected any changes will be made via a Side Letter.
Points:
● Individual projects or departments (billing entities associated with each monthly spend) can be amended during the year through discussion with and agreement from Sopra Steria; however the committed value cannot be reduced midterm.
● Consumers only get a discounted rate for each month, up to the set monthly figure for the computer layer i.e. not for over usage
● At the end of each month Sopra Steria will do one of two things.
1. If the actual compute usage is above the committed value, Sopra Steria will take the value from the monthly commitment line item and the remaining balance from the Overspend line item.
2. If the actual compute usage is below the set value, Sopra Steria will bill the Consumer the committed value.
● At the end of the 12 months, Sopra Steria will rebate the Consumer the value of the applicable discount for the compute layer over the 12 month period minus any over usage for the last month. For example, the invoice for month 12 is for the committed consumption plus any overuse at standard prices with the potential for a 12 month rebate.
● If the Overspend PO line item value is spent prior to the 12 months, the Consumer must issue a top up PO value for the remainder of the 12 months or increase their spend and commit to a further 12 months
● The Consumer will pay for any usage above the set amount at the standard rates
● The discount is set based on the committed PO value, not the actual usage
