How Web Services affect Network?    (3FQC)

Comment: Suggest grounding these claims on specific policy documents such as FEA PRM and NCOW, and expand them to address security and interoperability requirements from NCOW/others.    (3FRH)

Why SLA (High Availability) affect Network    (3FQE)

Agencies increasingly focus on data availability and protection as they implement solutions for continuity of operations (COOP) and disaster recovery (DR). Data transport between primary and backup locations, often separated by hundreds or thousands of miles, is integral to effective COOP and DR strategies. As data backup needs increase, agencies must weigh the risk versus importance of the data and balance this by providing an affordable, secure and highly adaptable network solution. Increased user demands on agency networks, coupled with the growth in latency-intolerant and bandwidth-hungry applications, often exceed the capabilities of existing network infrastructure.    (3FQF)

Comment: Is govt really suffering from "increased user demands on agency networks, coupled with the growth in latency-intolerant and bandwidth-hungry applications" today? Isn't that a "problem" govt wishes it had?    (3FRI)

Comment: What is the advice to govt planners, given that this diversity arises from funding realities beyond their control. Especially legacy applications and the tendency for each program stovepipe to build its own infrastructure with little regard for interoperability?    (3FRJ)

Comment: Why isn't the first step to deploy a foundation infrastructure capable of secure+interoperable transport? Why build a portal before there are any services, or even a transport infrastructure capable of reaching them securely/interoperably?    (3FRK)

Comment: The internet doesn't provide data quality, data redundancy and semantic consistency either. Has the internet "failed"? Why is SoA different?    (3FRL)
