Truestone helps design, build out and sustain the largest managed services network in all the civil government

TNet: The Department of Treasury's next generation enterprise wide area network (WAN).

Challenge

AT&T™ Government Solutions was tasked with the building of TNet—a IP Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network spanning 800-plus locations and supporting more than 100,000 employees of the U.S. Department of Treasury and its 12 bureaus with a single, converged backbone network to carry data, voice and video services. It also features secure remote access to support the agency's 33,000+ teleworkers as well as High Availability and disaster resilient services. Truestone's challenge was to provide AT&T with the augmented engineering, program management and administrative capabilities to rapidly deploy and sustain this nation-wide fully managed network service under the Networx program contract.

Solution

In 2008, Truestone established a Professional Services Agreement with AT&T that enabled it to offer a menu of services and best practice models at every stage of the TNet build out. Services and responsibilities include:

• Coordinate with AT&T Labs to design WAN architectures that would successfully support a wide array of specialized services across the entire Treasury operating environment
• Physically install routers, firewalls, anti-virus and other specified security devices at key locations nationwide
• Tier II and Tier III network engineering services to bring sites on-board and resolve any post installation issues. Train support staff on same services
• Domain Name System (DNS) engineering services, including UNIX administrative services
• Windows system administration engineering
• Information Assurance (IA) engineering for IA policy and implementations review and assessment
• Contingency operations (COOP) review
• Configuration Management, including configuration tests through AT&T Labs
• Invoice reconciliation and Service Level Agreement (SLA) engineering support
• Project Management at all key service points

A concerted effort on the part of Treasury, its bureaus, AT&T, its vendors and Truestone culminated in the successful migration of Treasury's legacy data telecommunications circuits to TNet and Networx in August, 2010.

Value to AT&T and Treasury

Truestone's engineering skills, domain knowledge, agility and best-value pricing enabled AT&T and the Department of Treasury obtain the volume of resources necessary to augment the TNet team and successfully complete and sustain this critical telecommunications project.
