Start herebecause you have to do it somewhere.

The BONe is a Starting point.

Business Opportunity Network (BONe)

Solution or marketing?

e-BusinessThe definition of an e-Business used to be unique but over the past few years most Businesses have evolved into using some form of information technology from portable credit card machines to back-to-base tablets.An e-Business usually is considered now to be a business that uses technology from point of order/sale to distribution.Would the BONe be considered an e-Business? It will provide a service that involves the transmission of information.Most services companies now that provide skills from overseas, though traditional help services, use network technologies to provide these services.

What is the BONe?The Business Opportunity Network (BONe) will initially be a layer2/3 network

structure located at two data facilities within the Sydney Basin. It will consist of switches that can provide layer 2 or 3 networking and up to a Gigabit of throughput. The network is not designed to provide security by technology in the network. BONe addresses 3 of the 10 CISSP security domains:

Access Control Systems and Methodology Telecommunications and Network Security Physical Security

With a capability and requirement by the participants to:– Provide Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery – Ensuring Security Management Practices are used– Applying Security Architecture and Models – Be influential in the application of Laws Ethics – Aiding the development of Application and Systems Development

Security – Encourage the use of Cryptography – Allow the provision of Computer Operations Security and Management

Is it Secure? Not really.

The BONe is not by nature secure as it has no components that control access, authorisation or authentication as part of the general service. The security of this infrastructure is provided by:

allowing only organizations with clear security processes to connect being based around best practice security Guidelines an enforced requirement for firewalling locating in a secure, monitored and controlled access facilities having specialist VLAN capability for particular needs allowing the connecting organizations to tailor security to their

requirements (they still have the keys) use of controlled Public IP address space capability for failover to an alternate site having a capability to be resilient Allowing organizations to append additional applications

BONe why it can workThe BONe is based around providing a simpler means to communicate between multiple organizations without the complexities of:

negotiating IP addressing setting up complex routing dealing with multiple firewalls and firewall policies negotiating with multiple communications carriers setting up complex DMZ’s segmenting connecting organizations from each other forcing multiple organizations to access and share the same resources requiring organizations to change their routing or internal security policies freedom to provide services to other organizations

How the BONe will appear to Organizations

The initial BONe will be at two physical locations with 4 switches. Due to growth and the need to be flexible it can simply be extended by appending switches.

How does BONe work?

The BONe provides a very simple service to its participants and a clear set of rules. An organization is in charge of providing its own telecommunications to the hub site and managing its own firewall. They are entitled to two Rack Units of space and four 10a power outlets and this can only be used for a firewall and communications equipment.

On application an organization is only entitled to 16 IP addresses from the Public address assignment, 8 initially and a further 8 if required. Additional are available on specific request.

Organizations have an option to have special VLANs created for their needs. They are required to sponsor this VLAN and also control access to it. The sponsor Organization is responsible for costs and authorising connection to the VLAN.

An organization can ask for additional space, this needs to be negotiated with BONe customer sales.

Who should be on the BONe?

The following market segments are identified as having a need for BONe:

Retail companies for e-Business communication B2B Government Agencies for email/data eXchange

services Judicial systems for Video conferencing and record

exchange Wholesale companies for secure/fast transactions Communication links for Services Companies

What is BONe selling?

The concept of the BONe is simple. A central area where you can communicate to other organizations without a lot of the other issues and with a clear, physical and logical demarcation.

Organizations have the capability of sharing services to other participants equally and without discrimination.

Interfacing between the organizations facilitates time share as well as the secure exchange of data.

How can it fail?

BONe fails to listen to the customer needs.BONe management appears biased or favors a particular

organisation.Services offered are not scoped to match.Changing the profile without consensus.

Failure to grow the environment.
