- Justification & Approval for Other Than Full & Open Competition To provide interactive access to over 20,000 users worldwide, MODS utilizes three distinct platforms: 1) the US Army Network Infrastructure Support Command - Pentagon Enterprise Server; 2) the MODS Web Server; and 3) the user's desk top. AMEDD medical treatment facilities have adequate hardware and connectivity capability to implement the technical solutions locally without additional hardware or infrastructure. Where feasible, every effort is made to use existing capabilities to reduce costs and achieve efficiencies. less than br greater than The hardware architecture consists of an Enterprise and Internet architecture. The central host for the hardware environment is a state-of-the-art IBM Z800 mainframe with OS 390 operated by ITA. The DB2/OS 390 v6 database, the transaction processing using CICS, the reports system using TSO, and the communications protocols for the various networking environments reside on the Enterprise Server. There is a collection of equipment to support the communications connections including an IBM Open Systems Adaptor, an IBM 3172, multiple IBM 3174's, several Cisco routers, Ethernet hubs and switches, digital telecom switches, a bank of modems, and several CSU/DSU. less than br greater than The Internet portion of the environment is the MODS Server located at the Pentagon Data Center, Arlington, VA. This provides a stable, fault-tolerant and scalable server platform that supports the MODS Web Applications less than br greater than The MODS Web Server applications are hosted on an infrastructure of clustered and load-balanced web application servers, clustered and load-balanced web service servers, and clustered database servers. Critical storage requirements are supported by a Storage Area Network (SAN). The servers are configured with a combination of Windows 2008 Server and Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Ed.
