Tenant Managed Services (TMS)

Tenant Managed Services (TMS) is the Statewide Data Center’s co-location service offering.  TMS allows customers the ability to choose which features are needed to best meet specific departmental needs while reducing statewide data center floor space and greenhouse emissions.

Two models of co-location service are offered:

Basic

TMS Basic (formerly known as COEMS) provides secure space in a state-operated, Tier III equivalent data center, while still allowing customers to maintain full control over their computing environment. Tenants also provide and manage their own security components (e.g. Firewall, IPS, etc).

Premium

TMS Premium (formerly known as FDC) offers an additional layer of service.  In addition to providing secure space, it also provides a managed local area network (LAN) and storage area network (SAN).

Security

The TMS Security Standard discusses the requirements that must be adhered to for both physical facility access and data protection. The Data Classification Standard should be followed to ensure that the State Administrative Manual (SAM) section 5305.5 and the Statewide Information Management Manual (SIMM) section 5305-A are adhered to.

The table below is intended to provide clarity around roles and responsibilities between CDT and Tenants for each TMS Model.

  • Full control of the computing environment.
  • Customer provided and managed security components.

Premium services include:

  • All basic services.
  • Security tools/components are provided by CDT.
  • Customers manage security tools/components
  • Managed local area network (LAN).
  • Managed storage area network (SAN).

What are the hardware and cabinet requirements?

  • Customer hardware must be assessed prior to installation by CDT.
  • Considerations such as excessive power requirements and cooling needs are reviewed during the assessment process.
  • Hardware must physically fit/mount into the CDT provided TMS Cabinets.
  • Customers may request to provide their own cabinets and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
  • After installation, CDT will provide a brief inspection to ensure that equipment is properly racked, cables are bundled, and power strips are plugged in redundantly.

How do customers access their TMS environment?

  • TMS customers have physical access to their cabinets 24×7 at Rancho Cordova.
  • The customer authorizes cabinet access by completing a Tenant Contact List.
    Rancho Cordova Site: Customers must submit a TMS Raised Floor Activity Request through ServiceNow, to access the Rancho Cordova site.
  • For non-urgent/planned visits, we request at least 48 business hours advance notice prior to the visit.
    For emergency or break-fix issues, a customer should open a Case via ServiceNow or by calling the Service Desk at (916) 464-4311.
  • Visitors not listed on the Tenant Contact List will require approval by a Customer’s Authorized Representative prior to being granted access to the Computer Room.
  • Vacaville Site: Customers must submit a TMS Raised Floor Activity Request through ServiceNow, to access the Vacaville site.
  • For non-urgent/planned visits, we request at least 48 business hours advance notice prior to the visit.
  • We request 72 business hours advance notice if you need access to the loading dock.
  • Visitors not listed on the Tenant Contact List will require approval by a Customer’s Authorized Representative prior to being granted access to the Computer Room.
  • Customers visiting the Vacaville site must be escorted by a CDT employee.
  • Authorized (badged) vendors may access the Vacaville site without an escort.
  • Authorized (badged) vendors may not act as an escort for TMS customers or other vendors.
  • Off-hour visits to the Vacaville site may incur additional fees to compensate for overtime costs.

What assistance will CDT provide in moving equipment?
CDT staff will coordinate access through the facility and loading dock.

Are TMS customers responsible for providing movers?
The customer is responsible for moving and installing/racking their equipment into the TMS Basic or Premium environment.

  • The customer is responsible for physically moving their equipment from CDT loading dock to the final destination within the TMS raised floor or hire a vendor to provide moving services.
  • CDT has some moving equipment available to the customer with advance notice. All packing materials, cardboard, Styrofoam, and pallets must be removed by the customer.

Who is responsible for server software installation?
The customer.

What are the advantages of 208-voltage power cords?

  • 208-volt power cords draw less current than the standard 110-volt power cord.
  • Less current mean less heat; therefore, your device will run cooler and will help minimize the risk of equipment failure.
  • The lower power consumption also helps contribute to the overall power efficiency of the data center.

Can customer deliveries be made to the Rancho Cordova site?

  • Yes, the customer is responsible for all deliveries and must be present (or a designee) to sign for and accept all shipments.
  • All delivery attempts made to the Rancho Cordova site without a representative present will be refused and sent back with the shipper at the customer’s expense.
  • Delivery notifications must be submitted through ServiceNow.
  • CDT is unable to sign for or store customer-owned packages or assets.

How do customers connect to their TMS Basic environment?
Option 1: Customers can order their own circuits via CALNET, from their site to the CDT data center. CDT will extend the circuit from the MPOE to the TMS rack, for a one-time fee.
Option 2: Customers can request bandwidth (aka a ‘handoff’) to the Internet and other CDT resources to their TMS rack at the following speeds:

56 kb10 Mbps1 Gbps
T-150 Mbps5 Gbps
DS3100 Mbps10 Gbps

Each connection will incur both a one-time and monthly fee, per the CDT Rate Schedule.

Will TMS Premium customers have their own set of IP Addresses?

  • Customers can use an allocation of their own network IP addressing, use some allocation from the TMS Premium globally routable allocation, or get an allocation from CDT.
  • Customers can use either globally routable or private IP addressing in their environment.
  • TMS Premium was designed in such a way that there is no issue with Customers overlapping IP address space.

What appliances will be acceptable to deploy within TMS Premium?

  • Computing hardware is the ideal candidate for TMS Premium cabinets.
  • All appliances must be rack mountable into the CDT provided server cabinets; however, all proposed devices will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

What rights do TMS Premium customers have to their firewall in the virtual security context?

  • Customers have full manageability of their firewall security context.
  • Customers control all rule sets, logging, and authentication to their firewall security context.

How many VLANs are allowed per TMS Premium server cabinet?
Up to 10 VLANs.

Does CDT provide a Network Time Protocol (NTP) service in TMS Premium?
Yes.

Is the Statewide Data Center Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 certified?
The CDT Data Center is not SOC 2 certified.

Is the Data Center suitable for Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII)?
Yes, for CDT-hosted platforms. For TMS, CDT can only attest the physical environment is suitable. In TMS the IT components are owned, configured, and managed by the customer (except for the service’s perimeter firewall).

Is there a contact at CDT for TMS Support?
Support and questions can be submitted at CIOTMSSupportGroup@state.ca.gov.

What are the costs of the TMS service offering?
Rates vary based on subscribed services. Rate information can be found on this page under the Rates tab.

The rate schedule represents standard CDT services. If a Customer requires technology solutions that are not part of the standard, CDT will review the Customer’s request and provide customized pricing as necessary.

The below tables can be sorted by Service Code, Service Description, Unit of Measurement, Rate, and Group.
