Government of Karnataka-BangaloreOne

BangaloreOne (B1)—Integrated Citizen Service Centers (ICSC) is an example of
how IT can be used to provide information and services of the departments and
agencies of State and Central governments to the common man, through easy access
to a chain of computerized Integrated Citizen Service Centers (ICSC) operating
24X7, electronic kiosks and the Web. The B1 setup consists of various citizen
centers connected with a common B1 Data Center using 128 kbps leased line and a
128 kbps backup ISDN line. The B1 data center houses the database server, the
application server and the integration server. The integration server talks to
the departments on behalf of B1 centers. Any service request coming from the
service centers for a particular department gets routed through the integration
server to the respective department's data center. The B1 data center is
connected with the department using dedicated leased lines backed up by ISDN
lines. The capacity of the leased lines varies from 2 Mbps to 128 kbps depending
upon the traffic requirement. The B1 Data Center also acts as an internet
gateway for the B1 web portal. The Internet pipe is totally encrypted using SSL
for greater security. For data security, B1 has a disaster recovery site
available. This site is geographically dislocated and has a log shipping working
between its database and B1 Data Centre database.
