Its purpose is to define minimum hardware configurations necessary to support interoperability both between NASA end user computers and within the NASA
12、operating environment. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-The Standard establishes minimum “to keep” and minimum “to buy” hardware configurations. Adherence to this Standard ensures compliance with federal requirements for end user compu
13、ting devices. Requests for information, corrections, or additions to this Standard should be directed to the John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field (GRC), Emerging Technology and Desktop Standards Group, MS 142-4, Cleveland, OH, 44135 or to desktop-standardslists.nasa.gov. /signature on file/
14、Larry N. Sweet Chief Information Officer 1 SCOPE 1.1 Purpose NASA-STD-2805 FY 2014 defines the minimum Agency hardware interoperability technical specifications. The specifications apply to all end user computing devices participating in the NASA environment. 1.2 Applicability Center CIOs will ensur
15、e that all NASA employees at their respective centers have access to an interoperable system that is equipped with a minimum hardware configuration that meets the standards listed in Section 3 below. The Hardware Reference Configuration (HRC) establishes required functionality and required products
16、necessary to meet that functionality. End user hardware specifications not meeting the defined minimum configuration may be used in areas where interoperability is not required. However, NASA-STD-2805 Mission systems such as end user workstations must meet the criteria specified in section 3.3 of th
17、is document to ensure mission, program and Agency interoperability. 1.3 Waivers This technical Standard is governed by Enterprise Architecture Function as defined in Section 1.2.1.3 of NPR 2800.1B Managing Information Technology. Adherence to this Standard ensures compliance with the future state ar
18、chitecture as described in NPR 2830.1 NASA Enterprise Architecture Procedures. The Emerging Technology and Desktop Standards group, in cooperation with the End User Services Service Executive and the Chief Enterprise Architect, will evaluate and process waivers to this Standard as appropriate. Waive
19、r requests will include: 1. the reason the waiver is required 2. justification for the waiver 3. a proposed date by which compliance with the standard will be met Waivers will be granted by the NASA CIO or at his/her discretion responsibility will be delegated to the Center or Mission Directorate CI
20、O. 1.4 Restructuring of NASA-STD-2805 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-As part of the annual update to NASAs Desktop Computing Standards the NASA-STD-2805 FY 2014 Hardware Reference Configurations (HRCs) have been restructured. The res
21、tructured format recognizes marketplace technology evolution, maintains opportunities for enterprise technology infusion and increases opportunities for feedback from service providers and the end user community. The restructured HRCs will include a reduction in discrete technical specifications, as
22、 warranted, to allow greater fulfillment flexibility. Business drivers also accompany technical specifications to provide basic insight into the enterprise rationale for their inclusion. A Universal Specification table has been established where technical specifications common to all configurations
23、are listed. Criteria listed in the Universal Specifications table apply to every HRC unless superseded by a discrete specification within a HRC. Hardware Reference Configurations have also been logically grouped into one of four Business Functions. 1.4.1 Business Functions 1.4.1.1 General Purpose Of
24、fice Automation Systems General Purpose Office Automation Systems provide the general office automation functions and highest degree of enterprise interoperability to meet the broadest organizational needs. Example HRCs include the PC Desktop, PC Laptops including ultra lightweights, Apple OS X Desk
25、top and Apple OS X Laptops including ultra lightweights. 1.4.1.2 Mobile Computing Systems Mobile Computing Systems may sacrifice appreciable functionality for specific form factor benefits and in some instances enterprise interoperability. Example HRCs include smartphones, slates devices such as the
26、 iPad and tablets. 1.4.1.3 Mission Systems Mission Systems are computing systems defined by NASA Program specifications to meet broad mission needs and include engineering HRCs, mobile engineering and CAD HRCs. 1.4.1.4 Legacy and Sunsetting Technology This category represents formerly mainstream tec
27、hnology that persists in the Standards for specification stability reasons, until no longer required within the NASA environment. Current examples include pagers and feature phones. Section 4 of this Standard contains a list of Legacy and Sunsetting Technology. 1.4.2 Hardware Reference Configuration
28、s Removed The evolution of technology and the choices of the marketplace significantly affect two previous NASA-STD-2805 Hardware Reference Configurations (HRCs). The Netbook HRC has been removed, and the PC Tablet HRC has been relocated to the Legacy and Sunsetting Technology section of this Standa
29、rd. The Business Function of both HRCs can be closely mapped to either the Slate and/or Ultra Lightweight computer systems. The marginalizing of the PC Tablet business function, the encroachment of capabilities by the Slate and Ultra Lightweight systems, along with the PC Tablets diminishing marketp
30、lace presence, will motivate the complete removal of this form factor from the NASA-STD-2805 Hardware Reference Configurations, at the next semi-annual revision of this Standard (Q1 2014). Optical disk (e.g. CD, DVD) drives are entering a similar sunsetting phase within the IT marketplace which is r
31、eflected in NASA-STD-2805 FY 2014. As a result of their diminishing market presence, fewer NASA-Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-STD-2805 HRCs have discrete optical drive specifications, most notably reflected in the lightweight and ul
32、tra lightweight laptop family of HRCs. However, all HRCs require supporting peripheral interfaces such as USB 3.0 (with the exception of Mobile Systems) to ensure external optical drive connectivity and interoperability for end users with optical drive requirements. End users requiring external opti
33、cal drives are encouraged to visit the ACES Product Catalog for more information at: http:/aces.ndc.nasa.gov/order.html 1.4.3 Hardware Reference Configurations Added In support of the Targeted Windows 8 Approach three new hardware reference configurations have been added to NASA-STD-2805 FY 2014: a
34、Windows 8 Desktop, a Windows 8 Laptop and a Windows 8 Slate. 2 ACRONYMS AND DEFINITIONS 2.1 Acronyms CAD Computer-Aided Design CRT Cathode Ray Tube EPEAT Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool HDD Hard Disk Drive HRC Hardware Reference Configuration LCD Liquid Crystal Display LED Light Emi
35、tting Diode RPM Revolutions Per Minute SSD Solid-State Drive 2.2 Definitions 2.2.1 End User Computing Device The term End User Computing Device is used generically to refer to traditional desktop systems, as well as laptop computers, notebooks, engineering workstations, mobile form factors, and simi
36、lar platforms that are utilized to provide basic interoperability. 2.2.2 Mobile Engineering Workstation Mobile Engineering Workstation is used to describe high performance systems targeting the scientific, engineering and CAD community in a mobile form factor. Mobile Engineering Workstations are con
37、figured with high performance components and a wider array of ports than typical mainstream offerings. The resulting systems are portable yet typically heavier than their non-engineering peers. Mobile Engineering workstations align with the Mission category of systems and NASA-STD-2805 FY 2014 speci
38、fies three such configurations: The Mac Mobile Engineering Workstation, 15” Mobile Engineering Workstation and the 17” Mobile Engineering workstation. 2.2.3 Slate Computer A slate is a touch oriented computing device whose design omits a permanently attached physical keyboard, to achieve a much ligh
39、ter weight than other form factors. NASA-STD-2805 FY 2014 includes three slate HRCs: the Apple iPad, the Apple iPad Mini, and a Windows 8 Slate offering. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-2.2.4 Tablet Computer A tablet computer is defin
40、ed as a computing device with a physically attached keyboard and a touch screen. Tablets are noteworthy for their light weight and generally smaller display sizes. Hardware innovations such as slates and ultra lightweight laptops with touch screens have encroached on, and minimized the prominence of
41、, the PC Tablet within the market. These marketing pressures are relegating PC Tablets to the category of sunsetting technology. Accordingly, NASA-STD-2805 FY 2014 no longer contains a discrete PC Tablet HRC. 2.2.5 Minimum Workstation To Support Basic Interoperability Workstations that support basic
42、 interoperability are defined by being networked, and by having users who exchange information electronically, including those users that perform any or all of the activities encompassed in the minimum office automation software suite defined below. 2.2.6 Minimum “To Keep” Workstation Hardware Confi
43、guration This category defines the minimum interoperable workstation hardware configuration that may be retained by a NASA organization. 2.2.7 Minimum “To Buy” Workstation Hardware Configuration This category defines the minimum interoperable workstation hardware configuration that may be procured b
44、y a NASA organization. The CIO at each Center is empowered and accountable for determining the performance/cost assessment for configurations that exceed the minimum hardware configuration and its associated cost. The Center CIO will also ensure that obsolete workstations are excessed on a one-for-o
45、ne basis as new workstations are introduced. 2.2.8 Minimum Interoperability Software Suite The Minimum Interoperability Software Suite is defined in NASA-STD-2804 FY 2014, “Minimum Interoperability Software Suite.” 3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Architectural Compliance Requirements NASA maintains a bas
46、elined and approved Information Technology Architecture. The architecture is predicated on: The selection of Standards for a broad and cost-effective infrastructure using commercial off-the-shelf and well-supported open source products to the greatest extent practical- Interoperability both within a
47、nd external to NASA Flexibility for future growth Consistency with generally accepted consensus standards as much as feasible Among these objectives, ensuring interoperability is one of NASAs most critical issues related to information technology. At times, it is in NASAs best interest to specify co
48、mmercial products as standards for an interoperable implementation of a particular set of related and integrated functions. The products themselves often include additional functionality or proprietary extensions not specified by this standard. While these Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-products can be used to create higher-level interoperability solutions, these solutions may not be recognized within the context of the NASA interoperability environment and may be deprecated without wa
