Verizon’s move to HP infrastructure • HP converged infrastructure − − • Increased utilization Enhanced productivity and flexibility Accelerated business results from People. Soft & Oracle RAC HP Blade. System infrastructure reduced cabling by 81% Modernize with HP expertise − Flexible, innovative applications management − Migrate from proprietary systems to maximum performance & lower costs − Scalable and Highly Available with Oracle RAC • Improved administrator efficiency − − 2 Reduce costs & risks of deployment Accelerate migration and time to upgrade Ensure response times meet SLA’s Performance analysis aids in tuning and provisioning strategy 2/26/2021

Overview Business Challenges • Platform standardization • Reduce cost of acquisition • Reduce Power consumption • Increase Performance • Increase scalability • Increase Availability

Overview Business Challenges HP Solution • Platform • HP Blade. System standardization infrastructure • Reduce cost of • Standard BL 680 c acquisition blade servers • Reduce Power • HP Operations & consumption Performance Agent • Increase • HP Technical Performance Services • Increase scalability • HP Solution • Increase Availability Alliances

Overview Business Challenges HP Solution • Platform • HP Blade. System standardization infrastructure • Reduce cost of • Standard BL 680 c acquisition blade servers • Reduce Power • HP Operations & consumption Performance Agent • Increase • HP Technical Performance Services • Increase scalability • HP Solution • Increase Availability Alliances Business benefits Standardization/Cost • Standard for PSFT + many others (Portal, Vframe, SAP, etc. ) • 55% hardware cost savings • 60% savings in Power consumption Performance • Exceeds SLA of 16 K paygroups per hour • Pacalc completed in less than 1/2 the time Scalability/Availability • Horizontal scalability • Oracle RAC provides near zero downtime

Platform Performance Testing – Environment Staging • Moving DB to new Linux/Oracle RAC environment − Take encrypted copy of Test environment − Copy files to hard drives & ship to Fort Wayne − Decrypt and attach to a matching − Recover & Validate − Oracle came in with O 2 O (Oracle-2 -Oracle) tool to move the data across the network to new environment − Verify database for testing − Backup “golden image” − Attach to Application Servers and Process schedulers − Backup for performance test baseline Verizon Services Operations - Proprietary and Confidential -- © Copyright 2006, Verizon Communications 6
