ADDITIONAL GRAPHIC ELEMENTS
DPA | ADDITIONAL GRAPHIC ELEMENTS Charming images and the background texture
In order to increase the “liveliness” of communications and other corporate materials and to make them more emotionally saturated, Charming images should be used – DPA images which have been created as part of the brand’s graphic identity. The images can be used with the logo or separately, and they are to be used in accordance with logo usage guidelines. The less official the material, the more the images should be used. The texture of the graphic background is mostly decorative, and it should be used when designing more official and businesslike corporate materials. It can be used with decreasing or increasing density along the vertical of the background

A drastic optimization of costs with Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange
A drastic optimization of costs with Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange
SRS Microsoft Exchange solution in year 2007 consisted of 62 Exchange 5.5 servers that were physically located in 40 different sites. The maintenance of these servers was performed by SRS regional administrators together with the IT staff of SRS Central office. Exchange version 5.5 contains its own directory, where account and mailbox information is kept. This information is mostly duplicated by Active Directory, which served in this case as a register of domain servers and workstations, and accounts and security groups. Such a double accounting in infrastructure with several thousand accounts inevitably leads to incompatibility of information between directories, strange Exchange problems, difficulties to precisely delegate rights to Exchange resources. In the same way the upkeep of the mentioned quantity of servers is related to huge maintenance costs ñ these servers must be kept in well ventilated and cooled premises, as well as secured with UPS power supply facilities, spare parts, controlled accessibility, ensured with a competent servicing staff, care must be taken for a sufficient free space on system and database discs, as well as there have to be installed system patches, taken care of anti-virus software, regular data backups shall be performed and also data restoration from these backups shall be tested on regular basis.
The huge number of domains does not comply with SRS IT infrastructure and business requirements. Maintenance, supervision and control of such an Active Directory infrastructure require unnecessary consumption of time and human resources leading to high expenses. The fact of having too many domain controllers is related to the quantity of domains, i.e., every domain needs at least two domain controllers. The implementation of every domain controller anticipates additional costs of devices, software support, installing and maintenance. The majority of domain controller servers were used for several business applications as well. Such coexistence of roles on a single server is not advisable from the point of view of maintenance, for the problems of one usage frequently entail the failure in the other systems. SRS DHCP infrastructure in year 2008 consisted of 80 DHCP servers and 54 IP subnets. The maintenance of such number of static IP configurations in various combinations on 80 servers is expensive and creates control problems. One of the key problems in SRS Active Directory infrastructure was the complex administrative rights model. In the case of 40 domains where there is one administrator responsible for the specific domain it is very difficult to obtain a unified, safe and sufficiently controlled result.

During the time period from September 2007 until the March 2009 the restructuring of SRS Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Active directories and e-mail systems was performed. At this time the system infrastructure of SRS Active Directory was consolidated from 40 domains infrastructure into 1 domain Active Directory infrastructure. The number of necessary servers was remarkably reduced. The new infrastructure consists of 11 physical Microsoft Exchange server 2007 servers and two Fibre channel type shared disc data array. There are two Exchange mailbox role servers SRSMBX1 and SRSMBX2, which are configured in three servers failover type cluster with shared disk array as the data storage. Client Access Server role is displaced on two servers SRSCAS1 and SRSCAS2 that are configured in NLB type cluster. Similarly the Exchange HUB Transport role is carried by two servers SRSHUB1 and SRSHUB2 that also create NLB cluster. Exchange Edge Server role servers SRSEDGE1 and SRSEDGE2 are placed in DMZ, on its turn Microsoft ISA server 2006 servers SRSISA1 and SRSISA2 are responsible for publishing of Exchange Outlook Web Access and Outlook Mobile Access services to distant SRS users. Microsoft does not support a direct transition from version 5.5 to 2007. Because of this fact the migration was done with Quest Exchange Migration Wizard. With the aid of this software the coexistence was created between the old and the new Exchange infrastructures and afterwards the Exchange mailboxes were migrated. During the course of the project there was performed an overall study and documentation of the old infrastructure, a due planning and development of various versions of the new infrastructure, as well as designing of the chosen version, prior-migration works testing, migration to the new infrastructure and in the end of the project a training of SRS administrators and presentation of solution planning and design documents. SRS Microsoft Active Directory rebuilding Upon the end of SRS Exchange restructuring project the SRS Microsoft Active Directory rebuilding and consolidation project begun. It lasted from August 2008 up to April 2009, and the works were performed by a project manager and two consultants. Consultants of Microsoft Latvia also were involved.

SRS Microsoft Exchange system in year 2007 ñ morally outdated, unsupported version, unstable in operation, complex and expensive from the point of view of maintenance, a system incompliant with today's requirements.
The greatest deficiencies of this system were too many domains, too many domain controllers, a complex and decentralized DHCP infrastructure, hardly controllable security and administrative rights policy.

Case Study State Revenue Service of Latvia
A drastic optimization of costs with Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange State Revenue Service of Latvia
SRS Microsoft Exchange solution in year 2007 consisted of 62 Exchange 5.5 servers that were physically located in 40 different sites. The maintenance of these servers was performed by SRS regional administrators together with the IT staff of SRS Central office. Exchange version 5.5 contains its own directory, where account and mailbox information is kept. This information is mostly duplicated by Active Directory, which served in this case as a register of domain servers and workstations, and accounts and security groups. Such a double accounting in infrastructure with several thousand accounts inevitably leads to incompatibility of information between directories, strange Exchange problems, difficulties to precisely delegate rights to Exchange resources. In the same way the upkeep of the mentioned quantity of servers is related to huge maintenance costs ñ these servers must be kept in well ventilated and cooled premises, as well as secured with UPS power supply facilities, spare parts, controlled accessibility, ensured with a competent servicing staff, care must be taken for a sufficient free space on system and database discs, as well as there have to be installed system patches, taken care of anti-virus software, regular data backups shall be performed and also data restoration from these backups shall be tested on regular basis. Microsoft Windows server and Microsoft Exchange server licenses converted in terms of money creates a conception of the scope of financial investment necessary in development of this system. SRS Active Directory SRS Microsoft Active Directory system in year 2008 was mainly decentralized. The structure of this system was

and 39 subdomains, totaling to 40 domains. Directory as a whole consisted of 112 domain controllers which were located in differed premises of SRS in Riga and regional offices. Major part of these servers was configured as DNS and DHCP servers. The greatest deficiencies of this system were too many domains, too many domain controllers, a complex and decentralized DHCP infrastructure, hardly controllable security and administrative rights policy. The huge number of domains does not comply with SRS IT infrastructure and business requirements. Maintenance, supervision and control of such an Active Directory infrastructure require unnecessary consumption of time and human resources leading to high expenses. The fact of having too many domain controllers is related to the quantity of domains, i.e., every domain needs at least two domain controllers. The implementation of every domain controller anticipates additional costs of devices, software support, installing and maintenance. The majority of domain controller servers were used for several business applications as well. Such coexistence of roles on a single server is not advisable from the point of view of maintenance, for the problems of one usage frequently entail the failure in the other systems.

SRS infrastructure consolidation project was valuable professional challange either from technical or project management point of view. Many high class Microsoft specialists were involved in project team and we are proud of the great results and this international prize for excellence” SRS Microsoft Exchange restructuring During the time period from September 2007 until the March 2009 the restructuring of SRS Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Active directories and e-mail systems was performed. At this time the system infrastructure of SRS Active Directory was consolidated from 40 domains infrastructure into 1 domain Active Directory infrastructure. The number of necessary servers was remarkably reduced. The new infrastructure consists of 11 physical Microsoft Exchange server 2007 servers and two Fibre channel type shared disc data array. There are two Exchange mailbox role servers SRSMBX1 and SRSMBX2, which are configured in three servers failover type cluster with shared disk array as the data storage. Client Access Server role is displaced on two servers SRSCAS1 and SRSCAS2 that are configured in NLB type cluster. Similarly the Exchange HUB Transport role is carried by two servers SRSHUB1 and SRSHUB2 that also create NLB cluster. Exchange Edge Server role servers SRSEDGE1 and SRSEDGE2 are placed in DMZ, on its turn Microsoft ISA server 2006 servers SRSISA1 and SRSISA2 are responsible for publishing of Exchange Outlook Web Access and Outlook Mobile Access services to distant SRS users. Microsoft does not support a direct transition from version 5.5 to 2007. Because of this fact the migration was done with Quest Exchange Migration Wizard. With the aid of this software the coexistence was created between the old and the new Exchange infrastructures and afterwards the Exchange mailboxes were migrated.

and afterwards the Exchange mailboxes were migrated. During the course of the project there was performed an overall study and documentation of the old infrastructure, a due planning and development of various versions of the new infrastructure, as well as designing of the chosen version, prior-migration works testing, migration to the new infrastructure and in the end of the project a training of SRS administrators and presentation of solution planning and design documents. SRS Microsoft Active Directory rebuilding Upon the end of SRS Exchange restructuring project the SRS Microsoft Active Directory rebuilding and consolidation project begun. It lasted from August 2008 up to April 2009, and the works were performed by a project manager and two consultants. Consultants of Microsoft Latvia also were involved. The project as a whole consisted of four stages. • Pre-planning stage, where information in a manner of surveying and technical methods was gathered and analyzed regarding the Active Directory infrastructure and related systems; • Planning stage, where the concept of the new infrastructure was developed and presented, planning and design documents created and a voluminous testing of the chosen migration solution performed in virtual environment, by using the backup copy of the production SRS directory; • Implementation stage, which consisted of development of the new infrastructure, resource migration and liquidation of the old infrastructure. • Finalization stage during which DPA developed and submitted the documents of disaster recovery and backup-restore procedures of SRS Active Directory, as well as carried out the training of administrators.

The aforementioned usage of the basic elements of our graphic identity must be used in communications materials. It is also essential to see the thoughts that are to be communicated, the properties of the product, and the clarity of other information be seen as a priority. For this reason, the recommendation is to emphasise a visual way of presenting information by making use of the Charming images and the texture of the background while also minimising the amount of text in the relevant material. Each material should contain ONE thought/idea so as to ensure the comprehensibility of the information that is communicated. The material must be addressed to a SPECIFIC and pre-determined target audience.

DPA | PRESENTATION MATERIALS General description
DPA presentation materials are designed in accordance with the aforementioned principles on the use of basic graphic elements. Because the content and goals of presentation materials are very diverse, there are no strict guidelines on their preparation. The minimal element in this is the basic DPA logo, which should be placed in a visible location. The visual impression can be enhanced and the brand can be communicated by the use of other basic graphic elements, and their use is recommended. This chapter contains examples of the most typical presentation materials and their formation.

DPA | OUTDOOR ELEMENTS Guidelines for installing exhibition stands
The aim of DPA exhibition stands is to communicate the brand and to support the sale of products. The basic graphic elements of the company should be used in designing stands, also taking into account the functional aspects of each specific stand. There can be various design solutions which depend on the size of the stand. The following guidelines are recommended: - Accessibility and openness: Easily accessible for visitors with easily perceived basic information (a description of DPA operations in a laconic format). - Attracting attention: For instance, a distance navigation element (a “tower� that is 3-5 m high) is part of the stand. - Interactivity: The tower can have a screen with specific information that is broadcast so as to ensure more attractive and active presentation of specific services.
