Description  :

Revenue Department (RD) is the highest tax collection agency under the Ministry of finance in Thailand. Its responsibilities are to collect and administer the taxes. Revenue Department has been using IBM mainframe for past 10 years for their IT requirements. These applications were developed using Cobol and SQL/DS. The existing applications are in batch and do not provide much data retrieval capability to assist auditors in data processing or audit criteria to tax returns. The government embarked on a program to modernize the Revenue Department by employing new technology. Two of the applications, Value Added Tax (VAT) and Special Business Tax (SBT) are being re-developed in J2EE environment. The project involves full software development life cycle i.e. Requirements Study, Detail Design, Development, System test and Implementation. The system requires handling of large volume of data related to filing of tax returns. For this reason, the project requires a specified performance criterion to be met. The tax calculations are complex and the system requires interfaces with various other applications. The prototyping approach is being followed for capturing the user requirements. As these applications are for the government department, the user interfaces (screens and reports) are going to be in Thai language. The project involves translation of user interfaces in Thai after the development of the system in English. The application will be designed and developed based on multi-tier architecture. The application will use a browser based thin client that will display forms and menus. The client will forward all its requests to the web server, which will service the request related to the display using either Java Server Pages (JSP) or HTML files. The request that relate to database processing or application logic will be forwarded to VAT / SBT application server. This server will use Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) to service these requests. In case the business / application logic require access to the data, the data will be accessed from the database server using JDBC. The following application development tools are being used in the project:

The above tools conform to the latest standards in Java Technologies. IBM WebSphere application development environment is fully compliant with the current J2EE specifications. IBM WebSphere application server is the most popular and comprehensive application server and supports the latest specifications of JDK, JSP, Servlets and EJB. It also supports fully the JMS and RMI/IIOP protocols.

The Directory Services System (DSS) is a software package to provide an on-line information directory. It gives an easy access to stored information in the same way as the printed telephone directory but is much more efficient. DSS provides a distributed directory database which is based on the Consultative Committee for International Telephony and Telegraphy (CCITT) X.500.In DSS there are a number of servers known as Directory System Agents which each hold a portion of the total directory. The DSAs communicate between each other, using an X.500 defined protocol called Directory System Protocol. DSP enables directory requests to be conveyed around a network of DSAs. Users access the directory via a Directory User Agent (DUA). A DUA communicates with a DSA, using an X.500 defined protocol called the Directory Access Protocol (DAP). Usually a DUA will communicate with the nearest DSA, but it has the option of connecting to any DSA in the directory. The database display is organised in compliance with telephone industry standards of alphabetisation. The complete database is partitioned, placing Business, Residence and Government listings in separate groupings. Special provision is made so that certain entries (e.g. doctors) can be retrieved with either a Residence or Business search. This arrangement greatly simplifies database searches. The database is further oriented to use of locality identification. Another feature of the database is the capability to utilise special groups/lists other than Business, Residence and Government. These specialised groups/lists can be Emergency Numbers, Frequently Called Numbers etc. The main directory database is distributed and can reside on several host systems. The software was being developed on Unix SVR4 operating system using ANSI C language.

The existing network at DSE was designed over five years ago with the technology in place at the time. The technology available today has vastly changed the senario of access & control to networks, specially so for the financial sector where security, up time and scalability are crucial to the viability of the organisation. We identified the following areas of concern in DSE's existing network: No provision to identify and restrict the users to one IP address. There is every possibility of duplication of an IP address on the network. Possibility of duplication of the IP address of the Tandem Server leading to a complete shut down of the system. No single point of network management and control. Uncontrolled addition of devices like hubs, switches, routers etc. without a unified plan changing the network topology thereby, increasing the load on the system and degrading the network performance. No Directory Service available to manage the network and its resources. No way to detect and prevent unwanted broadcast, which may arise due to faulty Network Interface Cards. Also, no provision to prevent Frame Errors and data corruption. No way to prevent access of unauthorized users to the network resources. Remote connectivity via Dial-up and VSAT not secure. To address all security issues and future expansion plans including shifting to new premises at Asaf Ali Road, the solution proposed was built with minimal changes in the current set up. The best solution was one, which does not alter the current set up and guarantees 100% security of the network. However, the existing shared hub based network would have several drawbacks, which could be overcome only by opting for a switch-based network incorporating Sandards based Layer 3 Security. Some of the advantages of such a change were as follows: A 100% secure network through mapping of Port, IP and MAC addresses, hence preventing unauthorised access to the network resources. Providing Firewall & Radius Security for remote (V-SAT & dial-up) users. Minimum number of points of failure on the network in case of Chassis based solutions. Standards based (not proprietory) Layer 3 security in a box. Greater scalability. Higher port density, providing options for Gigabit technology. Complete redundancy across the LAN. High bandwidth of 400 Mbps at the Network backbone, providing higher throughput to all connected member brokers and decongestion of network traffic. Connection of all Servers to the network on 100 Mbps links. Providing network management & control features (currently non-existent), right down to the member-brokers PC. Our solution revolved around two CB9000, Layer 3 Switches with 16-slot chassis - one each in the DSE House (New Building) and the DSE Old Building in a manner, which provided a single point of management and control. These chassis were loaded with redundant power supplies, redundant 48 Gbps switching fabric & redundant Layer 3 switching module - giving fault tolerance on each module. The 48 Gbps switch fabric with 56 Mpps layer 3 switching module, switches the traffic at wire speed. The Layer 3 modules used in the two chassis are 10 port 10/100 fibre modules. The two buildings are connected over 4 x 10/100 links over fibre links such that four cores from each fibre are used to connect to two ports at the two Layer 3 fibre modules at the two chassis & tagging the four ports in a single logical link giving 800 Mbps throughput on Full Duplex. The four links would act as fault tolerant links to each other, such that in the event of one link failing, the others would still work. For LAN connectivity, there is a provision for 396 number of 10/100 Tx ports in DSE House and 288 10/100 ports in the DSE Old Building. The design further provides for fault tolerance of all servers, in event of the unlikely failure of one module while keeping them all in a single VLAN. Checkpoint is used for Network Security as the Firewall on redundant Sun UltraSparc Servers connecting the two VLANs - one for Servers and the other for LAN/WAN (dial-up) users. This arrangement gave a secure environment where all dial-in users and local Trader Work Stations & internal LAN clients get authenticated first and then go through the Firewall to access the servers. The Network Management was provided by utilizing Bullsoft's Open Master a leading Enterprise Management Software having more than 32000 installations globally. This modular software provided for IP Discovery, LAN/WAN control, alarms, statistics, software delivery, Help Desk, user management and software back-up. Using this software DSE would be able to centrally monitor traffic & new devices on various segments, network utilization, failure statistics, trend analysis, alarms etc. Further, DSE would be able to carry out software delivery, installation and configuration on local as well as remote machines; define & customize user menus and reports; measure application & network response times; define, monitor and dynamically control Service Level Agreements.
