Service Hours

Expert Service Hours, available to a customer, are now standardized at 24 hours per quarter. This replaces the previous tiered structure based on yearly committed revenue.

Expert Services provided are subject to availability under a fair-usage policy. Hours not consumed in a given quarter of the year do not roll over to the following quarter, and hours from future quarters cannot be used in advance.


Extended load testing

Premium Support can be supplemented by extended load testing.

Baseline load tests

Both standard and extended load testing include up to five tests per week, 30 minutes at standard load.

Peak load tests

  • Standard load testing includes one test per quarter for a total of three hours, at 50% higher than expected peak load.
  • Extended load testing includes two tests per quarter for a total of three hours each, at 100% higher than expected peak load.

Premium Support will be provided for the term and fees as set out in the customer order form. Except for the specific terms set out above, all other definitions, terms, conditions, and exclusions set forth in the Standard Support and Service Level Agreement shall also apply to Premium Support.
