We use only
top quality servers, switches, and routers. This translates
into great reliability and uptime. As a result, within
our own server farm and facilities that are under
our own control and management, we guarantee that
our network will be up and functioning 99.5% of the
time per month. We also have a 100% Data Center systems
uptime guarantee.
To be eligible
for this SLA, your account must be in good standing.
All requests for credit should be made to the billing
department with a copy of your initial support ticket
included.
Network Guarantee
We guarantee
that the network will be available 99.5% of the time
in a given month (this does not include functionality
of software/services on a server), excluding scheduled
maintenance. If network downtime exceeds 0.5% the
customer will be refunded 10% of their monthly fee
for every 60 minutes of downtime, up to 100% of the
customer's monthly fee.
Network uptime includes functioning of all network
infrastructure including routers, switches and cabling,
but does not include services or software running
on your server.
We are not responsible for outages or circumstances
beyond our control that hinder access to your site
or server. The following are excluded from the monthly
calculation of Service Level:
- Scheduled downtime or maintenance
- Traffic conditions on the internet
- ISP or local problems such as Browser or DNS caching
- DDoS, Attacks, Exploits or hacked servers
- An outage from an upstream facility outside of our
network
- Interruptions or failure of individual service caused
by client, their employees, client's customers, friends
or family, to their service.
- Inaccurate installation or configuration of software
by the client or non-Rose Web Services LLC staff,
3rd party software, client abuse or over utilization
of resources.
Data
Center (NOC) Guarantee
We guarantee
that the critical systems, including power, HVAC and
Dry Fire Suppression Systems, will be available 100%
of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled
maintenance. We will refund the customer 10% of the
monthly fee for each 60 minutes of downtime (up to
100% of customer's monthly fee).
Critical systems include functioning of all power
and HVAC infrastructure including UPSs, PDUs and cabling,
but does not include the power supplies on customers'
servers. NOC downtime exists when a particular server
is shut down due to power or heat problems and we
record such a failure in the support ticketing system.
Hardware
Guarantee
We guarantee
the functioning of all hardware components and will
replace any failed component as soon as possible.
Hardware replacement will begin once we identify the
cause of the problem. Hardware replacement is guaranteed
to be completed within 2 hours of problem identification.
This guarantee of 2 hours does not include additional
actions such as software installations, OS reinstalling,
or other data or backup services. In the event that
it takes us more than 2 hours to replace faulty hardware,
we will refund the customer 10% of the monthly fee
for each 60 minutes of downtime (up to 100% of customer's
monthly fee).
Hardware is
defined as the Processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s), motherboard,
NIC card and other related hardware.
Occasionally
servers and systems must be brought down for routine
maintenance and upgrades to ensure that your service
will perform optimally. However, we strive to keep
such service interruptions to a minimum, and, when
possible, give you advance notice of any scheduled
maintenance. Scheduled service outages do not qualify
for this guarantee!
Additionally, this guarantee is your remedy for any
unscheduled downtime of more than the limits outlined
above. Downtime must be confirmed by a staff member
in our support system. Maximum credit given will not
exceed the amount of the charge for the customer service
with us. The credit will be applied to your invoice
on your next due date. Downtime is measured from the
time the customer records such failure in the support
ticketing system and until a resolution is provided
for that ticket.
