Service Level Agreement
(SLA)
Hybricom, Inc. Service Level Agreement
(SLA):
99.9% monthly network uptime guarantee
2 hour hardware failure response time
Based on a 30 day month and 24 hours per
day.
Network commitment
The Hybricom, Inc. network will be available
99.9% of the time 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week. Any individual or sum of unscheduled
outages exceeding 43.2 minutes per month
as measured by Hybricom, Inc. will constitute
a violation.
Hardware commitment
Available for managed servers only. In the
case of a hardware problem with your managed
server (e.g. hard disk failure, memory,
CPU power supply.) we hold spare componenents
within the data center facilities. In most
cases we are able to replace faulty components
or provision a replacement server within
2 hours. The time determined to bring service
online depends on data migration or restoration
if needed and the managed package used by
client. Example: A "High Availability"
managed package has a quicker recovery time
than a single node managed server in the
event of a hard drive failure.
We will replace failed hardware components
but we are not liable for the loss of data
that results from a hardware failure. Hybricom,
Inc. has backup options available to ensure
data can be restored to the date of the
latest backup. We offer a credit for hardware
faults based upon the time the server was
unavailable to the time the hardware was
replaced. This doesn't include time to restore
data.
Credits
A credit request must be submitted to billing@hybricom.com.
A credit is added to your account with the
amount determined by SLA and will be applied
to the next generated invoice.

result of the following circumstances in
