Proactive service coordination
Stratus will endeavor to work closely with your Linux subscription support provider to resolve Stratus hardware and system software issues. However, only if you purchase your Red Hat support subscription from Stratus, can we provide one-call support and accountability for all your Linux hardware and software support needs.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription services for Stratus ftServer systems
Your choice of coverage
Stratus coverage options meet a spectrum of availability needs cost effectively:
Assured AvailabilitySM Coverage
Assured Availability coverage is your choice when you need high-priority response, but do not require Linux operating system support from Stratus. This plan features: 24/7 engineer response to a critical call within minutes; around-the-clock system monitoring; same-day, on-site emergency service1; management priority escalation; root-cause investigation of hardware and system software issues; an ftServer System Software subscription; and an Assured Availability Program Guarantee (excludes Linux operating system).2
System AvailabilitySM Coverage
This entry-level ftService option meets your needs when your application does not require the highest priority response and you do not require Linux operating system support from Stratus. Coverage includes 24/7 system monitoring with escalation to availability experts during weekday business hours. In addition, a software update subscription keeps you current with the latest advances in ftServer system software.
Warranty Extension
You may also opt to extend your ftServer system’s standard hardware warranty to three years (excludes access to software assistance).
