Service Level Agreement
NETWORK UPTIME GUARANTEE
Netnhost guarantees that the network will be available 99.9% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. If Network Availability does not meet our 99.9% uptime guarantee, credits will be made available to each client on a case by case basis, not to exceed 50% of their base monthly fee. Network uptime includes all network infrastructure including routers and switches but does not include services or software running on the client’s server. Network downtime exists when a customer is unable to send data to or receive from a server in our network and such failure is entered into our Trouble Ticket System. This downtime must be confirmed by our own monitoring services.
POWER AVAILABILITY GUARANTEE
Netnhost guarantees 100% uninterrupted electricity in a given month. If 100% uninterrupted electricity is not met, credits will be made available to each client on a case by case basis, not to exceed 50% of their base monthly fee. Power availability includes power from UPS’s to each individual rack but does not include power supplies on individual servers.
EXCEPTIONS
- Delinquent customers.
- Scheduled maintenance.
- Any networks or network equipment not owned or controlled by Netnhost.
- Customers in breach of Netnhost’s Terms and Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy.
