Parties Involved

Infrastructure

For this agreement to be binding the client must ensure that the environment adheres to the following conditions.

1) The version(s) of Tomcat must be of release quality according to the developers of Tomcat. Modifications by the third party to the software will invalidate this support agreement.

2) The operating system must be of production quality, the following operation systems are actively supported. Please contact Name On The Net if support is required for an operating system not listed below.

3) The host JVM chosen to run Tomcat must be of production quality, we recommend the Sun Microsystemstm JVM implementation.

Service Delivery Process

When issues arise, the third party's named contact(s) will contact Name On The Net by their preferred medium offering a clear explanation of the incident which requires resolution and classify the impact it is having on business. The types of incident can be broken down into the following:

  • Emergency - Issues where the Third parties main operations cannot be carried out
  • Impacting Business - Impacting business negatively
  • Cosmetic - Business process unhindered
The actual time frames involved during the incident managmenet process will be determined by the level of support taken out by the third pary. In situations where the issue cannot be immediately resolved, first line support will provide an indication of fix time. If the issue is not resolved within this timeframe then the issue will be escalated to a resident consultant who will regularly liaise with the third party until the issue is resolved.

Escalation

Upon successful completion of contract signing Name On The Net will assign a consultant who will handle your support requirements. In the event of issues needing escalation, your support consultant must be informed of the reasons why the issue needs escalation.

User Responsibilities

The third party is responsible for completing a systems questionnaire upon the sign off of a support contact. Details of operating system, installed JVM(s) and Tomcat versions must be provided. Modifications to infrastructure during the time of the contract must be relayed on to Name On The Net. Failure to do so may lead to a deterioration in service. When raising an incident, the Third pary is reponsible for providing sufficient details for Name On The Net to identity the problem, failure to do so may lead to increased resolution times.

Remote Support

Under the discretion of the third party Name On The Net can provide remote support using a secure channel (SSH / Windows Remote Terminal) allowing Name On The Net support consultants to remotely manage the third party's server. Name On The Net will agree to sign any required confidentiality agreement / non disclosure agreement. Name On The Net accept no responsibilty for any breaches of security which may arise from allowing remote access.

On Site Support

If an outstanding issue cannot be resolved remotely via the standard incident process Name On The Net can provide on-site consultancy at £400 per day.

Reporting/Review of Service

In order for third parties to evaluate the level of service being received, the service will be reviewed annually.
