Severity Definitions

Nasuni Customer Support aligns service levels with the following case severity definitions.

Severity Impact Service Level
1. Urgent Nasuni appliance or service is down, unable to provide access to data, in a frequent or repeating “Panic” or “Hang,” or in a state of degraded performance that prevents normal business operations. Within two (2) hours of receiving the problem report, Nasuni will initiate a problem assessment. Continuous follow-up will occur at regular intervals as long as the case remains open. If the problem cannot be reproduced or diagnosed, the response will indicate such and recommend actions to help in the diagnosis, which may include requests for additional information. Continuous effort will be made until the case is resolved through a workaround, hot fix, and/or product patch or update.
2. High Nasuni appliance or service is experiencing an infrequent, isolated, or intermittent “Panic” or “Hang,” or is in a state of degraded performance that allows business operations to continue, but at an inconsistent or sub-optimal rate. Within two (2) business hours of receiving the problem report, Nasuni will initiate a problem assessment. Continuous follow-up will occur at regular intervals as long as the case remains open. If the problem cannot be reproduced or diagnosed, the response will indicate such and recommend actions to help in the diagnosis, which may include requests for additional information. Continuous effort will be made until the case is resolved through a work- around, hot fix, and/or product patch or update.
3. Important Nasuni appliance or service is experiencing an issue, anomaly, or cosmetic defect that causes little or no business impact, and a viable and mutually agreeable workaround or upgrade exists to mitigate the problem. Within four (4) business hours of receiving the problem report, Nasuni will initiate a problem assessment. Follow-up will occur at regular intervals as long as the case remains open. If the problem cannot be reproduced or diagnosed, the response will indicate such and recommend actions to help in the diagnosis, which may include requests for additional information. The case will remain open until resolved in a future release.
4. Normal Requests for information regarding the installation, configuration, use, and maintenance of Nasuni, in- cluding administrative inquiries and return materials authorization (RMA) information. There is no impact to production systems or business operations. Within one (1) business day of receiving the problem report, Nasuni will initiate a problem assessment. Follow-up will occur at regular intervals as long as the case remains open. If the problem cannot be reproduced or diagnosed, the response will indicate such and recommend actions to help in the diagnosis, which may include requests for additional information. The case will remain open until resolved in a future release.
