Upgrade Installation – Refers to the resources required to install any new hardware products or software releases onto an already existing PAN system.
Upgrade Preparation – Refers to the resources required to determine compatibility and review potential risks with a planned upgrade path.
* All Egenera replacements are done as an advanced exchange where an Egenera-owned spare is shipped to the customer according to the SLA so that a failed part can be replaced before it is de-installed to minimize potential outage. Replacement parts do not become customer property until the defective part is received by Egenera, prior to that customer is responsible for the return or purchase of Egenera spare within 30 days.
** Timing represents a minimal committed SLA from time Egenera establishes need. However exact date and time of dispatch depends on customer’s ability to consume those services and the local time.
All Egenera service contracts are charged on an annual pre-paid basis. Services can be upgrading or changed within a contract or during a renewal upon written notice however certain additional charges may apply. Re-instating service after coverage has lapsed is subject to a fee.
