Each service plan provides support for AWS Elemental appliance hardware or AWS Elemental software, depending on products and services covered under the purchased service plan. PRODUCTS ELIGIBLE FOR AWS ELEMENTAL SERVICE PLANS Service Plan Types Eligible Products (applies to both Appliance Edition and Software Edition) AWS Elemental Server Enhanced AWS Elemental Live and AWS Elemental Conductor Premier AWS Elemental Stream AWS Elemental Delta To learn more about customer support for AWS Services in the AWS Console, see AWS Support Plans. ENHANCED SERVICE If you need product support beyond initial installation and configuration, the AWS Elemental Enhanced Service is your best option. This plan provides hardware and software support for up to a year. This includes full access to the AWS Elemental Support Center, which hosts technical support services including support case management and hundreds of how to, troubleshooting, and reference articles for AWS Elemental appliances. In addition, Enhanced Service includes 24 x 7 support and access to major software releases throughout the support period. PREMIER SERVICE If you need the highest level of support services that AWS Elemental has to offer, AWS Elemental Premier Service is designed for you. In addition to offering the services provided by Enhanced Service, Premier Service includes improved response time and resolution targets, tighter targets for parts replacement, advance parts exchange, regular business check-ins, and faster timelines for on-site support services for emergency production issues. AWS ELEMENTAL “PLUS” ADD-ON PACKAGE FOR ENHANCED AND PREMIER In addition to the AWS Elemental Service Plans, AWS Elemental also offers the “Plus” add-on package for Enhanced and Premier Services. The Enhanced+ and Premier+ options include assigning you an AWS Elemental Technical Account Manager. The Technical Account Manager (TAM) acts as a point of contact for general technical engagement with AWS Elemental Services teams. The TAM checks in with you on a regularly scheduled basis (typically, bi-weekly or monthly) and oversees Professional Services engagements. TAMs are generally assigned to no more than 4-6 accounts, ensuring proactive management of technical services activities. If you are interested in the “Plus” Add-on Package, please reach out to our sales team for more information. © 2021 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates.
