Access Authorization
Static Data Hosting requires administrative access to the servers to provide server administration and helpdesk logins to work on ticket issues.
Static Data Hosting must also be authorized to contact the data center personnel responsible for hardware maintenance and technical support. Without the appropriate access rights – administrative access and authority to contact the appropriate data center personnel – Static Data Hosting cannot provide the highest quality services.
Response Time vs. Resolution Time
It is critical to understand that response time and resolution time are separate and distinct. Response time is the time it takes to return contact to you and start working on the resolution. Resolution time is the date and time a given problem is resolved or question answered. Because of the potential for third parties and unknown situations, Static Data Hosting cannot provide a guaranteed resolution time when dealing with critical events or down systems. Static Data Hosting is responsible only for the software-level (operating system and application software) operation of servers it is contracted to manage. Static Data Hosting must be notified of all applications that are required to function for the system to be declared “in working order.” Static Data Hosting cannot be held accountable for system downtime caused by hardware failures (e.g., CPU fan issues, disk issues, RAM issues) or connectivity issues.
