Services will be made available via one or more of the following levels:

Common Features

The following features are available in all Device Management packages.

(a) Support

This feature is intended to support standard functionality of the Services. Advanced functionality or support is not provided with this feature. Single Point Global shall be the sole party responsible for defining which issues shall be classified as incidents and treated based on the “Incident Support” feature.

(iv) Remote Support: Remote support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Remote Device support requires Telnet or SSH connectivity to Device being supported.

(b) Basic Monitoring

Basic up/down monitoring is performed on Customer Device. Up/down status is determined based on ICMP polling which is performed every one (1) minutes. Each up/down test is performed by sending two ICMP packets to the Customer’s Device(s).

If any ICMP packet is returned to the monitoring server in less than two (2) seconds the Customer Device is considered to be up and the network path is considered to be fully available. No alert will be sent.

If neither ICMP packet is returned to the monitoring server then Customer Device will be considered down. An alert will be sent to Single Point Global and/or to an email contact defined by the Customer.

This feature requires ICMP access to the Customer Device. Customer is responsible for working with Single Point Global to ensure that Customer Device responds to ICMP packets.

This feature includes a single up/down test. Additional tests may be available at additional cost.

(c) Network Usage Reporting

Network utilization reports are made available to Customer in the form of a graph. This network utilization graph will be updated based on SNMP polling of the Ethernet switch port directly attached to the Customer Device.

Customer graphs will be updated every five (5) minutes and each value will be an average reflecting the previous five (5) minutes.

This feature requires SNMP read-only access to the remotely manageable switch(es) to which the Customer Device is directly attached. Single Point Global shall be responsible for providing and maintaining the Device configuration required to support this feature. Single Point Global shall not be responsible for any configuration or modifications external to the Device required to support this feature.

This feature includes reporting on up to two (2) interfaces. Additional tests may be available at additional cost. Each interface will be graphed separately.

(d) Operating System Patching

This feature includes the scheduled application of vendor recommended patches to the base Operating System on an “as-needed” basis.

If patches are classified urgent by vendor due to a security risk; or if Customer requests that a patch be classified urgent then Single Point Global will perform an emergency patch during next scheduled Emergency Maintenance window.

Single Point Global will not apply third party patches to Operating System, patches to applications, patches to software or software library patches as part of this Service.

If patching performed during previously agreed upon custom patching schedule and if Customer has agreed upon reboots after patching then Single Point Global shall reboot Device without any further notification to Customer. If patching performed outside of a Scheduled Maintenance window requires a reboot of Customer Device then Single Point Global will make a reasonable effort to contact Customer. If Customer cannot be reached after such reasonable effort then Single Point Global reserves the right to reboot Customer Device without further notification.

Any outage caused by application of operating system patches performed as part of this feature shall not be grounds for any SLA credit. Customer agrees to not hold Single Point Global responsible for any unanticipated side effects or issues caused by this feature.

Customer is responsible for checking status of Device and applications after such patches are applied. Upon discovery by Customer of any abnormality Single Point Global will provide assistance in backing out any such patches.

SCHEDULE A-2
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

General

Single Point Global will be the sole party to determine whether Single Point Global has not met any of the Services Level Agreements (SLA) specified herein. Single Point Global reserves the right to change or discontinue any or all of the SLAs detailed below at any time without notice to the Customer.

SLAs

Services Level Agreements (or SLAs) define availability, performance and other requirements of Services provisioning and delivery.

In no event shall the total amount of credit issued to Customer’s account on a per-month basis exceed 50% of the total monthly recurring charge (“MRC”) associated with the impacted portion of the Service set forth in the Sales Order. Service interruptions will not be aggregated for purposes of determining credit allowances. To qualify, Customer must request the Credit from Single Point Global within thirty (30) days of the interruption. Customer will not be entitled to any additional credits for Service Interruptions. Single Point Global shall not be liable for any Liability caused by force majeure events, Planned Service Interruptions or Customer actions, omission or equipment.
