Operating System: GN Infosys
will perform the initial installation and test of any supported
operating system, at no additional cost. GN Infosys supported
operating systems currently include: Red HatT Linux 7+,
FreeBSDT 4+, MandrakeT Linux 7+, WindowsT 2000 Server, &
WindowsT Server 2003. GN Infosys will install and test,
with customer permission, any and all operating system security
and functionality patches, upon customer request, for GN
Infosys supported operating systems. Re-installation of
any server, for reasons other than hardware failure or hacked/compromised
software, will be billed at a rate of $65/hour. GN Infosys
will assist with troubleshooting and repairing basic operating
system problems for supported operating systems. This includes
basic advice on functionality and use of the supported operating
systems. Support may be limited in regards to custom operating
system configurations, for those clients choosing not to
utilize CPanelT (.or operating systems that do not support
CPanelT), for configurations that CPanelT would have pre-installed/pre-configured,
if the client would have chosen to install CPanelT.
CPanelT: GN Infosys will perform
the initial installation and test of the CPanelT software
for any server ordered with such. If a managed server includes
CPanelT, GN Infosys will support, free of charge, CPanelT
related problems and issues. This includes, but is not limited
to, support of basic CPanelT functions (ie: adding/removing
accounts, dns functions, backup management, etc.) and limited
support of CPanelT-installed 3rd party software (ie: proftpd,
pureftpd, mailman, agora). GN Infosys will not provide support
regarding CPanelT, or any of its' 3rd party software inclusions,
regarding issues of software bugs or failure, and such issues
should be brought to the attention of the software vendors
directly for support.
HARDWARE
Maintenance and Replacement:
If any hardware component on a GN Infosys supplied server
fails, we will replace it free of charge, within timeframes
specified in the Service Level Agreement (SLA). All operating
systems, supported and non-supported, as well as software
installed prior by GN Infosys, will be re-installed at no
additional cost to the client, in the case of failed hardware.
For information regarding system restoration beyond the
operating system and software, please see the section in
the document entitled "Data Recovery/Backups".
Hardware Upgrades: Information
on installation/setup fees and/or monthly fees for hardware
upgrades is available at http://www.gninfosys.com/dedicateds.html.
Upgrading hard drives to a different size or type of drive,
requiring the transfer of data and/or operating system and
software re-installation, will be billed at a rate of $65/hour.
DATA RECOVERY/BACKUPS
Hardware Failure: GN Infosys
always recommends purchasing a backup drive/service with
any and all servers. All operating systems, supported and
non-supported, as well as software installed prior by GN
Infosys, will be re-installed at no additional cost to the
client, in the case of failed hardware. If a backup drive
exists, and the client was performing their own backups
without GN Infosys or CPanelT supplied backup software enabled
on the backup drive, GN Infosys will re-install the operating
system and software previously installed by GN Infosys,
on a new hard drive, and attempt to leave the backup drive
and/or defective drive in place for the customer to retrieve/restore
data. If a backup drive exists, and GN Infosys or CPanelT
supplied backup software was enabled on the backup drive,
GN Infosys will re-install the operating system and software
previously installed by GN Infosys, on a new hard drive,
and will assist with restoration of the CPanelT and/or user
data. GN Infosys cannot guarantee full or even partial recovery
of data from a failed drive, but will work to the limit
of their abilities to restore data from the failed hardware.
If a backup drive does not exist in the server, GN Infosys
will re-install the operating system and software previously
installed by GN Infosys, on a new hard drive, and attempt
to leave the defective drive in place for the customer to
retrieve/restore data.
Software Failure and Hacked/Compromised
Operating Systems: GN Infosys always recommends purchasing
a backup drive/service with any and all servers. All operating
systems, supported and non-supported, as well as software
installed prior by GN Infosys, will be re-installed at no
additional cost to the client, in the case of a server suffering
software bugs or operating system compromise. If a backup
drive exists, and the client was performing their own backups
without GN Infosys or CPanelT supplied backup software enabled
on the backup drive, GN Infosys will re-install the operating
system and software previously installed by GN Infosys,
on a new hard drive, and attempt to leave the backup drive
and/or bug-ridden/compromised drive in place for the customer
to retrieve/restore data. If a backup drive exists, and
GN Infosys or CPanelT supplied backup software was enabled
on the backup drive, GN Infosys will re-install the operating
system and software previously installed by GN Infosys,
on a new hard drive, and will assist with restoration of
the CPanelT and/or user data. GN Infosys cannot guarantee
full or even partial recovery of data from a bug-ridden/compromised
drive, but will work to the limit of their abilities to
restore data from the bug-ridden/compromised system. If
a backup drive does not exist in the server, GN Infosys
will re-install the operating system and software previously
installed by GN Infosys, on a new hard drive, and attempt
to leave the bug-ridden/compromised drive in place for the
customer to retrieve/restore data.
GENERAL
Monitoring: GN Infosys will
monitor a single port on each server, to verify that the
server is operational. The default port that is monitored
is HTTP (Port 80), however, on servers that do not respond
to such, monitoring is performed via another port. Available
monitoring ports are HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and PING. The customer
may request that a specific port is monitored, rather than
the GN Infosys default selection. Monitoring of multiple
ports may be available at an additional cost. If a server
fails to respond to the monitored port, GN Infosys will
attempt to check the status of the server via another port.
GN Infosys will automatically reboot servers that fail to
respond after a second tested port fails. If the second
tested port responds properly, GN Infosys will attempt to
log into the server to restore/restart service on the initial
failed port that was being monitored. It is the client's
responsibility to update GN Infosys any time that the root
password is changed on a server, otherwise GN Infosys will
be unable to restore/restart failed monitored services automatically,
and will not be held liable for failing to do such.
The following services are
not included in GN Infosys managed support, however, are
available as "Abnormal Support" billed at a rate of $65/hour:
1. Non-supported operating system installation/configuration/troubleshooting.
2. Operating system reinstallation, for reasons other than
failed hardware or hacked/compromised software.
3. Custom software installation: GN Infosys may, at their
discretion, assist with custom 3rd party software installation;
however, the software will not be supported past installation.
4. Upgrading hard drives to a different size or type of
drive, requiring the transfer of data and/or operating system
and software re-installation.
5. Any and all work performed for non-managed and/or co-location
clients.
* Contact GN INFOSYS for any
item/service not explicitly detailed.
