The highest tier of Penguin Solutions support — providing top-priority critical situation management, a formal Uptime Guarantee, full OS support including root cause analysis, emergency onsite response, vendor collaboration on complex multi-party issues, and engineer response to critical calls within minutes, 24/7/365.
A comprehensive support plan that provides around-the-clock system monitoring, engineer response to critical calls within two hours, remote monitoring and troubleshooting, Stratus AUL - Smart Exchange software subscription, and Advanced Parts Exchange — designed for organisations that require high availability without the full premium of Total Assurance.
Penguin Solutions engineers monitor customer systems remotely 24/7/365 via the secure global Stratus ASN — using data from the Stratus AUL - Smart Exchange to continuously track over 500 system elements, identify potential faults, and proactively dispatch replacement parts the following business day before a failure causes disruption.
In-depth diagnostic capabilities that identify and permanently resolve the underlying causes of hardware, software, and OS issues — including vmRC, a service exclusive to Penguin Solutions that provides root cause determination for Red Hat and Microsoft Windows guest operating systems, preventing the same issues from recurring.
