Remote access
The Customer can access Hewlett Packard Enterprise technical resources via telephone, electronic communication, or fax
(where locally available) for assistance in resolving software implementation or operations problems.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides corrective support to resolve identifiable and customer-reproducible software product
problems. HPE also provides support to help the Customer identify problems that are difficult to reproduce. In addition, the
Customer receives assistance in troubleshooting problems and determining configuration parameters for supported
configurations.
Problem isolation for the software product is provided. The Customer is informed if the problem is perceived to be
hardware-related. If the Customer's hardware is covered under a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Hardware Maintenance Onsite
Service Agreement, a service request will be logged on the Customer's behalf. If available and with the Customer's approval, a
per-call service request at the current time and material rates will be logged on the Customer's behalf for problems related to
hardware not covered under an HPE Hardware Maintenance Onsite Service Agreement.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has established formal escalation procedures to facilitate the resolution of complex incidents. Local
Hewlett Packard Enterprise management coordinates incident escalation, enlisting the skills of appropriate HPE resources
and/or selected third parties to assist with problem solving.
As a part of this service, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will provide access to certain software-related electronic and Web-based
tools and services, as applicable.
The Customer has access to certain capabilities made available to registered users, such as searches of technical support
documents and knowledge databases to facilitate faster problem-solving, downloading selected HPE software patches,
participating in support forums for solving problems and sharing best practices with other registered users, and the ability to
use a Web-based tool for submitting questions directly to HPE and viewing the status of each service request submitted.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides information, as commercially available, on current product features, known problems and
available solutions, and operational advice and assistance.
At the option of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and with Customer approval, selected remote access tools may be used to
facilitate problem solving. The use of these tools allows HPE to work interactively with the Customer and facilitates remote
diagnosis of problems with the Customer's system.
The Customer can choose to use any of these remote access tools to assist in the resolution of service requests. Only
HPE-provided, HPE-approved tools are to be used as a part of this feature.
Installation advisory support
Flexible coverage window
Flexible response time
Limited advisory support is provided and is restricted to basic advisory assistance for the Customer who encounters difficulties
while performing a software product installation or who needs advice on proper installation methods and updating of
standalone applications. Limited advisory support for software products that are installed in a network environment is also
provided. The scope of such advisory support is at Hewlett Packard Enterprise's discretion.
Exclusions to this advisory support include, but are not limited to, the following: any downloading of complete software
packages or walking the Customer through an installation from start to finish. These services are available for an additional
charge and can be purchased separately from HPE.
The coverage window specifies the time during which services are available. Flexible hours of coverage are available and are
selected by the Customer based on their needs. Service requests received outside the selected coverage window will be
logged the next day for which the Customer has a coverage window. All coverage windows are subject to local availability.
Contact a local Hewlett Packard Enterprise sales office for detailed information on service coverage window options and
availability.
Response time specifies the period of time that begins when the initial service request is received and logged with Hewlett
Packard Enterprise and ends when the Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized representative calls the Customer to review the
request, if this time falls within the Customer's selected coverage window. Calls received outside the Customer's coverage
window will be logged the next day for which the Customer has a coverage window (this may vary by geographic location).
The following response times are available:
• Standard response: A Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized representative will contact the Customer to begin software
technical support service within 2 hours after the service request has been logged, if this time falls within the contracted
coverage window. This response time is the default response time for both HPE Software Technical Support Unlimited and
Software Technical Support Incident.
