  • Managed Servers: Most of the servers in the Server Farm are managed by the Systems Support group. Customers can establish Service Agreements with the Systems Support Group. More information is available at the Managed Servers page.

Standard Service for Colocated Servers in the Data Center includes:

  • Managed Systems: 24-hour system monitoring, basic level troubleshooting, system rebooting, and System Administrator notification as needed
  • Network connectivity
  • Environmental systems (cooling, humidity)
