Optional Support Plans

Every KASTERVO account includes basic support: reactive, best-effort, handled in queue order during operational hours. If you need more, we quote a paid support plan for your infrastructure. Plans cover infrastructure and OS-level tasks.

When Basic Support Isn't Enough

A paid plan makes sense when one of these applies to your infrastructure.

You Need Faster Response

If a queued, best-effort response during operational hours is too slow for the systems you run, a support plan can shorten it.

OS-Level Work Competes With Everything Else

Installing software, configuring the operating system or setting up monitoring on your compute instances takes time your team needs elsewhere. We can take these tasks on, within the scope we agree.

You Want Backups or Security Work Covered

Backups and security work, such as hardening, encryption or authentication setup, aren't part of basic support or the setup fee. A plan can add them, priced in your quote.

What a Support Plan Covers

A support plan works on the infrastructure and the operating system of the KASTERVO services you use, and stops there. It doesn't extend into your environment: the applications you run and decisions about who has access stay with you. We aren't obligated to support third-party or custom software, such as an ERP. Each plan is scoped to your infrastructure and quoted per client.

How a Plan Is Put Together

We scope each plan with you and quote it per client.

Agreed Scope

The plan lists the tasks it covers, from monitoring to software installation.

Unchanged Responsibilities

A plan doesn't change who owns what. We operate the infrastructure, and you stay responsible for your environment, including when we carry out a task on it for you.

What a Paid Plan Can Include

  • Monitoring

    Infrastructure and OS-level monitoring for the compute instances in the plan's scope.

  • Software Installation

    Installing software at the OS level. Configuring and running it afterwards stays with you.

  • Backups

    Backups through KASTERVO Elastic Backup Service (KEBS), built on Veeam, as a paid addition.

  • Security Work

    Hardening, encryption and authentication setup at the infrastructure and OS level, beyond what the setup fee covers.

  • Faster Response

    Faster response than the included best-effort support, plus proactive engagement if your plan includes it.
