Description
Extreme Networks Extremeworks Premier Software and GTAC Service delivers a comprehensive, high-touch post-sale support experience designed to keep your Extreme Networks hardware and Operational Software performing at peak levels. With 24x7 access to Extreme Networks’ Global Technical Assistance Center (GTAC), proactive health checks, and optional on-site support, this 1-year program provides predictable budgeting, prioritized issue handling, and ongoing guidance to help your network stay reliable, secure, and scalable. Whether you’re safeguarding mission-critical applications, optimizing data-center performance, or preparing for capacity growth, Premier Software and GTAC Service delivers the expert assistance you need when you need it most.
- Around-the-clock GTAC access: Enjoy 24x7 telephone and web access to Extreme Networks’ Global Technical Assistance Center. GTAC is available 365 days a year, ensuring you can report problems, ask product questions, and receive definitive guidance from engineers who specialize in Extreme Networks hardware and Operational Software. This continuous availability helps you escalate complex issues without delay, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) and keeping operations running smoothly.
- 1-year coverage with 4 incidents for predictable budgeting: The Premier Service runs for a full year from activation and includes up to four incidents within that period. This structure helps you plan IT spend, align support with project cycles, and ensure that critical problems receive prioritized attention without surprise costs. It’s designed to deliver measurable value by focusing resources on the issues that matter most to your network’s uptime and performance.
- Proactive health checks and optimization recommendations: Beyond reactive support, the service emphasizes proactive care. GTAC engineers perform health assessments, analyze performance data, and provide actionable recommendations—such as capacity planning, configuration best practices, and upgrade paths—to keep your network performing at optimum levels. Regular health checks help identify potential bottlenecks, misconfigurations, or aging firmware before they impact users or applications.
- Optional on-site support to minimize downtime: When remote remediation isn’t sufficient, Extreme Networks can dispatch skilled engineers to your site. On-site visits are designed to accelerate problem resolution, minimize business disruption, and ensure that complex issues—particularly those involving hardware, top-of-rack configurations, or data-center environments—are addressed directly at your location with minimal downtime.
- Peace of mind through reliable post-sale care and timely updates: Premier Support is built to provide ongoing guidance, timely software and firmware updates, and best-practice recommendations. The combination of proactive health checks, regular updates, and expert engineering guidance helps reduce risk, extend the life of your equipment, and maximize return on your technology investment by keeping your environment secure and up to date.
