Frequently asked questions

Below are common questions about the Quantum StorageCare Bronze Support Plan, Zone 1. If your question isn’t listed, consider reaching out to your account representative for precise details tailored to your facility.

What is included in the Quantum StorageCare Bronze Support Plan?

The Bronze Support Plan provides on-site repair and maintenance services for Zone 1 deployments, with a 1-year term. It includes labor for repairs, maintenance activities, and dispatch coverage during 9 x 5 business hours, with Next Business Day on-site response. The plan focuses on reducing downtime, extending hardware life, and delivering reliable, proactive support so you can rely on your storage infrastructure.

What does “Zone 1” coverage mean?

Zone 1 indicates the geographical region where support resources are concentrated and dispatched. Coverage within Zone 1 ensures faster technician response, simpler scheduling, and streamlined escalation, which translates to shorter downtimes and quicker restoration of services in your primary operational locale.

How fast is the Next Business Day (NBD) response?

Next Business Day response means that a technician will be dispatched or a remote diagnostic session will be initiated by the next business day after the service request is logged. This schedule minimizes waiting times for hardware failures and service interruptions, helping you maintain continuity of operations.

What does maintenance and labor cover under this plan?

Maintenance coverage includes on-site preventive activities designed to preserve performance and prevent failures. Labor covers the cost of technician time for diagnostics, repair, and preventive maintenance during on-site visits. Parts may be excluded or covered under separate terms depending on the specific plan agreement and eligibility of the device under warranty or managed service contracts.

Is this plan renewable after one year?

Renewal options for ongoing coverage are typically available through the provider. After the initial 1-year term, you can discuss renewal terms, pricing adjustments based on usage, hardware changes, and any enhancements to service levels that better fit your evolving needs.

How do I maximize the benefits of this plan?

To maximize the benefits, keep an up-to-date asset inventory, maintain clear on-site access instructions for technicians, and establish a single primary contact for service requests. Proactively scheduling preventive maintenance windows can reduce the likelihood of failures and extend the life of your storage hardware. Regularly review service reports and implement recommended actions to sustain optimal performance.

What if an issue requires special parts or escalation beyond Bronze coverage?

In cases requiring parts outside the Bronze plan’s standard scope or if escalation to higher-tier services is needed, technicians or your account manager will guide you through the appropriate upgrade or escalation path. The goal is to resolve issues efficiently while aligning with your budget and operational priorities.

Are there any prerequisites to obtain this service plan?

Prerequisites typically include eligibility within Zone 1, confirmation of covered storage hardware, and an agreement to the terms of service, including response times, coverage windows, and the scope of labor. Your account representative can provide a tailored confirmation for your environment.

How can I contact support for Quantum StorageCare Bronze?

Support contact details are provided by your account representative and should be readily accessible to your facilities or IT team. When you initiate a service request, have your device details, symptoms, and sequence of events ready to ensure swift triage and dispatch.
