Standard Warranty

Three years hardware warranty
Three years hardware warranty from date of shipment; NBD (next business day) parts delivery; telephone & e-mail support during business hours. Warranty extension available.

NBD (next business day) parts delivery.
JetStor systems are modular in design, enabling simple hot-swap replacement of failed parts even by non-technical staff. This negates the requirement for a JetStor engineer to attend site and reduces any period at risk. An RMA (return material authorisation) will be supplied. The customer agrees to return the failed part within 30 days.

Telephone & E-mail Support
Monday - Friday, 9:00AM - 5:00PM (excluding public and VSPL holidays). Software related issues are usually assessed and managed remotely from either the UK or US support centre. If required, a service representative will visit on-site.

Support Uplifts

On Site Spare Parts
Spare parts are available to purchase and hold on-site enabling you to quickly replace part(s) and restore your system back to full operational health. VSPL will replenish the spare part(s) through an advance replacement service.

On Site Spare Systems
For customers with larger deployments or those with more demanding support requirements, complete spare systems can be supplied enabling the rapid resolution of faults or restoration of services in the event of individual part(s) or complete chassis failure. JetStor storage systems support RAID array roaming - a stand-by chassis can be supplied which will accept the disk drives of the relocated RAID set(s) installed in any physical order.

Secure Site 'NoReturn' Drive Support
Due to the sensitive nature of the data that you may store, we understand that you can not always return failed drives to us. Should you experience a drive failure we will provide a replacement drive without the requirement to return any failed drive.
