ULTIMATE DDOS MITIGATION SLA

The Ultimate DDoS MitigationService Level Agreement (UDM SLA) offers customers a set of assurances and solutions related to ServerMO's performance in delivering DDoS Protection Service, specifically for Layer 3 to Layer 4 (as defined below).

For the purposes of this DDoS Protection Service - DPS Core SLA, the following terms have the specified meanings:

  • Ultimate DDoS Protection (UDM): This refers to the service provided by ServerMO to mitigate the effects of Denial of Service Attacks on customers' Internet connectivity, which is delivered via the ServerMO Backbone.
  • ServerMO Backbone: This is ServerMO's network infrastructure, owned and operated solely at selected points of presence where ServerMO offers DDoS Protection Service (referred to as "Selected POPs").
  • ServerMO Network Operations (ServerMO NOC): This consists of the team at ServerMO responsible for operating, monitoring, and supporting the network infrastructure exclusively within the Selected POPs where ServerMO provides DDoS Protection Service (DDoS Protection).
  • ServerMO Network Security (ServerMO Security): This team is responsible for operating, monitoring, and supporting DPS Core.
  • DDoS Attack (Attack): Denotes a Denial of Service attack on the Internet connectivity provided to customers over the ServerMO Backbone.

It does not refer to the time between the opening of the Trouble Ticket and the deployment of the ACL change.
  • “Emergency ACL Change Request Response Time” refers only to the period of time between the opening of a Trouble Ticket by Customer with ServerMO NOC requesting an Emergency ACL Change Request and the time when ServerMO Network Security or the ServerMO NOC contacts Customer (or attempts to contact Customer) to begin the review process of the intended Emergency ACL Change Request. Emergency ACL Change Request Response Time does not refer to the period of time between the opening of a Trouble Ticket by Customer with ServerMO NOC for an Emergency ACL Change Request and the deployment of the ACL change.

Response Time
If a customer suspects they are being targeted by a Denial of Service Attack and wishes to initiate mitigation, there are various methods for them to open a trouble ticket for this purpose. When mitigation requests are made through telephone to the ServerMO NOC (+123 490 189 76) or the Billing Department via a ticket, the ServerMO Network Security Team commits to responding to the customer's request within 60 minutes. In cases where this Response Time commitment is not met, ServerMO will provide the customer with a credit amounting to 50% of the Event Fee paid by the customer, or 50% of the Event Fee that would have been paid by the customer, should the mitigation fall within the "Included Mitigation Days."

ACL Change Request Response Time
When a customer wishes to make a standard, non-emergency adjustment, change, or removal to an Access Control List (ACL), they have several methods at their disposal to create a trouble ticket for a Standard ACL Change Request. If Standard ACL Change Requests are submitted via telephone (+123 490 189 76) to the ServerMO NOC or ServerMO Network Security or through the Customer Portal, the ServerMO Network Security Team commits to responding to the customer and commencing a review of the ACL request within one business day of the request submission. If ServerMO fails to meet this Standard ACL Change Response Time commitment, the customer will receive a credit equivalent to 50% of the Standard ACL Change Request Rate paid by the customer, or 50% of the Standard ACL Change Request Rate that would have been paid by the customer, in cases where the obligation for Standard ACL Change Request Response Time is not fulfilled.

Network/Global IP Transit SLA

ServerMO is dedicated to maintaining its network to ensure the highest possible Internet performance for all customers. To fulfill this commitment, ServerMO offers the following guarantees to all on-site Internet clients:

  • A 100% guarantee of uninterrupted Internet access.
  • Packet loss will not exceed 0.1% within an average 30-day period (applicable to Level 3/PCCW Carriers Only).

  • Zero packet loss within ServerMO's network.

If a customer suspects any network outages, they can initiate the process by opening a trouble ticket to request mitigation. In the event of an outage report, it should be submitted to the ServerMO NOC via telephone (+123 490 189 76) or through the Billing Department. The ServerMO Network Security Team commits to responding to the customer's request within 60 minutes.

In addition to the above performance guarantees, ServerMO will, for all premium network clients, take every possible measure to ensure that all client traffic reaches its destination in a timely manner, similar to and in line with the performance of any other carrier in the region. These measures include optimizing routing tables to direct traffic to the Internet through the best available upstream link. ServerMO also guarantees that efforts will be made to minimize any negative impact on users due to DDoS attacks from other customers on our network. Null routing of an IP address is considered a last resort on our network, with filtering being the initial approach. Downtimes related to null-routing of an IP or billing issues are not counted against the SLA.

Credit Requests and Payment Procedures

To claim a credit under the Network/Global IP Transit SLA, the process is as follows: Open a ticket and request a credit from our Billing Department.
