Response times and resolution
The target response time for incidents is based on their priority level. We will use all reasonable efforts to meet the following response times:
| Priority level | Response time | Available for |
|---|---|---|
| Critical (P1) | 15 minutes | Platinum |
| Urgent (P2) | 1 hour | Platinum, Gold |
| High (P3) | 4 hours | Platinum, Gold |
| Medium (P4) | 1 day | Platinum, Gold, Silver |
| Low (P5) | 2 days | Platinum, Gold, Silver |
We consider an incident resolved when:
- The service levels have been restored to normal; or
- The root cause lies with third party software being used by you; or
- You fail to follow up on actions or questions from Catalyst for five days.
Incident prioritisation
The priority of an incident is the product of its urgency and impact. The following table provides guidance on how to prioritise incidents.
| Priority Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Critical (P1) | The cloud is unavailable, causing an interruption of service to all applications hosted on it. |
| Urgent (P2) | Some applications hosted on the cloud are unavailable or have their service levels significantly impacted. |
| High (P3) | Critical functions of applications hosted on cloud are unavailable or significantly impacted. |
| Medium (P4) | Non-critical functions of applications hosted on the cloud are unavailable or significantly impacted. |
| Low (P5) | The service level of applications hosted on the cloud is reduced (e.g.: slower than usual), but they are still functioning and delivering acceptable response times. |
