2. Overview Axway Managed Cloud model

Axway Managed Cloud Services are provided as customer-dedicated cloud-based Managed Services

offering. The Managed Services per solution are providing defined functionality which are covered by a

selected Service Level Agreement (SLA) level.

The deployment architecture is well-defined per available SLA level, in order to satisfy the committed

availability. The Customer does not have any influence on the given deployment architecture. Axway

may change or enhance the architecture without notice or modification to the contract.

2.1. Axway Managed Cloud Services Platform Model

Axway Managed Cloud Services are provided per Customer as dedicated, single-tenant, Virtual Private

Cloud (VPC) deployment.

The technical environment is dedicated to the Customer and isolated from all other customers. Axway is

responsible for the technical architecture and its components.

All licenses and technical infrastructure are owned by Axway and are made available to the Customer in

a subscription model. The Customer has a right to use the services implemented and operated by Axway

in accordance with its commitments.

Axway leverages a centralized set of management tools for access control, service and security

monitoring, and maintenance.

2.2. Service Level Agreement (SLA) levels

The following diagram illustrates the different SLA levels.

2.3. Axway Managed Cloud Services layers

The Axway Managed Cloud Services are composed of the following layers:

• Hosting layer: Infrastructure and all technical elements (e.g., server, network, database,

operating system, middleware).

• Application layer: Axway software installed and running on the hosting layer, including Axway

monitoring, supervision and security management tools.

• Solution layer: Technical and business configuration of the solution according to the specific

business and operational requirements of the Customer.

• Traffic layer: Data that is dynamically processed by the Solution layer configuration and all

related runtime operations.

2.4. Managed Service levels

There are three (3) incremental levels of Managed Services allowing different levels of delegation from

the customer to Axway:

• Platform Management: Platform as Managed Service by Axway, customer responsible for

configuration, monitoring and management of all data flows and incidents on the solution and

traffic layer

• Dataflow Monitoring: Platform Management + Incident Monitoring provided by Axway, customer

responsible for data configuration and management of all data flows and incidents on the solution

and traffic layer

• Dataflow Management: fully Managed Service with full delegation to Axway for all 4 layers

Based on Customer’s needs for management and administration of the Services, Axway will propose one

of the three Managed Services levels. The selected level is specified in the Subscription Schedule.

Details about these Managed Service levels and other Services are described in the following chapter.

3.7. Customer requested infrastructure and solution rules

The customer (or Axway on request by the customer) may set up rules to block or reject certain

exchanges (for example: quota violation, security rules, or anti-virus). The rejection or blocking of an

exchange by such a rule becomes “normal behavior” of the solution and will not be considered as an

error. Consequently, the Axway Managed Cloud solution and support team will not manage specific alerts

or creation of tickets for those rejections and blockings. The rejection or blocking of the exchange will

only be visible through the logs provided by the cloud solution.

In the event that the Customer would like to be informed or to have additional information on these

rejections or blocking, Axway may provide:

• Additional services to enhance the cloud solution to retrieve information and create specific alerts.

Axway reserves the right to refuse or suggest alternatives to requests for changes if they are

incompatible with the standard cloud service or with cloud security rules.

4. Usage and reporting

4.1. Components of the Standard Axway Managed Cloud Service Offering

4.1.1. Level of usage of the solution and services

When the Axway Cloud Subscription Service provides a tiered pricing structure based on use, then Axway

will provide monthly and quarterly reports showing the usage KPIs which define the tiers.

4.1.2. Subscription Term

This subscription term begins either when the first environment is delivered or at the end of the build

phase, depending on the approach specified in the Order Form. The total contract will include the

following phases:

a. Build Phase

The build phase is defined as the time from contract signing until the production environment is available.

There is no SLA commitment or penalty during the build phase. Some Axway Managed Cloud Service

Offerings are deployed very quickly and will not have a build phase. In this case the subscription phase

starts on the contract signature date.

b. Run Phase

The run phase begins when the production environment is available, even if there is no data being

processed. Any contracted Managed Services begin with the start of the Run Phase.

The invoice subscription terms are specified in the Order form

4.1.3. Usage for production environments

The regular usage and selected sizing tier for the Production environment(s) is specified in the

Subscription Schedule.

The usage for the Production environment is technically not limited. For usage beyond the subscribed

usage level (Excess Use), additional fees will be charged as defined in the Subscription Schedule (see

also below – Calculation of Excess Use).

The supported peak load per hour for Production environments is limited to 1% of the supported monthly

load of the selected sizing tier.

4.1.4. Calculation of Excess Use (overage)

Overage is calculated as follows:

• Note the usage of each main criteria and compare the value of the subscription tier chosen,

• Compute any overage related to these criteria for the subscription tier.

• Compute the additional fees for the overage for the month as defined in the Subscription Schedule.

• Invoice terms are specified in the Order Form.

4.1.5. Usage for non-production environments

For non-production environments included in the subscription, Axway is providing single-node

deployments with a processing capacity and expected usage at 20% of the production capacity and

usage specified in the Subscription Schedule.

Optionally available Pre-Production environments are sized at the same level as Production.

In the event of an overage, Axway will charge the overage at the rate set in the subscription based on

the subscription tiers.

Non-production environments may not be used to process production data.

The storage period is limited to the default period defined in the Subscription Schedule.

Service commitments are not applicable on non-production environments.

5.5.4. Software Platform Monitoring

Comprehensive monitoring of the platform is comprised of both automated monitoring and manual

monitoring.

a. Automated Monitoring

Business Activity Monitoring of key processes assures the achievement of SLAs. Moreover, the

appearance of bottleneck situations can be identified and addressed before they impact the service. As

part of the Axway continuous process improvement strategy, automated routines for monitoring are

being continually enhanced. Axway employs alerting mechanisms to ensure that errors are addressed

promptly.

b. Manual Monitoring

Automated monitoring will be verified by manual inspections of the application and regular inspection of

the solution according to Axway operations checklists.

The contents of these lists are based on

• the Cloud Business model

• the customer activity topology

The contents of these lists are updated based on

• changes and new services

• new releases of any component of the service

Any event detected by proactive monitoring triggers creation of a ticket and the incident management

process.

5.5.5. Technical Infrastructure Management

The Axway Managed Cloud Service includes full infrastructure management although facilities and some

operations may be provided by the Axway hosting partner.

As part of the delivery of services, Axway reserves the right to change its service delivery partners. If

this occurs, Axway will inform the customer and coordinate the transition.

5.5.6. Backup and Restore Management

Backup management is the responsibility of the Axway teams, although certain aspects may be

performed by the hosting partner. The backup plan will be issued during the initial project.

The management of:

• Backups and snapshots

• Restore

• Data integrity

Are performed by Axway using the service provided by our hosting partner (IaaS provider). These tasks

are performed automatically. Axway maintains full responsibility for all backup and restore actions.

All backups are stored in an encrypted state.

Database is replicated real-time in Multiple Availability Zones for faster Recovery in case of site failures.

5.5.7. Archiving Management

Archived data and storage is designed to retain data for a specified period of time. Depending on the

requirements specified in the Subscription Schedule, data may be stored online or offline using resilient

storage provided by the hosting partner. Once the archive period is over the data is automatically

destroyed.

5.5.8. Capacity & Availability Management

Axway tracks a number of technical and business measures using standard monitoring tools, in order to

correlate:

• The usage of services over time

• The consumption of technical resources over time

Axway will adjust the capacity of the service to meet customer use.

The subscription price is based on use and the subscription tier. These subscription tiers take into account

the capacity adjustment required to maintain the service.

5.5.9. Disaster Recovery (DR)

Based on contract terms, customers with an optional Disaster Recovery (DR) service will have a separate

DR environment for their solution. This service is intended only in the case of a major disaster and cannot

be treated as a backup solution (backup services are addressed by Availability Management).

Customers opting in for DR services will participate in development of a separate document entitled

"Disaster Recovery Plan" in collaboration with Axway teams.

Declaration of a disaster is the sole responsibility of the Axway Cloud management team.

As standard, the features of DR are as follows. They may be modified if requested by the customer.

These changes will be subject to a financial assessment.

Description Objective

DR test frequency 1 test/year

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Depends on the SLA

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) Depends on the SLA

Customers with no DR option in their contract and those in the Public Cloud model will be subject to best

efforts to restore the service in case of a major disaster.

If Axway cannot successfully complete the DR test within the SLA indicator, Axway will analyze the root

cause and perform another test within 60 days after the first test.

6.3.1. Incidents Originated by the Customer or Partners

In case an incident is caused by improper use by the Customer, a third party working on behalf of the

Customer, or Customer’s end-users, and following customer request, Axway Managed Cloud Services

will perform the necessary work to restore the Service. This extra work shall be charged to the Customer

as Additional Services. Resolution of incidents originated by or on behalf of the Customer or Customer’s

end users includes, for example, network problems on the Customer’s side, configuration changes

performed by the Customer, and poor data quality in files which cause unwanted side effects. The time

spent will be invoiced based on the rate cards and fees defined in the Subscription Schedule.

6.4. Service Quality Indicator (SQI)

Below is the methodology for calculation of the Service Quality Indicators as well as the frequencies of

these indicators used by Axway.

The Service Quality Indicators are split into different categories:

• Key Incident Indicator: indicator evaluates the level of service delivered

• Key Service Indicator: indicator measuring the performance of the service

• Key Informative and Performance Indicator: used as complementary information

It is possible to add new indicators if the provided SQI does meet the customer need.
