3. SERVICE FEATURES

HPE GreenLake Management Services provides the following:

• Service implementation

• IT service management

• System operations and administration

• Relationship management

4. SERVICE FEATURE SPECIFICATIONS

4.1 Service implementation

HPE will follow a phased approach with the goal to provide a smooth transition to the HPE GreenLake Management Services. In addition to the Customer responsibilities set forth in this data sheet, HPE and Customer will mutually agree upon the necessary activities, along with owners and timelines in order to enable HPE to provide the HPE GreenLake Management Services. These activities will be managed as a discrete project (herein after referred to as the Implementation Project) consisting of the phases and related workstreams described in the following sections, which must be completed before ongoing service delivery can commence. The timescales and activities for each phase, including the mutually agreed acceptance criteria for such phases as described below will be documented in an Implementation Project Plan. The implementation period will vary according to the Systems in scope and will be defined in the Implementation Project Plan. Before starting the Implementation Project, the Customer must meet the following prerequisites:

• Customer must provide a High Level Service Design (HLSD) detailing the Systems, including all information requested by HPE, for example, topology and configuration of the Systems.

• HPE must be granted exclusive access rights to the Systems by the Customer.

• Further specific assumptions relating to the Implementation Project are provided in the Primary Customer responsibilities section in the following section.

The Implementation Project will be split into the following phases. These phases, including any applicable acceptance processes are more fully described as follows.

• Initiation phase

• Joint verification phase

• Design and implementation phase

• Acceptance into operations phase

• SLO operations and closure phase

• Final acceptance phase

Implementation project phase acceptance: Mutually agreed objective acceptance criteria will be defined and documented within the Implementation Project Plan for the three acceptance milestones for the Implementation Project. These occur at the following phases:

1. At the end of the Joint Verification Phase, acceptance regarding readiness of the Systems for GMS service delivery by HPE will occur. The acceptance process and objective acceptance criteria will include validation that the Systems meet the requirements set forth in the Primary Customer responsibilities section. The objective criteria on which acceptance of the Joint Verification Phase is based is called Infrastructure acceptance criteria.

2. At the end of the Acceptance into Operations phase, the objective Acceptance into Operations criteria for accepting the Systems into operations will be based on tests performed of the tools and processes implemented within the individual workstreams.

3. At the end of the SLO Operations & Closure phase, final acceptance will take place. The parties will mutually agree upon objective acceptance criteria to validate that all processes and tools are in place and operational in order for HPE to manage the Systems. The criteria on which final acceptance is based is called Project acceptance criteria.

Page 3: HPE GreenLake Management Services as part of HPE GreenLake ... · criteria on which final acceptance is based is called Project acceptance criteria. Data sheet Page 3 Initiation phase:

Page 3Data sheet

Initiation phase: In the Initiation phase, HPE will work with Customer to define the specific scope, activities, and timelines of the Implementation Project, which will be documented in the Implementation Project Plan. Project teams and a steering committee will be agreed and assembled followed by an initial kick-off meeting to commence detailed planning.

After completion of the Initiation Phase, the following phases will occur in the following order, with the exception of the Connectivity Workstream:

Joint verification phase: In this phase, all assumptions will be checked and validated by HPE in consultation with Customer. All Systems and all related processes will also be assessed and verified based on the following aspects:

• Verification of the Systems: Quantities, model, type, and Configuration Management Database (CMDB) information

• Verification that the System configurations are suitable for meeting SLO targets

• Verification that the Systems are accessible, up-to-date, have required security features and are documented

• Verification that the Systems have the required support/maintenance contracts

• Verification that the environment in which the Systems are located conforms to HPE requirements including temperature, humidity, UPS, security, access rules, and so on

• Validation of the High Level Service Design

The agreed acceptance process will be performed to verify/check if the Systems meet the defined Infrastructure acceptance criteria. Each deviation will be documented and impact will be defined and listed in a deviations document, with any actions, owners, and timelines identified. If any changes are required as a result of this activity, they will be addressed via the Change Management process as detailed in the HPE GreenLake Statement of Work Account Support Plan.

Design and implementation phase: Specific workstreams will be initiated during this phase of the Implementation Project as described below with each having its own tasks and timeline as documented within the Implementation Project Plan. Each workstream will deliver their input to develop the Detailed Level Service Design (DLSD) document which will be consolidated and documented during this phase with all required information for each workstream as described in the following section.

In the following paragraphs, the workstreams within this phase are described separately.

• Connectivity workstream: Working with the Customer, HPE will: i) confirm and detail the connectivity to be implemented to enable delivery of these HPE GreenLake Management Services, including transport protocol and security measures, and ii) test and implement the connectivity. Connectivity is known to be on the critical path. This workstream will commence as soon as possible after Project Initiation.

• Monitoring tooling workstream: The configuration of the HPE GreenLake Management Service monitoring tools will be defined and documented within the DLSD. After review by both Customer and HPE, the tooling will be implemented according to the DLSD, including Event Management principles such as the Event categorization and prioritization. Connectivity must be in place before monitoring can be implemented.

• Service management workstream: Service management processes and procedures will be documented in the Daily Agreed Procedures (DAP) in collaboration with the Customer. These will include interface documents as well as change type definitions and specific service level reporting. Service management tooling will be implemented to support the agreed processes.

• Knowledge transfer workstream: HPE will work with the Customer to gather necessary information on existing operational documentation, tasks and activities. Customer is responsible for providing all information requested by HPE to ensure an effective and efficient knowledge transfer process. This will include items such as deployment, failover, recovery, and security procedures. During transfer, processes and activities will be tested by HPE with any deviations noted and required actions documented along with owners and timelines. Information gathered will be documented in the Detailed Level Service Design document.

Page 4Data sheet

Acceptance into operations phase: Following completion of the Design and Implementation phase, the acceptance into operations phase will commence by performing several integral tests pursuant to the agreed objective project acceptance criteria for completion of this phase. These tests will be performed by simulation of real-life cases with Customer involvement to validate the end-to-end result of the implementation (simulation sessions). If acceptance does not occur, each deviation will be described and impact will be defined and listed in a deviation document. Customer and HPE will review the deviations and mutually agree upon next steps to correct any deviations within a reasonable time frame.

Once completed, SLO operations and closure phase will commence.

SLO operations and closure phase: During this phase, HPE will deliver the GMS based on the Service Level Objectives (SLOs), however deviations of the SLO may occur. Any discrepancies that occur will be investigated and addressed, with any adjustments made to the service as needed and in agreement between HPE and Customer. This is intended to be a prehandover period, with the preceding Customer’s operations team still in place to assist where necessary, and will typically last for a period of two months. Detailed timelines for this phase will be established during the Initiation Phase and documented within the Implementation Project Plan.

Final acceptance phase: After successful completion of the SLO operations and closure phase, as determined by HPE, final acceptance testing will take place using the agreed project objective acceptance criteria. Once acceptance occurs, the Service Implementation project will be completed and full GMS operations will commence with HPE responsible for provision of the GMS as set forth herein.

11. DEFINED TERMS

Term Definition

Call A notification from Customer to the HPE Service Desk regarding an Incident relating to the Systems.

Emergency ChangeUrgent RFCs to the Systems for which the normal change procedure does not meet the requirements. Late submission of a change does not constitute an Emergency Change.

Emergency Release Minor changes to software in the Systems which are made available from the software vendor for security reasons or an imminent error.

EventAn occurrence within the Systems and within the scope of the GMS as observed by HPE, or as a result of a Call that has relevance to either the Customer as the user of the Systems or HPE in providing these GMS.

General Availability The release of a product that is available to the general public including availability of associated vendor support products.

IncidentAn Event within the Systems which results in an unplanned interruption or degradation of the functionality provided by the Systems, or that has not yet affected the level of functionality provided by the Systems (for example, failure of one disk from a mirror set).

Incident Resolution Action taken to resolve an Incident and restore the affected functionality or to implement a Workaround.

Incident Resolution Time

The time taken for HPE to resolve an Incident, excluding the SLO Exclusions identified in the General provisions/other exclusions section of this document, and any time attributable to Customer or any third parties with whom HPE is required to work with to resolve the Incident. Incident Resolution Time is a target only and may depend on and include the implementation of resilience measures or configurations as verified by HPE in the Joint Verification phase.

Major ChangeChanges that have a medium risk factor and the potential for a significant impact upon service levels. These changes typically require extensive planning, scheduling, and activity coordination between multiple support groups.

Major ReleaseA significant upgrade to a product providing additional features or functionality. Typically an upgrade to a new version of the product (for example, version 1 to 2), applied in a similar manner to a fresh installation and normally as part of an implementation project.

Minor Change Changes that have a low risk factor (as defined in the Change Management process) and unlikely to impact service levels.

Minor ReleaseA sub-version number update to provide enhancements or defect fixes (for example, version 1.2 to 1.3). Typically applied as a patch release and within the scope of the Change Management process.

Normal Change RFCs that must follow the complete Change Management process.

Problem A Problem is the unknown cause of one or more Incidents, often identified as a result of multiple similar incidents.

Request for Change (RFC)

A request specifically and only for a change to the Systems that may lead to a change in the composition or configuration. Five categories of RFCs are distinguished: Standard Change Normal Change Minor Change Major Change Emergency Change Emergency Change An RFC is requested using the RFC form.

Response A Response is when HPE contacts the Incident initiator or actively starts to work on the Incident.

Response Time Response Time is a target and is measured as the time elapsed from when an Incident is first raised to when there is a Response.

Standard Change Predefined and preapproved RFCs with a manageable risk, routine tasks, clearly specified and with standardized execution.

Standard Work Day During standard local business working days and hours. Specifics will be defined during the Implementation Project.

SystemSystem refers to the infrastructure components, devices and software products which comprise the system provided by the related HPE GreenLake SOW.

System Availability The Service Level Availability means with respect to the Systems expressed as a percentage of Scheduled Uptime for the relevant infrastructure component (that is, Availability = [Scheduled Uptime minus Unexcused Downtime] divided by Scheduled Uptime.)

Workaround Reducing or eliminating the impact of an Incident for which a full resolution is not yet available.

† HPE GreenLake Management Services for the HPE GreenLake configurations noted provides for the management of the installed operating system as well as the underlying hardware infrastructure. Operating system configuration and functionality remains the responsibility of the Customer. Supported operating systems are Windows and Linux (SUSE and RHEL). As noted in Primary Customer Responsibilities, Customer must have valid support contracts in place during SOW term for any operating systems to be managed by HPE.

†† HPE GreenLake Management Services for the Cost Optimized configuration of HPE GreenLake for Storage—General Purpose (as identified in section 2.1.c of the SOW) do not include SAN activities and therefore the following SAN table does not apply.

‡ HPE GreenLake Management Services for the HPE GreenLake configurations noted provides for the management of a single installed hypervisor as well as the underlying hardware infrastructure. Hypervisor configuration and functionality remains the responsibility of the Customer. GMS extends to the hypervisor functionality only; the management of guest operating system instances remains the responsibility of the Customer. Supported hypervisor is VMware. As noted in Primary Customer Responsibilities, Customer must have valid support contracts in place during SOW term for any hypervisor to be managed by HPE.

‡‡ HPE GreenLake Private Cloud is provided as a managed service inclusive of the HPE GreenLake Management Services identified in the HPE GreenLake Private Cloud and HPE GreenLake Private Cloud Container tables; the Essential Management Service and Enhanced Management Services tiers are therefore not applicable for these Systems.
