1Supported Software: Support subscriptions cover all Genuine Asterisk releases and many Asterisk add-on components sold by Digium. The level of support available depends on the version of software being used — current versions of Asterisk receive the most comprehensive level of support while older versions have limited support entitlements. The most current releases of Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6 receive full support, which includes both technical assistance (configuration, implementation, basic problem resolution) and engineering support (bug fixing). Older versions of 1.4 and 1.6, as well as 1.2 and 1.0 are covered for technical assistance but do not generally include engineering support. Digium engineering support is only available for systems running on Intel x86 or 100% compatible processors when used with any of the following supported Linux distributions: AsteriskNOW; CentOS Release 4 or 5, RedHat Enterprise Linux Release 4 or 5, Ubuntu Linux 8.04 LTS Server Edition, SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 or 11,OpenSUSE 10 or 11.
2Problem Resolution Support: Need help? Digium’s technical support team is there to back you up. If you need help with installation, configuration, troubleshooting or resolution of software issues (a.k.a. bugs) then give us a call. Or open a case from the Digium customer support portal. In either case Digium will work with you to make your Asterisk solution a success.
3Advanced Hardware Replacement: If a critical telephony hardware component fails the costs can add up an a big hurry. With advanced hardware replacement , subscribers can get things running again in a hurry. If a Digium technical support specialist authorizes an RMA on any Digium telephony interface card a replacement will be sent out immediately. Just send us the bad back within 30 business day.
4Consultative Support: Support is about more than fixing bugs. Consultative support allows you to schedule time with a member of the Digium technical staff to review your existing Asterisk implementation, plan an upcoming rollout or upgrade, or to cover some of the finer points of Asterisk administration. If Asterisk is a key component in your communication infrastructure Digium consultative support can easily save you hours and dollars.
