Enterprise-Grade IT Service Level Agreement for Startups

Every business that uses third-party IT outsourcing services understands the importance of signing Service Level Agreements or SLAs with their IT service provider. Aelius Venture, being one of the leaders of the IT outsourcing market in Ukraine and one of the top 10 Managed Service Providers worldwide, clearly understands the importance of service level agreements for IT services. Over 10 years and more than 500 DevOps projects have given us significant experience with providing remote Amazon web services management and customer support on other cloud platforms.

AWS Service Level Agreement for a Fraction of Costs

As AWS is the most popular cloud platform worldwide, we have the biggest expertise working with it. Aelius Venture provides all the range of products and features from Amazon Web Services, from IaaS deployment to PaaS support and SaaS management. We do it on behalf of the customer and guarantee stable uptime for any project or product deployed to AWS and managed by Aelius Venture under our SLA — and it costs much less than ordering these services directly from AWS.

No Service Credits, As There are No Caps on Our Service Levels

The key component of any SLA is the description of the metrics that ensure the efficiency and completeness of the services provided, including the guaranteed service levels, service caps, and applicable service credits. When working with Aelius Venture, you get no service caps, as we concentrate on proactively removing bottlenecks to minimize possible performance issues and optimizing the infrastructure to reduce the number of incidents.

IT Support Service Level Agreement for Our Products

Aelius Venture provides ongoing support and development for all software products we help develop if the customer needs it. We ensure the product is released on time, runs cost-efficiently, scales well and all the incidents are resolved in a timely manner. This way, we’ve got you covered from the beginning of your product development and all the way through the growth phase of your startup, up to the long-term infrastructure support at scale.

Reliable Support & Service Level Agreement from Aelius Venture

SLA or Service Level Agreement is the key component of any contract in IT services. If you hire another company to perform some tasks, you want to make sure there is a precise description of the types of possible issues, a detailed list of incident response times, and an understandable, trackable issue resolution procedure in place.

Aelius Venture works under SLA that differs a lot from common IT service level agreement specimens. The main difference is that we have no service caps, meaning we do not set the limit on the number of incidents resolved monthly, nor do we specify the service credits for this reason. Instead, we apply our ample DevOps expertise to audit the infrastructure and workflows in place, identify the bottlenecks that hinder growth and negatively impact the stability of operations, and proactively remove them. This way, we minimize the number of incidents, ensuring the stability of your operations and decreasing the workload for our DevOps engineers, who support multiple projects each.

The goal of our Service Level Agreement is to establish a reliable partnership between Aelius Venture and our customers and describe the provided services, supported infrastructure components, notification and alerting methods, as well as the KPIs for every project we perform.

Under the SLA Aelius Venture has Such Rights:

– to demand the customer to follow the instructions and procedures we enact;
– to demand compensation for the corrections we had to do to fix the issues
resulting from the intervention of third parties to the operations;
– to select the project team composition and plan their work schedules ourselves.

Respectively, Aelius Venture has the responsibilities to:

– guarantee timely processing and resolution of incidents and requests covered by this SLA;
– achieve the service KPIs depicted below and ensure stable operations of covered services;
– employ third parties if it is needed to provide the services covered by this SLA;

The customers have the following right:

– to monitor the process of service delivery in a way that does not impede the team’s productivity.

Respectively, the customers have the following responsibilities:

– to provide all the documentation and login details required for service delivery;
– to issue tickets regarding any incidents they encounter or requests they want to make.

System Components Covered By SLA from Aelius Venture

While every business DNA is different and almost each cloud infrastructure is unique, they are all built with similar building blocks: code repositories, file storages, databases, server instances, Docker containers, etc. Below is the list of common system components and tools covered by Aelius Venture SLA, all of which can be used for both staging and production servers.

– Cloud platform or bare-metal servers (AWS, GCP, DO, Azure, OpenStack, OpenShift, etc);
