-
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Cloud IBR provides the End-User Subscriber and/or Reseller (collectively called the Subscriber) with access to the Cloud IBR software which enables them to recover their Veeam server backups to a secure bare metal cloud infrastructure. -
SUBSCRIPTION FEES
Customer can cancel their Subscription from the Manage Subscription page at any time, to prevent future automatic renewals. The Silver Monthly Subscription fee for Cloud IBR shall begin being charged to the Subscriber's credit card thirty (30) days from the date the Subscriber registers for their thirty (30) day free trial, or whenever they choose to purchase an Annual Subscription, whichever occurs first. The free trial shall automatically convert to a recurring Monthly Subscription after thirty (30) days, at the then current Monthly Subscription pricing, if the Customer does not purchase an upgraded Subscription prior to the thirty (30) days; unless Subscriber cancels their Subscription from the Manage Subscription page. The Monthly Subscription shall automatically renew each month at the then current Monthly Subscription pricing. Subscriber may choose to upgrade their monthly Subscription to a discounted one (1) year Subscription with annual billing via the Manage Subscription page at any time. The Annual Subscription shall automatically renew each successive year at the then current Annual Subscription rate. For either Subscription term, Subscriber may elect to not automatically renew the Subscription from the Manage Subscription page prior to the renewal date of the then current Subscription term. -
BARE METAL CLOUD USAGE FEES
There shall be no Bare Metal Cloud usage fees during the thirty (30) day trial. After the thirty (30) day trial has ended, PhoenixNAP shall bill Subscriber’s credit card directly for hourly usage of the PhoenixNAP Bare Metal Cloud during recovery tests and during an actual Disaster Recovery. Fees range from $0.08 (8 cents) to a few dollars per hour per physical server plus $0.12 (12 cents) per hour per TB of storage and ancillary fees for IP addresses, Windows Server licensing, etc. You can use our DR Testing Fees Calculator to estimate your hourly usage fees and view the hourly pricing for different hardware platforms here. You can also see two monthly usage statement examples for actual Cloud IBR recovery environments here and here. -
SUPPORT OPTIONS
Cloud IBR includes support for any issues/bugs within the automation portion of the SaaS platform, including any deployment issues of the Bare Metal Cloud (BMC) infrastructure. Direct End-User Subscriber (EUS) of Cloud IBR shall receive support directly from the Cloud IBR support team and will create support tickets via the “Open A Support Ticket” option within the Cloud IBR SaaS platform. Resellers agree to provide all first level support to their respective EUS'. Reseller’s EUS' who create support tickets via the “Open A Support Ticket” option will generate a support ticket directly to their respective Reseller.
