DataStax Support is committed to providing accurate and timely solutions to technical support needs. If Customer has a critical or serious technical issue on its production system or is not satisfied with the response or resolution provided by DataStax Support, Customer may use one of the following escalation paths to have its concerns addressed:

  • For support issues where the business impact has changed or was not correctly stated initially, request to have the priority of the ticket increased according to the above service level definitions;
  • For an existing issue that has become critical in nature where Customer’s production system is down, inaccessible, or Customer is dissatisfied with the DataStax response or resolution, follow the procedure below for management review:
    • Verify that the support ticket is up-to-date and all requested information and files have been provided and request an escalation; and/or
    • Contact Support by calling the DataStax escalation phone line (or by using the Support Portal directly) to speak with a support engineer. The escalation number can be found on the ‘Contact Us -> Ticket Escalation’ page once logged into the DataStax Support Portal.

Customer’s Technical Contact will be asked for the Technical Contact’s name, company name, ticket number, contact number, and reason for the escalation. If a DataStax support engineer is not available an operator will take the information and generate an urgent support request.
  • Once an escalation request has been received, the support manager will: (1) contact Customer’s Technical Contact to acknowledge the escalation and determine the mode of communication and frequency of updates; and (2) work to ensure that the appropriate resources are available to identify a solution or workaround.
