Twelve standing commitments

Netrouting Guarantee

Twelve standing commitments, the same set, every product, every location. We have spent 18 years building infrastructure for operators who can't afford weasel-words; this page is the public, plain-language version of that promise, the same commitments apply whether you signed a contract or buy month-to-month from the customer panel.

The Netrouting Guarantee

Your customer bill of rights

The 12 commitments that Netrouting upholds for all their products, locations and customers are exactly the same. Whether you have a server running in one of our locations and you pay on a monthly basis, or you have a server in one of our locations and you have a 3-year contract, the 12 commitments remain the same. And if we fail to meet one of these 12 commitments, you are entitled to a service credit that will be applied to your next invoice.

  • N+1 power & cooling

    N+1 power & cooling redundancy in all of our locations. A failure of a single UPS, CRAC units, transformers etc. is not supposed to affect your servers.

  • Enterprise hardware, built for 24×7

    We use only the Enterprise Grade hardware, same hardware as Data Centers around the world use. Best quality servers (Dell, HPE, Supermicro) burned in before we start to use them for our customers. No consumer grade hardware, no white box servers, no used servers in our Data Centers.

  • Hardware replacement under warranty

    For servers under warranty, a failed disk, PSU, NIC, RAM module or mother board will be replaced within the SLA defined for the affected SKU (e.g. within 1 hour during business hours and 4 hours after business hours for on-site service) - no charge for customer supplied parts for covered failures.

  • Redundant PSUs on Edge-Pro and above

    Servers of the Edge-Pro SKU and above are equipped with 2 redundant PSUs each. Both of the PSUs are connected to the A+B feeds. Therefore a PSU failure does not result in a server failure which can then be used for maintenance.

  • Redundant edge, core and ToR network

    Our network has full redundancy throughout ToR switches, core, edge routers and even BGP transit network on multiple Tier-1 carriers.

  • Dual uplinks on Edge-Pro and above

    Dual NICs for uplinks on ToRs on Edge-Pro and above servers. These can be bonded (LACP) or active/standby.

  • Always-on DDoS protection

    Edge scrubbing for all IP addressed at Edge facilities (no additional charge, no upcharge traffic cost after attack occurs). We have multi-Tbps of headroom at the edge so we are multiple times larger than any single observed attack.

  • Right to credits on SLA violation

    We guarantee a 99.997% uptime on our network. In the event that we fail to meet this SLA, we grant you service credits on a per incident basis. These are applied after you have logged the credit in the appropriate section of the contract within the specified time frame. The credit will then be applied to your next invoice. No long winded legal battle or per incident haggling.

  • 1-hour ticket guarantee, 24/7

    Assign human to investigate (phone, ticket, chat) within 1hr of receipt (24/7), and perform hardware fault triage within 30 minutes during business hours.

  • Rapid Deployment Guarantee

    For stock items, we guarantee that we will ship within one business day. If we fail to meet this commitment in full for any item, then you will receive a full refund for the associated setup fee. For custom items, we guarantee that we will meet the hand-quoted ETAs provided to you for completion of your build.

  • Industry-leading panel + automation stack

    A fully featured out of the box panel / automation stack. A full API / BMC out of band access (bmc) for full automation and remote management. Provision servers, reboot servers, mount an ISO to test software, remotely log in to watch the boot process and more, all included with no cost for 'premium-tier' upgrades. All access provided on day 1 of opening an account.

  • Transparent ToS, no surprise egress

    We promise no price increases during the term of contract and no hidden egress charges. What you read in the Terms of Service (written in plain English, not as a law suit ready contract) is what you get.

How credits work

Rights to credits on SLA violation

Missing a SLA target for network uptime, hardware replacement, ticket response etc will result in you being awarded a service credit. The service credit details (e.g. percentage of service credit, time window) are defined in your service contract and are applied consistently across all plans in that contract.

  • Open a ticket from the customer portal referencing the incident.
  • Our NoC team reviews the provided timeline against the respective monitoring data and returns a corresponding credit calculation, typically within one business day.
  • Approved credits are automatically applied against your next invoice, with no separate claim form and no re-litigating each incident.
  • We prefer to resolve any commercial disputes in your favor rather than to spend an hour arguing with you over a matter of your account credit.

Hardware replacement

Covered failure → covered replacement

All supplied hardware components such as disks, PSUs, NICs, RAM modules and motherboards are replaced under warranty should any fail in normal operation. Customer-provided hardware used in the colocation facility receives remote-hands rates and the same on-site response, however parts for customer equipment come from your own spares pool.

  • Triage within 30 minutes during business hours, 1 hour overnight.
  • When we replace stocked spares of the same part number we provide them as identical items, and we hold enterprise class swap stock at all our sites.
  • RAID rebuilds and software repair are covered remote-hands.
  • Customer damage, end-of-life hardware not covered by manufacturer warranty, and consumables (such as very old battery cells, >5 years old) are not covered under the service agreement as described above.

Enterprise hardware policy

Built for 24×7, not built down to a price

We use only enterprise-grade server hardware for our server builds, such as Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, and Supermicro SuperServer, all rated for 24×7 operation. We also burn in every server build for a minimum of 48 hours under load to catch any potential hardware failures before it is sent to a customer. We do not build servers with so-called "white-box" hardware or cheaper consumer-grade components to save a few euros. Instead, we use only new (not refurbished or used), high-endurance enterprise-grade components, including enterprise NVMe, SAS and SATA storage media from top-tier manufacturers such as Samsung, Micron, Kioxia, Seagate and Western Digital.

We treat all network hardware the same, so for example we use Juniper, Nokia, and Fortinet at the core and edge of the network, and Mellanox and Arista at the ToR. Each piece of equipment has a vendor service agreement with a written replacement window, so the SLA above is not just a piece of paper.

What is not covered

In writing, in plain language

Below we set out the carve-outs in plain language so there are no surprises:

  • We do consider Force-majeure events (like large regional power outage, natural disasters, government action etc) as per standard ToS.
  • Customer-induced outages (mis-configuration, traffic above committed bandwidth, locked-out admin credentials).
  • We identify hardware that has reached end-of-life and for which the vendor no longer provides support. The EoL dates are then made visible to the customer in the customer portal so that migrations can be planned.
  • Support for third-party software running on customer-managed servers (cPanel, DirectAdmin, SolusVM, Proxmox) is provided on a best-effort, second-line basis. Vendor support agreements are available on request.
