6. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

6.1. Arkeia Documentation

Arkeia Software prepares, and regularly updates, our on-line wiki-based

documentation. Go to

http://www.arkeia.com/r/wiki

for documentation on your

Arkeia Network Backup products. For issues specific to the Arkeia Appliances,

more detailed documentation is found at

http://www.arkeia.com/r/apawiki

.

6.2. Arkeia Knowledge Base

Arkeia Software’s Knowledge Base

(

http://www.arkeia.com/r/kbase

) contains

common solutions such as client connection or configuration option. Search the

Knowledge Base for content provided by both Arkeia Software support

engineers and savvy customers. Over 70% of all technical support inquiries can

be resolved with information already published to the Arkeia Knowledge Base.

6.3. Technical Support Ticket System

If the documentation and the knowledge base don’t answer your question,

please use our Technical Support Ticket System. If you already have a

username/password, log into the Customer Support Portal at

http://www.arkeia.com/r/support

.

If you have not already received or have misplaced your credentials, you may

log a case at

http://www.arkeia.com/r/logcase

. We'll respond and provide the

credentials that you will need to subsequently access the Ticket System to learn

the responses from our technical support engineers. The Technical Support

Ticket System is only available to customers with active support contracts and

to evaluators during their evaluation period.

Evaluators must contact Sales to gain access to Ticket System.

6.4. Contacting Support

For technical support assistance, the fastest path is to use our Technical

Support Ticket System. If you have a username/password, log in at

http://www.arkeia.com/r/support

; if you are an evaluator and don't yet have a

username/password, submit a case at

http://www.arkeia.com/r/logcase

. The first

steps in any support case are always for us to learn the details of your

environment and a characterization of the issues you’ve encountered. Typically,

this requires information (e.g. listings of systems files) that are more easily

communicated using the Technical Support Ticket System than by telephone
