Hazelcast Technical Support

Hazelcast® offers three different support subscription levels depending on the requirements of your business:

Hazelcast’s Unique Support Offering

Hazelcast support is provided by our world class team of solution architects. Every technical support interaction is directly with a solution architect ensuring swift resolution of your issue with minimal back and forth – and no administrative middlemen.

Hazelcast provides world class technical support and service in three different subscription levels tailored to meet your business and operational needs.

In addition we uniquely offer Hazelcast Production Assurance with Hazelcast Simulator and IP Compliance Assurance with Black Duck.

Hazelcast Production Assurance for Initial Deployment/Change Control with Hazelcast Simulator

Hazelcast uniquely offers production simulation of your Hazelcast environment. This includes hardware, virtualisation. operating system, java vendor and version and Hazelcast configuration, feature usage, topology, sizing and load.

Hazelcast support includes assistance with ongoing simulation and testing of your Hazelcast platform and deployed applications using Hazelcast Simulator. Simulate the expected throughput/latency of Hazelcast with your specific requirements during the pre-production phase of your deployment. Test if Hazelcast behaves as expected when implementing new functionality, load characteristics or expansion of your deployment. Standardize your application deployment process with a battery of rigorous tests that we will run for you before initial deployment and on each upgrade.

Hazelcast Simulator is controlled by a simple configuration properties file which we will share with you in case you wish to add Hazelcast Simulator to your own test processes and also to maintain your profile for quick responsiveness to support and consulting requests.

Hot Fix Patches

In addition to getting regular open source patch releases, Hazelcast support subscriptions provide customers with Hot Fix patches. Hot Fix patches are a special release of Hazelcast software dedicated to addressing your specific reported issue. They are made to the exact version of Hazelcast that you are running with only the specific bug fix applied.

We then perform Hazelcast Production Assurance with a long production simulation using Hazelcast Simulator with a hardware, operating system and Hazelcast configuration as equivalent as possible to your own using your Hazelcast Simulator Profile. Hot Fix Patches can thus be applied to your production system with no or minimal testing, relying on our testing. We also go red before we go green – reproducing your issue on Simulator first before creating a fix. This way you and we have great confidence the issue is resolved by the Hot Fix.
