Turnkey Fully Managed Citrix Nerds Support Contract Contractually Guaranteed Citrix Support 24 hours a day! The Citrix Nerds Turnkey Fully Managed Support contract costs $24,995 annually and includes 100 hours of labor, with a 4 hour service level agreement (SLA), 24x7 support, monitoring, management and build services. Additional labor is billed monthly at a rate of $150 per hour. Contracted clients are provided with a private extension on the standard 800 support number that will route their call to an enterprise class level support engineer. This contract is available for organizations that require a contracted/guaranteed service level agreement and/or that want to save money by not hiring a fulltime Citrix administrator. Managed support customers receive full-time monitoring of their Citrix environment with monthly utilization reports. The entire Citrix XenDesktop / XenApp environment is managed by a team of highly skilled Citrix Nerds engineers that take care of everything Citrix related to keep the environment running flawlessly. This includes applying recommended Citrix updates and performing product upgrades. As a bonus feature, build services are included, meaning if you want to add additional resources such as new servers or virutal workstations, this will be done as part of your contract.
