1. Multi-Region Replication With Failover¶

The Acquia Multi-Region service is an extension of Cloud Platform Enterprise and is limited to one Code Base. Fees for this service cover environment and application setup preparation, ongoing support and operational service, coordination and restoration of service during outages, and development on improving the service. Multi Region Failover requires Customers to use a third party CDN to achieve failover in the event of primary Region loss. Customer is responsible for performing the failover upon Acquia’s recommendation during a Region outage. Customer may be required to implement Acquia recommended application changes to ensure optimal Multi Region Service and support. Customer must provide Acquia with at least five business days advance notice before electing to add an additional Code Base to this service.

Acquia will provide Customer with the Acquia Search Dedicated instance, which provides an isolated, hosted search environment for its website(s) that is totally dedicated to a particular Customer. Dedicated Search includes the following:

• A 99.95% uptime in accordance with Acquia’s Service Level Policy
• Ability for Customer to perform load tests
• Option to deploy other Solr libraries (Customer must test libraries locally)

Load Testing Environments are dedicated environments with infrastructure that is identical to the infrastructure running in the customer’s Acquia Cloud Enterprise production environment. Acquia requires five business days’ advance notice to provision. The purchase of a Load Testing Environment does not entitle Customer to Professional Services or assistance in executing performance testing/load testing without the purchase of additional services.

Traffic to Load Testing Environments does not count against Customer’s entitlements. Load Testing Environments are not available for Acquia Cloud Professional Customers.

4. Secure VPN¶

Secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an add-on to Cloud Platform subscriptions and Drupal Cloud subscriptions. Customers can choose to add an optional Virtual Private Network (VPN) hosted on Cloud Platform Enterprise to facilitate a connection between Cloud Platform Enterprise and the customer’s private network. The VPN connection ensures Customers have secure bidirectional interaction between their websites and their internal IT systems, such as CRM. A setup fee is required for each VPN connection.

In the event Customer changes endpoints during the Subscription Term, Customer will incur additional setup fees, which will be billed to Customer at $250 per hour. In order for Acquia to enable the VPN connection, Customer must meet the technical requirements set forth at Amazon VPC FAQs.

Log Forwarding is an add-on to specific Cloud Platform subscriptions and Drupal Cloud subscriptions. Log Forwarding is also included in the Enterprise Security Package, which is included in some Cloud Platform and Drupal Cloud subscriptions, as specified on the Drupal Cloud Subscriptions page and the Cloud Platform page.

Log Forwarding provides security teams with a secure and simple way to forward their logs to an end destination for analysis. This feature provides in-UI self-service configuration of log types and log destination. It is Customer’s responsibility to configure log forwarding for Cloud Platform after Acquia has enabled the feature.

Federated Authentication is a feature of the Cloud Platform that can be purchased as an add-on, and is included with certain Cloud Platform subscriptions, as specified in the package description. Federated Authentication only supports SP-initiated SAML flows, and requires customers to use an IdP that supports SP-initiated flows.

New Relic Application Performance Monitoring (“New Relic APM”) licenses are included with Cloud Platform Professional, Cloud Platform Enterprise, and Site Factory subscriptions.

Customer is limited to the usage limits for each product as stated on the order form.

Should Customer’s usage exceed the stated usage limit by 20% for a given month, they will be charged an overage rate as stated on the order form. Should Customer’s usage exceed a limit by less than 20% for a single month and subsequently usage is reduced below limit, Customer will not be charged for those overages.
