Notes to Table:

(1) Pricing for RemoteDBA services are based on the number of database instances to be managed, and adjusted to particular needs and size of the environment to be managed.
(2) For effective and efficient 24x7 monitoring, software tools and/or utilities are installed which serve key functionality needs or monitoring and analysis needs. These tools and utilities are owned by EnterpriseDB and are provided solely for use by EnterpriseDB personnel as part of this RemoteDBA Service. Usage of such tools and utilities is restricted to instances which are contracted for RemoteDBA services only. In addition, each utility and tool must be uninstalled and no longer used at the conclusion of the Service term.
(3) To leverage PEM for the monitoring, the customer must provide a separate server to house the PEM server and its database.
(4) EDB Supported tools only.
(5) For backup verification the customer has to provide a separate server that can be used to verify the integrity of the backups.
(6) Query optimization is limited to identification of problem queries in the customer’s application/database combination. It does not include query redesign or query redevelopment, and EDB will not rewrite customer queries directly.
(7) Instance provisioning must be done by the customer on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL.

EnterpriseDB may have to substitute Remote DBA personnel from time to time, and will provide a backup that has reasonable knowledge and is able to fill in for the primary team member(s). At any time EnterpriseDB reserves the right to provide an alternate Remote DBA and will make sure that they have the skills required and knowledge of the Customer's environment.
