Tickets are opened via the trouble ticket opening tool, from the Cloud Customer Area.

Coaching
The Cloud Expertise cell is made up of vmware virtualization experts. They are regularly in contact with our clients to fulfill all types of assignments, among which we find:
- “discovery” sessions of the functionalities of the vCD portal and other components of the Cloud Avenue offer
- the joint development of the target architecture of your solution from your existing one when you decide to migrate to Cloud Avenue
- daily advice when improving the skills of our clients’ teams
- diagnostic assistance, “troubleshooting” in the event of an incident not related to the service (the Customer may have misconfigured certain parameters preventing communication between VMs)
- rapid action on P1 incidents, if support option
- personalized and detailed reports, as well as recommendations for sizing VMs or networks
Our experts are accessible:
- for Customers in standard support, by ordering expertise packs, from the Cloud Customer Space
- for Customers with support option, via the fixed monthly expertise hours attached to the option subscribed.
