2.7. Remote Admin Remote Admin is available as standard with the Elite and Enterprise subscriptions. If you require remote admin services with your Professional Plus Sub, then it is available as an additional subscription and is detailed below for your consideration: Overview of Service Acquia s remote site administration ( RA ) service provides for Acquia to handle typical and routine administration tasks that includes normal maintenance tasks and minor site modifications that would typically be handled by an on-site administrator for a fully designed and operating site. This includes proactive, timely security updates for Drupal core and contributed modules. Proactive Drupal Core and Contributed Module Security Updates Acquia proactively applies and deploys Drupal Core and Contributed Module security updates as they are made available by the Drupal Security Team. A portion of the Remote Administration time available each month is used to apply updates, communicate throughout the process, and deploy the results if updates are required for your site in a given month. Acquia uses specialized tools to minimize the time needed for applying security updates and communicating and the time required will vary depending on site complexity and Client testing and deployment procedures. Process and Requirements Requests to perform RA services are submitted to Acquia using Acquia s standard ticket submission system. Acquia will perform RA services from its own premises using remote electronic access to Client s systems and accounts. Client is entitled to a maximum of ten (10) RA Services Hours per month, per code base. Hours in excess of the maximum RA Services Hours may be subject to Excess Usage fees. Website modification tasks are limited to those that may be accomplished within the allotted RA Service Hours. Client will provide Acquia with administrative level access to all systems and accounts required to perform the RA tasks. o o Acquia requires access to one or more development/testing servers to facilitate the testing and deployment of updates in connection with this service. Acquia will assist with configuring three QA/development/test servers to support the test and deployment process using a code repository and revision control. Acquia does not provide RA services for Clients operating within a Windows environment.
Tasks within Scope of RA Services The types of Drupal administration tasks that are typically within the scope of RA services are: Security updates for unmodified Drupal core and contributed modules Module installation and configuration Module feature updates on request Basic creation and modification of views and content types Recommendations for bug fixes to modules installed on Client s Website(s) Tasks outside of Scope of RA Services: Certain website maintenance activities required to properly maintain a fully functioning website are not within the scope of RA Services and must be handled by the Client.

These tasks include but are not limited to: Major version upgrades of Drupal or modules Major version upgrades of Views, CCK, or other modules Custom module or theme development Significant changes to the design or architecture of the Website(s) Building a new website Data migration from other websites, systems, or versions of Drupal to the Website(s) In-depth performance or security analysis Content management, creation, or translation Graphic design Usability or accessibility testing Site load testing unless expressly included in an Order Acquia will not configure, diagnose, administer or repair: DNS or domain names Non-Acquia Cloud hardware Software not directly related to running Drupal Integrations (will diagnose up to the Drupal integration point)

Infrastructure Support Acquia provides full infrastructure support to any Client running its applications on Acquia Cloud, Acquia Cloud Enterprise or Acquia Cloud Site Factory platforms. However, If a Client chooses to host their application internally or with a third party provider, Acquia Support is unable to provide troubleshooting and/or support assistance with the infrastructure. This limitation includes reviewing the Client s hardware, settings, and non-supported software infrastructure. Acquia Professional Services is able to provide assistance in these areas as well as with overall infrastructure architecture. 11.
