EXTENDED hardware repair WARRANTY Radisys delivers tested and proven embedded solutions and systems. We back our products with long lifecycle support and an Extended Warranty Services program. Radisys has perfected internal processes and procedures to deliver exceptional support with predictable results. This means you no longer need to keep as many spare parts in stock and you can manage component inventories more effectively. Extended warranty is available to customers with a large installed base that is scheduled to be in beyond the standard two-year warranty period. Taking advantage of the Radisys extended warranty allows you to protect your initial investment, contain costs, and minimize downtime. Available Warranties Original Warranty 2 years Extended Warranty Option 3-5 years Extended Warranty Pricing Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Time of HW Sale Purchase Post Sale HW Purchase 4% 4% 4% 6% 6% 6% Extended Warranty support covers hardware repairs for the duration of the warranty. All repairs are performed to original equipment specifications by a team of experienced Radisys technicians and sustaining engineers. For products that cannot be repaired, Radisys offers a replacement program during the extended warranty period. Extended Warranty Success Story A Radisys customer with a large international installed base signed up for the extended warranty to provide field unit repairs for their 5-year product life cycle. During that extended warranty period, the customer deployed a new generation hardware platform from Radisys. By signing up for the "enhanced upgrade" extended warranty, Radisys subsequently replaced every product that was returned for repair under extended warranty with the newer generation product, configured according to customer expectations. As a result of this, the customer maintained a high level of satisfaction with their customers by simultaneously resolving an equipment problem and seamlessly upgrading to the newer platform. Radisys Corporation 2014 Platform Engineering Global Services and Support 4
EXTENDED hardware repair REPAIR In order to meet our customers product longevity requirements, Radisys has developed component supply-chain processes to the point that we can extend our hardware repair abilities beyond our product end-of- announcements. This allows customers to extend the field life of their products with continuing repair and technical support. Extended Repair Services may be made available by Radisys upon customer request and are limited by the availability of subcomponents or other factors. Repairs performed during the extended repair period are based on out-of-warranty repair conditions. Extended Repair Success Story The extended repair program allowed a Radisys customer with significant field deployments of ATCAbased systems in a Telco environment to offer a longevity policy for operators. The policy was developed to ensure that the most expensive ATCA system components and the most critical components in terms of manageability will continue to operate in the field for a minimum of 20 years after the first deployment. A feature of this program is that the customer can maintain system performance by replacing processing components without modification to avoid manageability issues. Radisys is continuing to take care of the necessary repairs under this program, well after the end-of- announcement. Radisys Corporation 2014 Platform Engineering Global Services and Support 5
MANUFACTURING OPERATION manufacturing operation SERVICES Radisys supply chain and manufacturing processes are designed to fulfill customer requirements and reduce operations costs.

Manufacturing Operation Services Success Story A customer of Radisys develops high-performance, packet-inspection software, and is deploying marketready solutions in two product versions. A highperformance solution is deployed on a Radisys ATCA hardware platform and a lower-performance solution is deployed on enterprise IA hardware. Both hardware platforms were purchased, and the software was integrated, validated, and shipped to end users in the customer s operation facility. The Manufacturing Operation Services offered by Radisys allowed the customer to significantly reduce operating costs by integrating their operation processes with Radisys operations. Radisys continues to fulfill customer orders in this manner, delivering finished products to end users. As a result, the customer has significantly reduced operation costs and improved their product delivery turn-around time. Radisys offers flexible and scalable models for manufacturing operation. If necessary, manufacturing processes at Radisys can be adjusted to meet customer needs. Our proven manufacturing model can be easily adapted to support specific product requirements.

ADVANCED advanced replacement REPLACEMENT Radisys understands how critical it is for businesses to assure hardware platform continuity in the field. The advanced replacement program is available worldwide for standard products, and ensures that Radisys will respond rapidly to potential field problems. Should a customer notify Radisys of a critical failure in the field, Radisys will immediately initiate the process of shipping a replacement without waiting for the failed unit to be returned to the Radisys repair center. Advanced replacement price is provided based on program expectation evaluation. The Radisys advanced replacement program also has options for expedited field replacements. Plans are available in which Radisys will commit to shipping replacements within 24 or 72 hours. Radisys can also recommend an appropriate number of replacement units to keep in stock by looking at known field failure rates and the size of the customer s installed base. Advanced Replacement Success Story A customer of Radisys who is responsible for maintaining deployed products in a telco operator environment requested next-day replacement shipments for critical system components with recognized problems. The customer is able to deliver timely without maintaining a stock facility or the processes necessary to manage the stock. The customer also introduced a Proactive Maintenance program as an extension of the Radisys Advanced Replacement program. The Radisys Operations team is monitoring all deployed product components to avoid end-of-life surprises, and is arranging field replacements for components such as fan trays and filter ties. By planning replacements in advance, field operation costs are lowered and the overall end-user satisfaction level is increased.
