AWS Monitoring and Support

Rebura offer 24×7 monitoring and support, with a 15-minute SLA. All of our monitoring and support services are built around being pro-active and resolving potential issues before any downtime.
Unrivalled support for your cloud environment
Not every business has the capacity or technical expertise required to effectively manage their AWS environment alone.
Rebura provides 24/7 monitoring and problem resolution, delivering robust, reliable support for your cloud environment. We know a proactive approach to monitoring infrastructure is the best way to minimise downtime. With our comprehensive 24/7 monitoring, we’re able to get ahead of many potential issues that might crop up. But even with the best defences, problems can sometimes arise. That’s why our team is available around the clock to offer unrivalled support and deal with issues fast.
With Rebura in your corner, you’ll be assigned both a Solutions Architect and a Dev-Ops Engineer who will be your first points of contact for any technical issues. Of course, you’ll have the backing of the entire team, but we believe it’s important to have go-to support contacts who get to know your business and your system inside-out so they can find solutions to your issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Rebura support desk can be contacted via phone, email, or through our web portal. All support requests are assigned a ticket for reference; users can access their outstanding tickets through the web portal to check for updates and estimated completion times.
