Windows NT Server Fileshare Creation - This service component includes the formatting and partitioning of one previously-installed 9.0 or less GB disk drive, plus the creation and setup of one fileshare on the local disk, which is physically installed in the server. Then up to five previously networked PC clients are configured by mapping them to the new server-based fileshare.

Other service plans include:

Priority Service Plan

The Priority Service Plan (also known as Point of Product Sales (POPS) Service) is an industry leading approach to quoting support services. Our direct and indirect sales channels can now perform a single table look-up and provide your customers with one service part number and price for a complete configuration. Using the One-Step Quoting Table, the service price is determined by the total value of the product order, regardless of the number of products ordered. Compaq is outpacing the competition, which continues to price system services by individual product items.

Bronze Support for Windows NT

Bronze Software Support for Microsoft Windows NT is designed to help your customer maintain high system availability and top software performance in your non-critical Windows NT software environment.

The service offers telephone access to Product Specialists during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday, customer local time) for expert assistance in problem diagnosis and resolution. It also includes around-the-clock electronic access to symptom/solution databases.

As a result, help in such areas as system management upgrades, new features, and known problems, plus valuable operational advice, is only a call or a few keystrokes away - not just for Windows NT, but for the full range of popular software for client/server environments, including Microsoft BackOffice.
