We are excited to announce an Azure Support upgrade for our most committed enterprise customers. From May 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017, eligible Microsoft Azure customers will receive a one-year support upgrade. This upgrade is designed to give you an additional level of support on your journey to the cloud, and it comes at no charge.
Eligible customers who don’t choose to purchase support will automatically get Azure Standard support which offers unlimited technical assistance for subscription management and break-fix issues. Customers who purchase Azure Standard support will be upgraded to Professional Direct. Professional Direct support offers faster initial response and escalation management for high priority issues, proactive monitoring of business critical support issues and account management. And if you purchase Professional Direct support, you get even more. You can learn more about the support upgrade here.
The Azure team is committed to helping customers achieve more with the power of the cloud. With unparalleled end-to end enterprise cloud experience from support, to value, to the most comprehensive offerings spanning SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, on-premises datacenters and hybrid environments, we remain laser focused on meeting your needs.
