Quantum's Bronze Support Plan is an economical choice for single-site storage environments or non-critical operations. Quantum Bronze customers get free telephone support and next business day on-site service, making it ideal for small or mid-size organizations that want a cost effective, yet responsive support solution.

For immediate assistance worldwide, Quantum's Technical Assistance Centers (QTACs) provide telephone support Monday through Friday during regular business hours. QTAC's skilled service professionals can answer technical questions and assist with equipment operation. If on-site service is needed, QTAC will mobilize other support resources from within Quantum's Global Services Team. A centralized help and dispatch center, QTAC has locations in North America, Asia, and Europe and offers multi-language support.

When on-site service is required, QTAC will dispatch authorized service personnel to your site to restore equipment to normal operation. The Bronze Support Plan entitles you to next business day response. Technicians will arrive on-site between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding nationally recognized holidays.

To ensure optimal equipment operation, Quantum products may generate an automatic alert when preventive maintenance is recommended. Customers can schedule preventive maintenance between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding nationally recognized holidays.

Whenever possible, Quantum will perform remedial maintenance without disrupting normal equipment operation.
