Frequently asked questions
How can I order an HDS service?
To use HDS products, you must sign an HDS contract that lists the specific products and have an active minimum required support plan.
Can I sign the HDS contract through the Scaleway Console?
No, you cannot sign the HDS contract directly in the Console. You must go through our sales team.
When the contract is signed, does HDS compliance apply to the client's entire organization, or only to the products and resources specifically listed in the contract?
HDS compliance is strictly defined by the scope of the contract.
- The agreement covers only the HDS-certified products selected at the time of the initial signing.
- If a customer decides to add a new product at a later date, that product is not automatically covered and would require an amendment to the contract.
If a new product becomes HDS-certified after an initial contract has been signed, does the customer need to sign an amendment to include it?
Yes. If a product becomes HDS-certified after the initial contract is signed, it is not automatically covered. An amendment to the contract must be executed to officially include the new product within the scope of HDS coverage.
Is it possible to use HDS-certified products alongside non-HDS products within the same architecture or infrastructure?
Yes, it is possible to have both HDS and non-HDS products within the same organization or environment.
