Service Level Agreement (SLA)

A Service Level Ageement (SLA) is a contract with a company or department for maintaining and repairing equipment or providing other services. This is typically an agreement between an IT Service Provider and a Customer. The SLA describes the service, establishes service level targets, and specifies the responsibilities of the IT Service Provider (ISP) and the customer. A single SLA can cover multiple IT Services or multiple customers. The agreement records the common understanding of services, priorities, responsibilities, guarantees, and the level of service. For example, the agreement can specify the level of availability, serviceability, performance, operation, or other attributes of the service, such as billing or penalties in the case of an SLA violation.

In HPE Service Manager, the SLA records are stored in the sla table and accessed using the sla tab.
