What makes CIQ support different

Fewer handoffs, faster resolution

When you file a ticket, it routes directly to a support engineer familiar with your product and environment. CIQ's support structure reduces the triage layers between your initial report and the team that works the fix.

Your full stack, one support team

CIQ supports the full infrastructure layer: Rocky Linux (RLC Pro, RLC Pro Hardened, RLC Pro AI), Fuzzball for HPC and AI orchestration, Warewulf Pro for bare-metal provisioning, and Ascender Pro for automation.

RLC+: CIQ's free Rocky Linux tier

RLC+ serves developers, cloud-native teams, and organizations evaluating Enterprise Linux. It includes integrated GPU drivers (AMD, NVIDIA) and CIQ Portal access.

RLC+ users can submit tickets to CIQ though no service-level agreement (SLA) applies; responses are not guaranteed and subject to availability. For production workloads that need guaranteed response times, long-term support (LTS), or FIPS 140-3 compliance, upgrade to RLC Pro.

Standard and Premium support

CIQ offers two support tiers for commercial products. Standard provides Enterprise-grade support during your own business hours.. Premium offers 24/7 coverage with 30-minute Severity 1 response times.
