Enhanced and premium support options in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provide customers with additional services and benefits to ensure a high level of assistance and resolution for their cloud computing needs. These options are designed to cater to different requirements and provide varying levels of support based on the customer's needs and preferences.
1. Enhanced Support:
Enhanced Support is a support package that offers a range of benefits beyond the standard support provided by Google Cloud Customer Care. Some of the key features of Enhanced Support include:
a. Faster response times: With Enhanced Support, customers receive faster response times for their support cases. This ensures that critical issues are addressed promptly, minimizing any potential impact on business operations.
b. Extended coverage: Enhanced Support offers extended coverage hours, allowing customers to access support during weekends and outside of regular business hours. This ensures that assistance is available when it is needed the most, regardless of the time zone.
c. Case priority: Customers with Enhanced Support enjoy higher case priority, which means their support cases are given greater attention and are escalated more quickly. This helps in resolving issues faster and minimizing any potential downtime.
d. Expert access: Enhanced Support provides customers with access to a team of technical experts who have in-depth knowledge of GCP. These experts can provide guidance, best practices, and recommendations to help customers optimize their cloud infrastructure and resolve complex issues.
2. Premium Support:
Premium Support is a higher-tier support package that offers an even higher level of service and benefits compared to Enhanced Support. In addition to all the features of Enhanced Support, Premium Support includes:
a. 24/7 coverage: Premium Support offers round-the-clock coverage, ensuring that customers have access to support at any time, including holidays. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that operate globally and cannot afford any downtime.

The TAM develops a deep understanding of the customer's environment and provides proactive guidance, strategic planning, and ongoing support.
c. Proactive support and monitoring: Premium Support includes proactive monitoring and support services to identify and address potential issues before they impact the customer's environment. This helps in minimizing disruptions and optimizing the performance of the cloud infrastructure.
d. Training and enablement: Premium Support customers receive access to exclusive training resources, workshops, and events to enhance their knowledge and skills in using GCP effectively. This helps customers leverage the full potential of GCP and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.
