    Lumen Technologies
    CenturyLink Private Cloud is well suited for companies that are smaller and wouldn't have to undergo scaling for a longer time. Apart from that, it does well in almost all categories. It wouldn't actually be useful for bigger companies since the UI is a bit laggy sometimes and usually, it's not advisable for big companies.

    It is only suitable for a vSphere deployment. This particular cluster is best suited for very demanding workloads.

    • Deployment was very easy. Pivot3 staff were involved in the POC, and the transition was fairly smooth.
    • This is an all-flash hyperconverged cluster. It is easily scalable and has excellent performance.
    • We frequently burst internal virtual workloads, and this 5 node cluster can support around 15,000 IOPs and 1 GB/sec of throughput.

    Cons
    Lumen Technologies
    • UI can be really improved, since it sometimes lags a lot
    • Very few know about the product, so they should advertise a bit more
    • There maybe scaling issues since it's a relatively smaller company compared to its competitors

    • The cluster is actually very easy to use. It might be nice if the dashboard had more detailed metrics, but those are available in a different interface.

    It doesn't stack up that well against them, since these are big companies and have huge infrastructures and they provide smooth scaling features. However CenturyLink Private Cloud is a little concise and not many people know about it, so I feel like they should advertise more and try to improve their customer outreach.

    We reviewed the technology and pricing prior to commencing a POC. Pivot3 looked the best initially and delivered. We did not test the others ourselves.

    Return on Investment
    Lumen Technologies
    • We reduced our cloud hosting costs a lot after switching to CenturyLink Private Cloud
    • Maintenance is very easy since there is documentation available for every part
    • It had some issues with the UI but we can neglect those considering the pricing options they provide.

    • Definitely a positive ROI. We are not seeing some of the latency issues that were beginning to crop up on our older hardware.
