The Lumen Public Cloud, developed by Lumen Technologies, is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud platform designed for hosting virtual private cloud servers and bare metal cloud servers. It offers a scalable and flexible solution for businesses of all sizes, catering to both small businesses and large enterprises. The Lumen Public Cloud is widely used by IT professionals, developers, software development companies, e-commerce businesses, healthcare organizations, and financial institutions.

## Key Features

**Load Balancer**: According to the vendor, the load balancer enables infrastructure scalability to meet application demands and ensures fast delivery of applications to end users. It is delivered as a service, allowing developers to focus on application development.

**Pricing**: The vendor offers various load balancer subscription options, including Cloud Load Balancer Subscription, Cloud Load Balancer Usage, and Shared Load Balancer, each priced per hour.

**Resources**: The vendor provides a comprehensive knowledge base with articles on load balancing configurations, HTTP and SSL pools, and more. Self-Service Load Balancing FAQs are also available for additional information.

**Related Products**: Lumen Technologies offers additional products such as Firewall, Cloud Servers, VPN, DNS, and Direct Connect.

**Public Cloud Servers**: The vendor claims that the Lumen Public Cloud allows users to deploy virtual private cloud servers with unique security, performance, and management capabilities. It is suitable for both small development initiatives and robust enterprise IT operations.

**Bare Metal Cloud Servers**: According to the vendor, the Lumen Public Cloud combines the computing power and single tenancy of a physical server with the flexibility and automation of a virtual machine. Users can deploy bare metal cloud servers in minutes and integrate them with virtual machines for a hybrid IT solution.

**Unified Administration**: The vendor states that the Lumen Public Cloud allows users to automate daily server administration and cloud management functions with power operations, logical grouping, and APIs to simplify complex tasks and free up IT staff.

**Infrastructure**: Users can provision high-performing virtual machines with various operating systems, storage, and memory options. The Lumen Public Cloud relies on fully redundant enterprise-class hardware and high-speed virtual LANs.

**Run a Variety of Modern Operating Systems**: The vendor claims that users can choose from a range of operating systems, including Windows Server, CentOS, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Ubuntu, to run on their servers.

We used it primarily for app hosting within an individual department

Offloading the requirements for hosting apps in house - cost savings
Access ability - users could access documents and programs from anywhere
Collaborative work ability - multiple users could work within the same enviornment

Perhaps ease of use - it's not convoluted but a little more streamlined of an interface would be great
Make your presence more known - in a world of heavily advertised cloud options CenturyLink is not at the top of the pile and I think it may be due to a lack of awareness in the business community. Advertise!
Streamline functionality - interface can be a little slow at times.
