We are 500 miles away so anything that needs to be done requires $150/hour hands and eyes. But this was built into the budget so it was not unexpected.

    CenturyLink Co-Location Services to make your own Private Cloud.

    Feb 27, 2017
    We are using CenturyLink Co-Location services. We are hosting a private cloud at their facility. Overall the process was excellent. Any bumps we had we worked with CenturyLink. We contracted with them to help migration our existing servers into our VMware installation.

    Very solid colocation services provider, but with uncertainty about future direction

    4.0
    Dec 5, 2016
    CenturyLink provides a stable colocation solution which met our needs to host our private cloud and dedicated infrastructure platforms. Contracts and service orders are clearly structured and pricing is competitive. In recent months, CenturyLink has been very challenged in response times during negotiations of terms and pricing, extending the timeline far longer than is customary. We believe there is internal instability given the announced changes in strategic direction. But, overall, CenturyLink is a solid service provider and we are confident that regardless of the eventual outcomes, we are in very good hands with this provider.
