The independent testing results are in, and CenturyLink Cloud’s Hyperscale cloud compute instances are the ones to beat for key performance measures and total cost of ownership. With the launch of our new Hyperscale server instances, we approached an independent analytics company, CloudHarmony, and asked them to conduct an extended performance test that compared CenturyLink Cloud Hyperscale servers to the best of breed equivalent servers offered by AWS & Rackspace. CloudHarmony is a well-respected shop that collects data from dozens of benchmarks & shares the results publicly for anyone to dissect.

After running a variety of benchmarks over a long period of time (to ensure that the test gave an accurate look over an extended window), they shared their findings with the world.
