Downtime Insurance for CDN Services
Your customers expect your web applications to be up and running at all times, but you have no control over what happens when your CDN service provider goes down.
This is where Parametrix comes in with our simple and smart policies for businesses that rely on CDN for their mission-critical activities. Our policies cover financial damages you incur from a CDN outage.
What Happens When Your CDN Service Goes Down?
CDNs distribute internet content across the globe, and are mission critical to businesses with an online presence. The top providers include Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS Cloufront and Fastly. A single hour of CDN downtime can cost companies between tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Do you really want to risk the financial exposure created by your CDN provider’s downtime events? While your CDN provider may compensate you with credits, you still need to cover an array of financial losses including:
Lost Revenues
Downtime can strain your company’s financial reserves due to unexpected monetary exposures which increase the volatility of your cash flows.
Lost End-user Productivity
When services stop working, productivity grinds to a halt for both internal and external users who are unable to access the services they need.
Customer Compensation
The need to offer compensation to customers in order to mitigate the damage to your brand’s reputation can directly affect your balance sheet.
Lost or Damaged Data
Downtime can prevent data from being captured, recorded and stored, requiring time-consuming work as people have to re-enter or reconfigure it later.
Lost Employee Productivity
Your IT and service teams need to shift from their normal working activities to figuring out how to support customers & bring the business back online.
Reputational Damage
Your customer service, marketing and sales teams need to handle the negative feedback and update clients, some of whom may never come back.
