COPA

When your business operations is disrupted by a public cloud service outage, COPA automatically triggers a payout that is correlated with the amount of downtime that your business experiences.

Payout

Unlike traditional risk-management solutions, such as classic insurance coverage, COPA doesn't measure post-hoc damages that your business suffers from cloud service disruptions before issuing payout. Instead, COPA relies on technical benchmarks to determine whether your business' cloud architecture has been impacted. If so, COPA automatically triggers the appropriate payout to your business.

Payouts are calculated as a function of the disruption time that your business experiences due to a public cloud service outage, multiplied by a preset lock-in hourly rate. Black Swan Technology experts work with your business to structure the appropriate lock-in rate given your company's cloud architecture, risk tolerance, and desired protection levels to design the optimal hedging strategy.

We designed COPA to be a smart contract that automatically triggers payouts whenever your business is disrupted by cloud service outages. We've eliminated the burdensome claims processes that plagued traditional insurance models. The expediency of COPA payouts provides a clear advantage for businesses that need to focus on operational recovery, rather than dealing with the bureaucracy of filing claims.

Who says financial instruments have to be complicated? We've built tools to help your business easily manage, monitor, and track COPA payouts.
