The partnership is designed to deliver faster, more secure internet content.
EdgeConneX® has announced a partnership with leading web performance and security company CloudFlare, to host its cloud-based edge services platform and Content Delivery Network (CDN) within EdgeConneX Edge Data Centers® (EDC). CloudFlare’s next-generation web performance and security platform utilizes the latest technology to process millions of requests per second. Pairing CloudFlare with one of the most geographically optimized data center infrastructures means that EdgeConneX customers will experience a faster and more secure web.
As the fastest-growing CDN in the world, serving two million customers, CloudFlare processes more than 5% of global Internet requests through its network, and has mitigated more than 200 billion cyber attacks on behalf of its customers in just the last month. CloudFlare’s selection of EdgeConneX was driven by its strategy for mitigating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks without sacrificing user experience. EdgeConneX has a distributed EDC footprint that enables CloudFlare to deliver its content faster and more securely to customers nationwide. EdgeConneX is the fastest-growing data center provider of N+1 concurrently maintainable infrastructure and will soon be able to support CloudFlare on a global basis.
