Simplifying how enterprises connect to Cloudflare with Express Cloudflare Network Interconnect

Cloudflare has announced a significant update to its Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI) service, now called Express CNI. This new version aims to make CNIs faster and easier to deploy. Express CNI is a cable that connects a customer's network router directly to Cloudflare, facilitating the direct exchange of information between networks instead of via the internet. It offers improved security, reliability, and speed compared to traditional methods. The update also simplifies how Magic Transit and Magic WAN customers connect to Cloudflare by eliminating the need for GRE tunnels. Additionally, Express CNI is now available in more global locations as new network hardware is installed.
