Introducing Cloudflare Network Interconnect

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI), which allows customers to directly connect their branch and HQ locations with Cloudflare's network, bringing the company's full suite of network functions to their physical network edge. CNI offers security, reliability, and performance benefits compared to using the public Internet to connect to Cloudflare. It provides dedicated on-ramps for customers’ on-prem networks to get onto Cloudflare's highways. The service is available in three options: via a private network interconnect (PNI), over an Internet Exchange (IX), or through one of their interconnection platform partners.
