Colombo, Sri Lanka: Six million Internet properties now faster for six million Internet users

On May 9th, 2017, Cloudflare announced the addition of four new data centers to its network. The first of these is located in Colombo, Sri Lanka, marking their 112th global data center and 38th in Asia. This expansion will significantly improve internet performance for six million properties using Cloudflare across Sri Lanka. Previously, users were served from Singapore or Dubai data centers. The country has experienced a surge of over one million new internet users in the past year alone, with room for further growth at its current 30% internet penetration rate. Further deployment details are expected to be revealed later that week, which will provide additional redundancy to existing facilities in North America and Africa. Cloudflare also encourages interested individuals to join their team in building one of the world's largest networks.
