Dublin, Ireland: CloudFlare's 38th data center

On August 5th, 2015, Cloudflare announced the launch of its Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Dublin, Ireland, marking their 38th global and 14th European deployment. This new PoP serves as a point of redundancy for traffic from Ireland's 3.6 million internet users, previously routed through London. The decision to establish the PoP in Dublin was influenced by its growing tech scene, known as Silicon Docks, which houses headquarters of major tech companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Dropbox. Additionally, Dublin is home to Cloudflare customers Web Summit and F.ounders, two premier tech conferences. The company also hinted at a big announcement coming soon and a future PoP in a castle-turned-data center.
