Istanbul (not Constantinople): Cloudflare’s 124th Data Center

Cloudflare has opened its newest data center in Istanbul, Turkey, marking its 124th global data center and 62nd country. This is also the company's 34th data center in Europe. The expansion comes as part of a plan to announce nearly one new data center per day throughout March 2018. Istanbul, with a population of over 16 million people, has a significant internet presence and high mobile broadband usage. Turkey is also experiencing rapid adoption of social media and e-commerce due to its young population.
