Kyiv, Ukraine: Cloudflare’s 78th Data Center

On April 26, 2016, Cloudflare opened its newest data center in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital and largest city. With over 1,000 years of history, Kyiv was the capital of ancient Kyivan Rus', which is considered the ancestor of modern Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. This marks Cloudflare's 22nd data center in Europe and its 78th globally. By localizing content through new points of interconnection, such as the one in Kyiv, Cloudflare aims to improve website performance for users in various regions by reducing latency. The company plans further expansion in Germany and other European cities.
