Magic Transit makes your network smarter, better, stronger, and cheaper to operate
Cloudflare has announced the launch of its new service, Magic Transit, which provides secure, performant, and reliable IP connectivity to the Internet. The service is built on standards and networking primitives familiar to users and delivered from Cloudflare's global edge network as a service. Magic Transit offers protection against DDoS attacks and enables provisioning of virtual network functions such as advanced packet filtering, load balancing, and traffic management tools. Deployed in front of an on-premise network, it extends the network presence globally and minimizes trade-offs between performance and security. The service aims to bring traditional datacenter hardware model into the cloud, packaging transit with all the necessary network functions for fast, reliable, and secure networks.
