Cloudflare Global Network Expands to 193 Cities

Cloudflare has expanded its global network to 193 cities across 90+ countries, adding new locations in 2019 such as Amman, Antananarivo, Arica, Asunción, Baku, Bengaluru, Buffalo, Casablanca, Córdoba, Cork, Curitiba, Dakar, Dar es Salaam, Fortaleza, Geneva, Göteborg, Guatemala City, Hyderabad, Kigali, Kolkata, Male, Maputo, Nagpur, Neuquén, Nicosia, Nouméa, Ottawa, Port-au-Prince, Porto Alegre, Querétaro, Ramallah, and Thessaloniki. The company initially focused on major Internet exchanges but has since partnered with local ISPs to improve speed and reduce costs for both parties. In addition to adding new locations, Cloudflare has increased capacity in existing cities by over 8,000 unique networks directly connected with them. Efficient infrastructure deployment is a key factor in their success, as they need to accommodate varying user bases and adapt to location-specific variables. The company's architecture enables every server to support every service, improving hardware efficiency and load balancing workloads between equipment and locations. Cloudflare is currently hiring for various positions within the Infrastructure group.
