Seattle: CloudFlare's 17th Data Center

On July 27, 2012, Matthew Prince announced that CloudFlare has opened its 17th data center in Seattle, Washington. This expansion will help serve traffic from the Pacific Northwest and reduce load on San Jose, one of their busiest data centers. Additionally, they have updated their network map to represent land as shades of gray instead of blue, addressing confusion among customers who believed water should be blue, not land. As a side note, Prince mentioned that CloudFlare has processed over 400 billion page views and saved 40 petabytes of bandwidth for its users.
