Cloudflare has introduced its Global Private Backbone, a private fiber connection network that links Cloudflare locations worldwide. The backbone benefits all Cloudflare customers and works in tandem with Argo, the company's intelligent routing service. Argo uses real-time global network information to route around internet issues such as brownouts, cable cuts, and packet loss, making the internet faster, more reliable, and secure on every hop worldwide. The Global Private Backbone adds further security, reliability, and speed to key connections between Cloudflare locations.
