On February 3, 2012, CloudFlare launched its Miami data center, marking the company's 14th facility and one of their largest. The new data center is expected to serve Central and South America, significantly reducing latency and increasing capacity in a rapidly growing region. Located within the NAP of the Americas, the Miami data center has already begun serving over 1.1 Gbps of traffic shortly after going online. As network expansion continues throughout 2012, CloudFlare plans to add more locations worldwide.
