Cloudflare, which helps companies make their web services run faster and be more secure – and which more recently started to use its global data center network to also provide cloud computing services – said it would expand the network in the US with three dozen new locations. Shortly thereafter, the company said it would add even more locations in the US – about the same amount as in the first announcement.
It will use Vapor IO and EdgeMicro for edge computing locations. All the locations, Vapor and EdgeMicro, will run Cloudflare’s full set of services.
Today, Cloudflare says it is within 100 milliseconds of 95 percent of the world's population, or 99 percent if you look at internet users in the developed world,” said Nitin Rao, head of global infrastructure at Cloudflare.
EdgeMicro suggests the new edge deployments show initial roundtrip statistics of between 50 and 75 milliseconds. The company believes it can get down to sub-20, maybe even sub-10 milliseconds.
Each remotely-managed Vapor site has between 150kW and 180kW of power capacity across high-density 35kW racks. EdgeMicro says most of its clients want 8kW to 10kW per rack, and the Cloudflare deployment is smaller than that.
