Cloudflare, a leading connectivity cloud company, has announced that its connectivity cloud platform will be available natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for customers worldwide. This will enable joint customers to leverage Cloudflare’s security, performance and resiliency directly from OCI across hybrid, multicloud and OCI-hosted applications.
Recently, a Forrester Research report found that 73% of enterprise networking infrastructure and telecommunications decision-makers said their firms were adopting multicloud networking. These environments enable organisations to mix and match the best features from different cloud providers, but managing and securing them often involves complex, resource-intensive, manual configurations. In addition, as organisations adopt AI applications and workloads at an increasing rate, their cloud environments are becoming even more complex, making it more important than ever to have visibility, control and protection over all their applications.
“We can all see how AI is transforming the way organisations and their employees operate and we need to pay equal attention to how AI is expanding our threat landscapes,” said Tom Evans, Chief Partner Officer at Cloudflare. “Organisations need a comprehensive platform that delivers flexibility, performance and security. Our integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will help ensure businesses everywhere, across any cloud environment, can run their workloads on a unified platform with security and speed at the forefront.”
“At Oracle, we are committed to helping our customers run their most critical workloads securely, reliably and at scale,” said David Hicks, Group Vice President, ISV Ecosystem, Oracle North America. “Through our partnership with Cloudflare, we will enable organisations to protect cloud and AI workloads while enhancing resilience and performance across hybrid and multicloud environments. Together, we will give businesses the confidence to innovate and grow, knowing their applications and data are protected every step of the way.”
Cloudflare runs one of the largest and most interconnected networks in the world, with its connectivity cloud platform delivering global Internet security, speed and reliability for a wide range of organisations, including start-ups, enterprises and governments. With Oracle and Cloudflare, organisations can benefit from a complete solution to secure their applications, enable innovation across cloud environments and optimise end-user application performance and security.
