Strategic collaboration facilitates business
for companies inside and outside of China, the world's largest
online market
Cloudflare (NYSE: NET), the company with a mission to help build
a better Internet, and JD Cloud & AI, the intelligent
technology provider of JD.com, China’s largest retailer, today
announced a strategic partnership to provide a faster and more
secure Internet for global companies doing business in China, and
for Chinese businesses reaching consumers globally. This
collaboration joins Cloudflare’s integrated global cloud platform
with JD Cloud & AI’s extensive China network, infrastructure,
and services—offering a seamless experience for businesses looking
to reach global audiences.
JD Cloud & AI is one of JD.com’s core business units,
focused on technology services that build on its delivery and
retail network. It delivers public, private and hybrid cloud
services through more than 300 product offerings. Bringing together
Cloudflare’s intelligent global platform with JD Cloud & AI’s
robust infrastructure and services inside China will enable
enterprises to seamlessly and securely deploy cloud-based firewall,
distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation, content delivery,
and DNS services worldwide—at the edge and without any need for
hardware or on-premise boxes.
Today, Cloudflare’s global network spans 200 cities in more than
90 countries and regions, including 17 cities in mainland China—a
market Cloudflare first entered in 2015. Over the next three years,
this strategic collaboration will expand Cloudflare’s global
availability across 150 additional data centers in mainland China,
growing the company’s data centers in the region by 700
percent.
“Companies across the globe have had to re-think how they run
their businesses and reach customers especially with the global
pandemic that has impacted every market. Together, Cloudflare and
JD Cloud & AI are partnering to give businesses even more
opportunity to be secure, fast, and reliable with one integrated
global network,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO,
Cloudflare. “We’re minimizing the technical and logistical hurdles
companies face when looking to do business in and out of China. I’m
proud to partner with JD Cloud & AI to continue to offer tools
to help businesses win in the Chinese market and the rest of the
world.”
“I'm thrilled to establish this strategic collaboration with
Cloudflare,” said Dr. Bowen Zhou, President of JD Cloud & AI.
“Cloudflare’s mission of ‘helping to build a better Internet,’
closely aligns with JD Cloud & AI’s commitment to provide the
best service possible to global partners. Leveraging JD.com’s rich
experience across vast business scenarios, as well as its logistics
and technological capabilities, we believe that this collaboration
will provide valuable services that will transform how business is
done for users inside and outside of China.”
Cloudflare offers a truly integrated global network, giving
customers a secure, fast, and reliable experience for visitors
inside and outside of China. Cloudflare customers can enable their
China network within a few clicks, and without changing a single
line of code. Once enabled, their visitors within China will be
served from data centers inside of China, while visitors outside of
China will still be served from the nearest Cloudflare data
center—shaving off seconds of latency for their applications in
China without any additional configuration changes.
As the world’s second largest market, China is important for
global companies like Garmin. Headquartered in Switzerland, the
company relies on a world-class experience for its customers around
the world, including those in mainland China. “Before Cloudflare,
our customers in China experienced a significant lag-time for
updates to their wearable products,” said Aaron Dearinger, Edge
Architect, Garmin International. “After becoming a Cloudflare
customer, our devices updated much faster in China. This was an
important enhancement to the user experience for our
customers.”
China accounts for 21 percent of the 3.8 billion global Internet
users—making it the largest online market today. Austin,
Texas-based National Instruments Corporation, a producer of
automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software, has
invested heavily in China for the last 20 years. “Approximately
one-third of our Internet traffic originates from Asia and a
majority of this traffic is from China,” said Robert Cope, IT
Architect at National Instruments. “Having a highly secure
experience inside of China, with all the performance benefits that
Cloudflare brings, is a key reason why we chose Cloudflare. This
has been especially beneficial since most of our origin servers are
in Austin, Texas. We’re excited about Cloudflare’s continued growth
in the China market and excited to see what’s next.”
