I suspect the story is a bit more complicated.
They seem to learn a lot by centralizing a lot of the internet's traffic through their core. Perhaps it makes their ddos-protection more robust when they can train on "what normal usage" looks like "for the longer tail".
Perhaps they are building moats around that business and expecting a future when Fortune1000 requires their cdn.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoI don't think that's correct. Their CDN is based on their SDN. Which is also at the core of all their products, including DDOS protection. Their primary product is the SDN and a CDN was a logical pick as first product "release". Eg. You shouldn't consider their products in "regions" as traditional cloud providers. In cloudflare it's programmable, not configurable.
