Curaçao and Djibouti - two new Cloudflare data centers located where undersea cables meet

Cloudflare has recently added two new data centers (numbers 108 and 109) in Curaçao and Djibouti respectively. Both locations are significant due to their proximity to undersea cables, which play a crucial role in the global internet infrastructure. The Amsterdam Internet Exchange operates AMS-IX Caribbean in Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, while Djibouti serves as a vital communications gateway for landlocked countries like Ethiopia and South Sudan. Undersea cables have become increasingly important in recent years, with their capacity to encode data in multi-Terabit range surpassing that of satellites. Cloudflare's expansion into these locations is part of its ongoing commitment to providing fast internet infrastructure across the globe.
