Johannesburg: CloudFlare’s 30th data center

On December 9, 2014, Cloudflare opened its 30th data center in Johannesburg, marking its first location in Africa. This new data center will improve the performance of websites and mobile apps using Cloudflare for users across Southern Africa, including South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, and Zambia. Latency has significantly decreased in these regions since the launch of the Johannesburg data center. The expansion into Africa is part of Cloudflare's mission to help bridge the digital divide by improving internet access and performance on the continent.
