Cloudflare interconnects with OCI

Cloudflare has arranged to make its connectivity cloud platform available natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as part of a new partnership between the two companies.

The agreement is aimed at helping organisations run applications and AI workloads across any cloud environment. Joint customers will be able to leverage Cloudflare’s capabilities across hybrid, multicloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure hosted applications.

For enhanced security, these capabilities will include DDoS protection, web application firewalls, bot mitigation and zero trust controls. In addition, users will be able to protect their vendor ecosystem with rate limiting, threat intelligence and data protection tools.

Cloudflare Chief Partner Officer Tom Evans said the partnership reflects how AI is transforming the way organisations and employee operate, but also transforming the threat environment.

“Organisations need a comprehensive platform that delivers flexibility, performance and security,” he said. “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.”

Oracle North America Group VP for ISV Ecosystems David Hicks added that the agreement underscores the company’s commitment to helping customers run their most critical workloads securely, reliably and at scale.

“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,” he said. “Together, we will give businesses the confidence to innovate and grow, knowing their applications and data are protected every step of the way.”
