Cloudflare

Cloudflare, Inc, the leading cloud connectivity company, announced that all connectivity elements of Cloudflare’s SASE platform, Cloudflare One , are now generally available. Cloudflare’s SASE offering addresses both security and network transformation needs without adding complexity – a key differentiator for protecting hybrid workforce.

As organizations migrate to the cloud to accelerate innovation and maintain a competitive advantage, they often struggle with network complexity and the need to connect and secure distributed workforces, devices, applications and data centers – all without sacrificing performance. Without a flexible IT infrastructure, organizations face issues such as security vulnerabilities from distributed users and personal devices, posing significant risk to corporate data and increasing overall costs. To combat this, companies are moving to using single-vendor SASE platforms. According to Gartner®, 60% of new SD-WAN purchases will be part of a single-vendor SASE offering by 2026, up from 15% in 2023. Cloudflare One enables customers to Adopt SASE as it fits with your existing deployments, including native single-vendor deployments with Cloudflare or leveraging existing SD-WAN deployments. Magic WAN Connector, Cloudflare’s branch appliance, can run on the hardware ofTD SYNNEX , a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem, can be pre-installed or installed in companies’ existing environments.
