KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare, a leading Internet security, performance and reliability company has successfully registered the phrase, ‘The Network is the Computer’, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The trademark reflects the company’s approach to utilising its network to pave way for the future of the Internet, according to a statement.
The phrase was first coined in 1984 by John Gage, the 21st employee of Sun Microsystems, where he was credited with building Sun’s vision. When Sun was acquired in 2010, the trademark was not renewed but the vision remained.
In honouring the acquisition of Sun’s former trademark, Cloudflare CTO, John Graham-Cumming has spoken to Sun Microsystems’s John Gage, Greg Papadopoulos and Ray Rothrock to learn more about the history of the phrase and what it means for the future.
Cloudflare's massive network, which spans more than 180 cities in 80 countries enables the company to deliver its suite of security, performance and reliability products including its serverless edge computing offerings.
It has experienced continuous network growth, with global Anycast network now powering more than 18 million domains, websites, APIs and mobile applications, and currently interconnected with more than 7,500 networks globally.
