Cloudflare partners Alibaba Cloud to expand Bandwidth Alliance

KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has expanded the Bandwidth Alliance by partnering with Alibaba Cloud, the data intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group.

The Bandwidth Alliance, launched in September 2018, is a group of forward-thinking cloud and networking companies committed to discounting or waiving data transfer fees (also known as bandwidth fees) for shared customers.

Currently, the Bandwidth Alliance includes 20 partners, all committed to providing the most performant and cost-efficient experience for mutual customers, according to a statement.

By joining the Bandwidth Alliance, customers using both Alibaba Cloud Object Storage, and Cloudflare products, will have their data egress fees waived outside mainland China if OSS products are purchased from alibabacloud.com.

“In addition to waiving the egress fee, Alibaba Cloud will also waive up to 100 million API requests, and 10TB image processing fees for all customers in regions outside of China after joining the Bandwidth Alliance,” said Alibaba Cloud senior director (Product Management), Alex Chen.

Cloudflare has long had an international presence, with co-location facilities in 200 cities across more than 90 countries, including China. It recently partnered with Cherry Servers, a provider of bare metal cloud services in Europe, as part of the Bandwidth Alliance.
