Understanding Cloudflare's network architecture

For decades, enterprise IT relied on a “hub and spoke” security model. But between the explosion of cloud infrastructure, SaaS apps and a remote workforce, that old perimeter hasn't just cracked—it’s shattered. In an attempt to stay on top of the advancing perimeter, many different solutions from many vendors entered the market and created a "spaghetti mess" of point solutions that drive up costs and tank user experience. Cloudflare is an answer to this problem, delivering everything you need to secure your apps, networks, users, data and devices.

In this whiteboard session, we move past the marketing hype to look at the actual architecture. We explore how our Connectivity Cloud approach allows you to secure your workforce and applications anywhere on Earth—from a home office to 30,000 feet.

What we cover:

The clean perimeter myth: Why the traditional data center model has failed.
The problem of deploying many point solutions. Managing cost, complexity, integration and overall manageability.
Connectivity cloud design: How a massive scale, modular, edge-first design simplifies multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
Scaling to every need: Using our developer services to compose solutions that address every use case.
