KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has announced Oracle is joining the Bandwidth Alliance as the latest cloud provider committing to eliminate unnecessary data transfer fees.
Now, organisations that use both Cloudflare cybersecurity solutions and Oracle's cloud infrastructure will automatically save money by avoiding the high data transfer fees charged by cloud providers outside of the Bandwidth Alliance.
“Businesses deserve choice and fair pricing, but unfortunately certain vendors choose to lock in customers by making it prohibitively expensive to transfer data out,” said Cloudflare co-founder and CEO, Matthew Prince based on a statement.
“We started the Bandwidth Alliance to counter this threat and work with others to pass bandwidth cost savings along to businesses. We applaud Oracle for joining the mission to bring businesses the benefits of vendor choice and lower egress fees.”
Together with Cloudflare, Oracle will offer mutual customers zero egress for data sourced from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage starting with regions in North America.
“We’ve always relentlessly focused on providing customers with choice on their cloud journey – whether that means adopting a multicloud or hybrid cloud approach,” said Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
“We also don’t believe that customers should be taxed for moving the data that they own in and out of cloud environments or their own data centre. We want to help customers extract the most value out of their most valuable asset – their data. This is why we’re partnering with Cloudflare to address a pricing strategy that is ripe for change.”
