Cloudflare follows Amazon; plans to set up data centre in Kingdom
Following Amazon Web Services’ announcement to set up a data center in Bahrain, another global technology company has also announced a similar decision. Cloudflare, a top global US-based company, has also said that it will be setting up a data centre in Bahrain. This was announced by Dr. Michael Nelson, a senior executive from the company. Cloudflare is one of the top cloud computing companies with more than 150 data centers around the world.
Dr. Nelson was in Bahrain to give a keynote presentation at the Innovation Forum organized by The MIT Enterprise Forum Pan Arab in partnership with the Bahrain Economic Development Board and with the support of Internet Society yesterday. Speaking to Tribune he said that no timescale has been established for the data center, adding that it will be done “soon”. “We are still working to develop a data center here. We work with the local phone companies, the local Internet companies or the local data center companies to establish the data center,” he told Tribune.
