CLOUDFLARE R2 STORAGE WAY BETTER FOR DEVELOPERS TO STORE EVERYTHING NEEDED

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has announced Cloudflare R2 Storage, a better way for developers to store everything they need with automatic migration of data from S3-compatible services to make switching easy.

Cloudflare R2 Storage, designed for the edge, will offer the ability to store large amounts of data, expanding what’s possible with Cloudflare while slashing the egress bandwidth fees associated with cloud provider storage to zero, according to a statement.

Cloudflare co-founder and chief executive officer, Matthew Prince said: “Our aim is to make R2 Storage the least expensive, most reliable option for storing data, with no egress charges. I’m constantly amazed by what developers are building on our platform, and look forward to continued innovation as we expand the tools they have access to.”

In order to build websites and applications, developers need a place to store photos, videos, and graphics that is quickly and easily accessible.

When cloud storage first evolved, it was a huge step forward in terms of providing that fast, flexible, and scalable storage for developers. However, increasingly egregious bandwidth pricing has made cloud storage an expensive headache for some developers, resulting in vendor lock-in.

Cloudflare took the first step to address egregious egress charges in 2018 by creating the Bandwidth Alliance, a group of forward-thinking cloud and networking companies that are committed to discounting or waiving data transfer fees for shared customers.

Cloudflare R2 Storage will push this commitment even further, adding automatic migration of data from S3-compatible services and providing developers a highly performant, object store — minus the egress fees.

Cloudflare’s R2 Storage will allow developers to slash their cloud provider egress and storage bills; take advantage of the performance of object storage built with Cloudflare’s edge network; and, migrate data automatically from other providers to Cloudflare, among others.
