Cloudflare, Inc, the leading connectivity cloud company, has announced that its connectivity cloud platform will be available natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for customers worldwide. This integration enables joint customers to leverage Cloudflare's security, performance, and resiliency directly from OCI across hybrid, multicloud, and OCI-hosted applications, simplifying management in increasingly complex environments driven by AI adoption.
A recent Forrester Research report indicates that 73% of enterprise networking infrastructure and telecommunications decision-makers are adopting multicloud networking. These setups allow organizations to combine optimal features from various cloud providers, but they demand resource-intensive manual configurations for management and security. The rapid integration of AI applications further complicates cloud environments, heightening the need for comprehensive visibility, control, and protection over all applications to handle evolving threats.
Cloudflare operates one of the world's largest interconnected networks, providing global Internet security, speed, and reliability to startups, enterprises, and governments. The OCI integration delivers a unified solution for securing applications, fostering innovation across clouds, and optimizing end-user performance. Customers gain accelerated public-facing applications and AI inference with reduced worldwide latency, alongside strengthened AI security through DDoS protection, Web Application Firewall (WAF), bot mitigation, and Zero Trust controls.
The partnership also facilitates hybrid and multicloud architectures by securely connecting and orchestrating traffic with unified control, protects APIs via rate limiting, threat intelligence, and data protection, and addresses compliance needs with Cloudflare's globally distributed, security-first platform.
“We all see how AI is transforming the way organizations and their employees operate, and we need to pay equal attention to how AI is expanding our threat landscapes,” said Tom Evans, Chief Partner Officer at Cloudflare. “Organizations need a comprehensive platform that delivers flexibility, performance, and security. Our integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will help ensure businesses everywhere, across any cloud environment, can run their workloads on a unified platform with security and speed at the forefront.”
“At Oracle, we are committed to helping our customers run their most critical workloads securely, reliably, and at scale,” said David Hicks, Group Vice President, ISV Ecosystem, Oracle North America. “Through our partnership with Cloudflare, we will enable organizations to protect cloud and AI workloads while enhancing resilience and performance across hybrid and multicloud environments. Together, we will give businesses the confidence to innovate and grow, knowing their applications and data are protected every step of the way.”
Cloudflare and Oracle will present the integration details at Cloudflare Connect 2025 in Las Vegas on October 14.
