Cloudflare, Inc. and JD Cloud announced plans for a significant expansion of their partnership, aimed at creating a global platform that empowers developers to deploy, manage, and scale AI inference workloads seamlessly. The growth of AI-driven applications over the past three years has resulted in unprecedented demand for geographically distributed inference capabilities. This broader partnership will enable Cloudflare and JD Cloud to deliver a cohesive networking experience, projected to reduce latency for AI inference workloads by up to 80%, establishing a truly global, high-performance AI Cloud that seamlessly connects global developers to the China market and Chinese developers to the rest of the world.
This latest expansion builds upon the successful foundation that the companies have created together over the past five years. The integration of Cloudflare's intelligent global platform with JD Cloud's robust infrastructure already delivers a unified experience, allowing customers to activate their presence in China with just a few clicks--without changing a single line of code. Once enabled, traffic from users in China is automatically routed to local data centers, operated by JD Cloud, while all other traffic is served from the nearest Cloudflare location worldwide.
This seamless setup ensures a secure, fast, and reliable experience reducing latency and strengthening performance with Cloudflare's comprehensive suite of security services, including its cloud-based Web Application Firewall (WAF), advanced Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) mitigation, and global Content Delivery Network (CDN).
