Panama expands Cloudflare network to 50 countries

2016-12-30

2 min read

A man, a plan, a canal, a data center. Over 5 million Internet properties are now faster across Panama, as Cloudflare turned up its newest data center in Panama City. This is our 102nd data center globally, and brings us to a special milestone as our network now spans 50 countries. While perhaps not quite as big an announcement as the $5B Panama Canal expansion, the websites of many important newspapers, TV stations, banks and airlines can be accessed directly from Panama.

‘A man a plan a canal’ y un data center! A Partir de hoy más de 5 millones de sitios en internet serán mas rápidos desde Panamá, ya que hemos introducido nuestro más reciente centro de datos en Ciudad de Panamá. Es nuestro centro de datos número 102 a nivel mundial. Es una hito especial ya que la red global de Cloudflare alcanza 50 países a nivel mundial. Tal vez no es un anuncio tan grande como la inauguración de la expansión del canal, pero a partir de hoy muchos de los sitios importantes de diarios, Televisoras, bancos y aerolíneas serán servidos directamente desde Panamá.

Internet in Panama

El Internet en Panamá

Panama is home to the one of the fastest growing economies in Latin America, with twice as many mobile devices as people. Only about half of Panama’s population of 4 million citizens have access to the Internet, which leaves substantial opportunity for growth in the years to come.

Panamá es una de las economías de mayor crecimiento en Latinoamérica, con una penetración de móviles >200% per cápita. Sin embargo solo la mitad de los 4 millones de ciudadanos tienen acceso a Internet Banda Ancha. Esto deja una oportunidad de crecimiento sustancial en el futuro.
