Ucom initiates cloudflare data center deployment in yerevan

YEREVAN, March 28. /ARKA/. Cloudflare, a US-based web performance and security company, said several days ago it will deploy in the coming days a series of new data centers across five continents with the first one being in Yerevan, the capital and largest city of Armenia, with the support from Ucom telecom operator. It will be the 37th data center in Asia, and 103rd data center globally.

The newest Cloudflare deployment will make 6 million internet properties faster and more secure, as they serve traffic to Armenia. 

In particular, in Armenia latency (ms) decreased 6 times for Ucom internet users thanks to the new Cloudflare data center. Some 768 Armenian websites based in “.am” domain are already attached to this system, Ucom said in a press release today. 

Speaking about this important acquisition for Armenia and, possibly, for its adjacent countries, Ucom CEO Hayk Yesayan said: “Armenia is the second state among post-Soviet states that could reach success after long-lasting negotiations, by finally deploying this data center. So far in the post-Soviet space such kind of data center has been deployed only in Moscow.”

Emphasizing high level of technical saturation and staff preparedness at Ucom, IT auditor Ruben Muradyan noted: “Ucom was chosen by Cloudflare due to being the largest regional channels operator, which is why this cooperation was made possible.”-0-
