Deutsche Telekom and Cloudflare have partnered to help European businesses improve the security of their digital infrastructure.
Under the partnership, the telecom giant will add Cloudflare’s security and connectivity services to its enterprise offering.
The two companies will also connect their networks directly, giving businesses access to Cloudflare’s global cloud platform alongside Deutsche Telekom’s European network and services.
The deal will also help Cloudflare expand its presence across Europe, while Deutsche Telekom’s business arm, T-Systems, will add Cloudflare’s technology to its range of enterprise services.
Cloudflare Chief Strategy Officer Stephanie Cohen said: “Today we are aligning two platforms that are deeply important to how businesses operate and grow in Europe.
“By combining Cloudflare’s global connectivity and security platform with Deutsche Telekom’s infrastructure expertise and customer reach, we are helping organisations secure their networks, strengthen their resilience, and accelerate transformations at a global scale. Through this partnership, we’re supplying businesses with a highly innovative foundation for the next generation of the Internet.”
Kerstin Baumgart, Director Wholesale and Member of the Board of Management of Telekom Deutschland, added: “With Cloudflare, we are engaging into a strategic partnership that lays the foundation for reliable and high-performance networks across Europe. What unites us is a clear ambition: to help our customers across Europe advance their digital infrastructure and manage their services with a very high degree of security and resilience.
“By connecting Cloudflare’s platform directly with our networks and combining our respective technological capabilities, our customers will benefit from the synergies of two highly complementary infrastructures.”
Deutsche Telekom will train and certify its staff on Cloudflare’s platform, allowing customers to get support ranging from implementation and consulting to managed security services.
