\nToday Cloudflare is also releasing sustainable edge computing services and energy efficient features to help organizations of any size build sustainability directly into their own applications, websites, and networks. Now businesses can choose to intelligently route traffic through data centers powered by renewable energy using Green Compute on Cloudflare Workers<\/a>. Customers can also understand and quantify their individual footprints and approximate savings from Cloudflare\u2019s network in comparison to Internet averages with the Carbon Impact Report. Furthermore, organizations that deploy websites on Cloudflare Pages<\/a> will automatically operate on renewable energy and receive a green certification from The Green Web Foundation displayed through a verified badge.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cInternet usage has skyrocketed in the last couple of years, growing over 80 percent on our network, and is showing no signs of slowing down. For every search you do, online order you make, and video call you join, there is an environmental impact from the physical data centers, servers, and other physical infrastructure the Internet relies on,\u201d said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. \u201cWe want to give the Internet a clean slate to help build toward a future where it\u2019s easy for anyone to create, build, and run their applications on green energy while remaining secure, fast, and reliable.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nAs Internet usage continues to rise, so does the energy that\u2019s required to deliver online services. The electricity used to power the Internet\u2019s infrastructure helps move content that sits in faraway servers, passes it through networks, and allows for it to land on a user\u2019s device. While turning to cloud platforms to deliver a service or document is more environmentally efficient than paper printouts for example, each Internet-powered property has a climate impact that can be mitigated. Organizations need the insights, tools, and control to lower their supply chain carbon emissions without sacrificing the security, speed, or reliability of their applications and corporate networks.\n<\/p>\n \nCloudflare is providing environmentally efficient solutions, giving organizations a seamless way to:\n<\/p>\n \nEfficiency has been at the core of Cloudflare\u2019s network from its founding. In contrast to legacy models that transport certain activity to specific data centers halfway across the world, each Cloudflare data center delivers full functions of security, performance, and reliability to intelligently serve users based on location. The coupling of comprehensive services and Cloudflare’s network edge\u2014spanning more than 200 cities operating within milliseconds of the Internet-connected population\u2014simultaneously reduces energy to transport while providing optimal speed and security. Cloudflare continues to iterate on the optimal efficiency of its network, and has achieved more than 50 percent improvement in requests per watt by deploying Arm\u00aeNeoverse\u2122-based processors in its edge servers. Today, the company is furthering its efficiencies with renewable energy-powered edge computing and services for its customers to build and scale sustainability.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe industry is facing a massive opportunity to accommodate the increasing demand on cloud computing in a sustainable way,\u201d said Chris Bergey, senior vice president and general manager, Infrastructure Line of Business, Arm. \u201cEnergy efficiency is part of Arm\u2019s DNA, and we are pleased to see Cloudflare leverage the performance-per-watt benefits of Neoverse as they continue to build on and prioritize the overall efficiencies of its vast global network.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n“Cloudflare’s recent climate disclosures and commitments are encouraging, especially given how much traffic flows through their network. Every provider should be at least this transparent when it comes to accounting for the environmental impact of their services”, said Chris Adams, Co-director of The Green Web Foundation. “We see a growing number of users relying on CDNs to host their sites, and they are often confused when their sites no longer show as green, because they\u2019re not using a green CDN. It\u2019s good to see another more sustainable option available to users, and one that is independently verified.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nTo learn more about Cloudflare\u2019s environmental sustainability efforts, please check out the resources below:\n<\/p>\n About Cloudflare <\/b><\/p>\n \nCloudflare, Inc.
