Cloudflare’s supercloud: This is what multicloud should have been

theCUBE Breaking Analysis + upcoming broadcasts [Cloudflare’s supercloud: This is what multicloud should have been]( Cloudflare Inc. has gone from being a peripheral curiosity to the subject of [this week’s Breaking Analysis](. The company has the potential to be a game-changer for the multicloud market in light of its disruptions, innovations and business potential, according to industry analyst Dave Vellante.  Over the past decade, Cloudflare has built a global network that has the potential to become the fourth U.S.-based hyperscale-class cloud. Think of it as a giant, distributed supercomputer that can connect multiple clouds and act as a highly efficient scheduling engine – allocating and optimizing resources at large scale.  A super supercloud It’s no surprise, according to Vellante, that Cloudflare’s growing client base includes startups and established enterprises alike seeking a secure, high-performance, low-latency and more cost-effective alternative to Amazon Web Services Inc. or legacy infrastructure solutions. Cloudflare is essentially creating a new internet – in doing so, it is laying a foundation for its technological and business success that multicloud vendors had never even considered establishing, Vellante explained. Its founding premise reimagined how the internet should be built — with a consistent set of servers, placed around the world, where each server had lots of cores, lots of DRAM memory, lots of cache, fast solid-state drives, and plenty of network connectivity and bandwidth.  Read this week's [Breaking Analysis]( as we discuss the modern enterprise stack according to Cloudflare, why Cloudflare still isn’t for everyone, and its strategic business options. And catch up with the entire Breaking Analysis column on [SiliconANGLE]( and [Wikibon](.

As the economy worsens across all sectors, Lyft and Stripe are laying off hundreds of employees, and even industry titans such as Amazon and Apple recently announced a [pause in new hires](. While a global pandemic bolstered use cases and revenues for Big Tech, companies are now forced to readjust based on an increasingly uncertain market. Yet many industry leaders are hopeful, including Amazon human resources chief Beth Galetti. She envisions ending the pause after a few months and adjusting as economic conditions improve, according to reporting from SiliconANGLE's editor-in-chief Robert Hof.  A certain storm What could companies have done to weather this economic winter more solidly? In a memo to employees, payments processor Stripe’s Chief Executive Patrick Collison wrote: “We were much too optimistic about the internet economy’s near-term growth in 2022 and 2023 and underestimated both the likelihood and impact of a broader slowdown. … We grew operating costs too quickly. Buoyed by the success we’re seeing in some of our new product areas, we allowed coordination costs to grow and operational inefficiencies to seep in.”  [Learn more]( about which companies are implementing freezes and layoffs and what strategies they are using to hopefully make it through this winter storm.
