Global CDN, WAF, and DDOS protection for optimal performance." image: type: "page" url: "/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/edge/acquia-edge-powered-cloudflare" id: "9455c107-ab9d-4098-b0c6-f6b2b81607a1" --- Acquia Edge powered by Cloudflare is a partnership with Cloudflare behind our Acquia Edge solution to provide the following services: * **Edge CDN**: Provides a highly customizable, globally load balanced content delivery network (CDN) so that visitors can interact with your application at the fastest possible speeds, irrespective of their location. Edge CDN accelerates application delivery and mobile experiences, and also ensures availability by avoiding bottlenecks and overloaded servers. * **Acquia Edge Web Application Firewall (WAF)**: Edge WAF is a service that provides a web application firewall and distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) protection to help mitigate the effects of online threats, and optimize legitimate visitor requests for protected websites. Edge WAF includes Edge CDN. Note Acquia recommends that you do not use multiple WAFs or CDNs in front of a site while redirecting requests between those WAFs or CDNs. You can leverage Fastly-powered Platform CDN or any other WAF or CDN, including Edge Security or Edge CDN. However, Acquia does not support the use of multiple different WAFs, CDNs, or both in a layered approach.
