Story
Westlake grew campus and branch networking faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, materials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Network engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Cloudflare R2 put network operations on Cloudflare. Cloudflare operates a global network for performance, security, and serverless compute in front of websites and enterprise applications. Westlake keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so network engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier network operations. Campus and branch networking is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join network engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
