When Cloudflare Goes Down, Your Surveillance Service Shouldn’t

Discover how Cloudflare’s 2025 global outage exposed critical gaps in cloud video surveillance. Learn what went wrong, why it matters, and how to safeguard your security systems before the next disruption hits.

Why On-Premise Is the Future of Secure Cloud Video Surveillance

A Cloudflare system failure (Cloudflare’s Global Outage 2025) on November 18, 2025 triggered a chain reaction that disabled multiple digital content-services worldwide including ChatGPT, Spotify, X and additional platforms. The brief service interruption from entertainment and communication apps creates only minor problems but it produces major consequences for essential video surveillance systems.

Security systems need to operate continuously throughout all 24 hours of each day. The system must operate without interruption because it cannot experience blackouts or require users to try again at a later time while maintaining access to all sensitive video data. The Cloudflare incident demonstrated that numerous surveillance platforms depend on worldwide cloud infrastructure which experienced a complete system failure.

And that raises a pressing question for telecom operators and service providers: Is your surveillance platform safe from the next global cloud disruption?

The Hidden Risk: Dependency on Global Cloud Giants on the Example of Cloudflare’s Global Outage 2025

Cloudflare’s global outage 2025 revealed that all cloud infrastructure systems including the most reliable ones will experience system failures. All services which use public cloud platforms become unavailable during downtime periods which affects video surveillance systems that require constant operation.

The operational dependence on public cloud platforms creates two major risks for operators. It damages their reputation and makes their video data accessible to unauthorized parties across multiple ecosystems. Organizations that use global cloud providers must understand that their systems will experience occasional failures.

Relying on global cloud giants means accepting that:

  • Outages (like Cloudflare’s Global Outage 2025) can happen without warning
  • Your uptime depends on third-party infrastructure
  • Sensitive video information travels through global networks
  • Client satisfaction is vulnerable to forces outside your control

For essential security systems, that’s simply unacceptable.

The Answer: Aipix On-Prem Deployment for Telecom Operators

The Aipix Software provider built its platform based on a core principle which states video surveillance needs to operate independently from global cloud system.

Aipix allows telecom operators to deploy their system completely within their own private infrastructure. Aipix VSaaS on-prem deployment provides operators with essential benefits:

  • Operate independently from worldwide network failures – from its own local environment.
  • Run without interruption when Cloudflare or AWS or any other worldwide provider experiences a failure.
  • Allow complete digital control of the telecom organization. All video data stays inside your organization’s private infrastructure which provides both security and local control through a trusted regional service provider.
  • Provide subscribers with stable service quality.

The system operates independently from international networks which prevents unexpected service interruptions that affect user experience.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

Telecom operators now function as essential digital service providers to their customers. The network security solutions that subscribers depend on require operators to maintain continuous service delivery. A surveillance platform which wants to remain future-proof must avoid depending on public cloud providers.

Aipix provides the solution that meets all those needs. The recent Cloudflare’s Global Outage 2025 incident demonstrated that worldwide cloud system breakdowns can disable all global operations yet your surveillance platform must stay operational at all times and provide subscribers along with complete system availability.
