Experience fast, reliable, private connections between your application and Azure utilizing ExpressRoute, available through our network infrastructure.

Make Your Connections Fast, Reliable, and Private

ExpressRoute connections don’t go over the public Internet, and they offer more reliability, faster speeds, and lower latencies than typical Internet connections.

Cloud On-ramp

Azure offers a host of solutions to monitor your networking assets.

Monitor network connectivity, the health of ExpressRoute circuits, and analyze network traffic in the cloud.

Monitor end-to-end connectivity and performance between your data center applications and Azure over ExpressRoute. Comprehensive monitoring for Azure private peering and Microsoft peering connections includes:
  • Auto-detection ExpressRoute circuits associated with your subscription
  • Detection of network topology from the colocation data center to your cloud applications
  • Capacity planning and bandwidth utilization analysis
  • Monitoring and alerts for both primary and secondary paths
  • Connectivity monitoring to services such as Office 365, Dynamics 365, Common Data Service, and other cloud applications over ExpressRoute
  • Detection of degradation of connectivity to VNets

ExpressRoute utilizes Layer 3 connectivity and dynamic routing between your network and Microsoft via BGP.

BGP is an industry standard dynamic routing protocol which is used to exchange routes between your network, your instances in Azure, and Microsoft public addresses. Multiple BGP sessions are established for different traffic profiles.

Connecting to the cloud safely and reliably is easy with Azure ExpressRoute. Our colocation data center infrastructure can provide your business with everything you need to access Azure while ensuring maximum uptime and availability for your IT application.
