Datacentre operator Equinix announces the Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute private connectivity service is now available for customers in the Paris market at the same speeds offered in 20 other markets globally.
Azure ExpressRoute provides a private dedicate link between on-premises IT systems and the Microsoft cloud, bypassing the public internet to enable secure and reliable data transfers. As Equinix puts it, direct access to a cloud onramp via edge note ensures performance, reliability and optimal cost efficiency.
Currently Equinix provides private connections to Azure in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Dublin, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Miami, New York, Osaka, Paris, São Paulo, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto and Washington DC.
"In today's global digital economy, interconnecting with digital services and customers at the edge—in multiple and often distant locations—is critical," Equinix says. "By expanding our collaboration with Microsoft to bring Azure ExpressRoute to Equinix IBX data centers in more than 20 metros globally, we're increasing the value of Platform Equinix as the location where cloud connectivity happens."
Customers in other markets can also remotely access Azure ExpressRoute via Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric (ECX Fabric), an on-demand platform enabling Equinix customers to discover and connect to other customers across any Equinix location globally through a portal and a single connection to the Equinix platform.
