Private Connections to Azure

With ExpressRoute you can enhance the security of your vital data through three-level connectivity. This establishes connections with Azure in an ExpressRoute location or directly from the WAN network, thereby, optimizing your network and protecting it from virtual threats.

More reliability and speed

  • The use of ExpressRoute connections will mean having complete reliability in the security of your information and lower latency than the usual connections over the Internet, thus being able to transfer data between local systems more quickly and efficiently.

The Bandwidth of up to 100 Gbps

  • The connection to Azure offered by ExpressRoute also implies having bandwidths of up to 100 Gbps, which facilitates the transfer of large volumes of data, replication for business continuity, and recovery from possible disasters.

Integration with the global Microsoft network

  • By making use of ExpressRoute connections, you will have access to Microsoft Cloud services, both Microsoft Azure and the Microsoft Office 365 digital ecosystem. This way you will be enabling bi-directional connectivity between the WAN and the entire Microsoft environment, optimizing all your networks in the process.
  • There is no doubt that by implementing Azure ExpressRoute in your business, you can increase the security of all your connections, protecting them against any threat and generating greater reliability. The circuits and pairings that it provides to your data center, will allow you to enjoy the scaling of your bandwidth and connectivity to the Cloud without compromising the performance of your network and the security of your information.

Types of Pairing (Peering)

  • We do not want to end this article without pointing out an important concept within Azure ExpressRoute, the type of pairing. There are two types of pairings in Azure; private pairing and the pairing of Microsoft.

Private pairing

  • This type of pairing is designed to connect an IAAS service, basically virtual machines and PAAS that are implemented in a virtual network. It is a reliable extension of the main Azure network. Two-way connectivity can be configured between the main network and Azure virtual networks (VNet). This enables virtual machines and cloud services to be connected directly to private IP addresses.

Microsoft pairing

  • It was designed to connect directly with the Office 365 data centers and with Azure PAAS services that are not implemented in a virtual network. Microsoft requires the client, or the provider of the connection, fixed public IP addresses to establish the connection. However, the Microsoft pairing assignment for Office 365 should be revised as it is granted only if necessary to comply with any legal regulation that says a direct connection is needed.
  • In conclusion, Azure ExpressRoute gives more speed to the cloud connection, ensures the integrity of the information and allows predictable speeds and circuits.
