FIRSTNET MICROSOFT EXPRESSROUTE SOLUTIONS
Through our Virtual Cross Connect Service, FirstNet offers direct private connections to the Microsoft South African Azure Datacentres.
Microsoft ExpressRoute enables organisations consuming services from Microsoft Azure with a private connection between the Azure Datacentres and their own infrastructure. In addition customers utilizing hosted services such as FirstNet’s private cloud or co-location can now extend their network using ExpressRoute to securely connect to Microsoft Azure. The ExpressRoute connection assures organisations of greater reliability, faster speeds, lower latencies and higher security than standard connections through the public internet.
ExpressRoute utilizes dedicated infrastructure to connect an organisation to Microsoft Azure without the need for internet bandwidth and IPSEC VPN tunnels.
