NextDC takes customers on ExpressRoute to Microsoft Azure
ExpressRoute will connect NextDC customers directly to Azure through a private, high speed, low latency fibre connection rather than a general internet-based connection.
Connecting to ExpressRoute at NextDC and with the support of its partner carrier ecosystem, companies are able to bridge their cloud and data centre strategies nationally, allowing full integration between Cloud services and internal applications, along with flexible bandwidth through automated network provisioning.
"Microsoft's commitment to the Australian market addresses many concerns of Australian businesses on data sovereignty by ensuring their Cloud platform is hosted locally and accessed through a private, secure connection," NextDC CEO, Craig Scroggie, said.
