Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute available in Equinix London Data Centre

Equinix, Inc. says that Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute is now available in London. Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute is now available in London, Washington DC and Silicon Valley Equinix International Business exchange (IBX) data centres and will be rolled out to 13 additional markets across Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America by the end of 2014.

Equinix customers can now connect to Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute via cross-connects or direct access to the Equinix Cloud Exchange at the London data centre (LD5) and benefit from a secure, private, virtual connection from Equinix to the Windows Azure cloud platform of services.


The London ExpressRoute connection enables enterprise customers to use dedicated, high-speed links to shift information and applications between Windows Azure and the IT infrastructure they’ve located at Equinix, helping to reduce network costs and latency and provide more consistent network performance than Internet-based connections.


Microsoft Azure customers will have entry to Equinix’s rich ecosystems, which host 1,200 cloud and IT service providers, as well as 975 networks. That gives enterprises the broadest selection of cloud services so they can create the hybrid architecture that best meets their needs.
