Microsoft and DE-CIX Launch Global Cloud Connectivity Solution

Microsoft and DE-CIX have launched AI-ready cloud connectivity in multiple cities across three continents. The new solution, called Azure ExpressRoute Metro, provides high availability for sensitive AI workloads and critical resources in Microsoft Azure.

The highly resilient architecture is available at DE-CIX's carrier and data-center neutral Cloud and AI Exchanges in New York, Frankfurt, Madrid, Amsterdam, and Singapore, with more locations to follow. This adds 29 on-ramps to Azure in 24 cities worldwide, with remote access available from all exchange locations using DE-CIX's global backbone.

Azure ExpressRoute Metro enables private, dedicated connectivity between enterprise infrastructure and Azure, helping organizations build more resilient and stable cloud environments. DE-CIX's distributed Cloud and AI Exchanges enable secure cloud connectivity and cloud to cloud routing for seamless and resilient management of critical cloud-related dataflows.
