Private cloud connectivity provides businesses with predictable
and often better performance, security and availability compared to
connecting over the open internet, and is backed by a service level
agreement (SLA). Joining the Microsoft ExpressRoute partner
program, Comcast Business is making the Azure ExpressRoute service
available to its more than one million Ethernet-enabled buildings
nationwide.
“As businesses increasingly rely on cloud services to virtualize
more of their IT applications, they require connectivity with
measurable performance, reliability and security,” said Rosemary
Cochran, principal at Vertical Systems Group. “The addition of
Comcast Business to the Microsoft ExpressRoute partner network
offers companies the cloud connectivity they need, backed by the
reach and flexibility of Comcast’s expansive Ethernet service
footprint.”
More than 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies use the Microsoft
cloud, and more than 120,000 new businesses are joining Azure every
month. In addition, Microsoft indicates that one in four of its
enterprise customers are using Office 365.
“A key part of our cloud and data center initiative is giving
businesses private, secure access to cloud providers for increased
options and flexibility as they build out and customize their
hybrid architectures. Working with a market leader in cloud
services like Microsoft is a great benefit for our customers,” said
Jeff Lewis, vice president of data services at Comcast Business.
“And as CIOs and IT leaders look to expand their use of Microsoft
Azure for more line of business applications where performance and
security are critical, we can give them a new Ethernet network
option that turns their WAN into a LAN, connecting their dispersed
office locations, data centers and cloud services.”
Comcast Business’ network connects to over 500 data centers as
well as cloud exchanges for dynamic access to multiple cloud
providers.
