wireless and IP data networking into the cloud service provider
community to create a security-enhanced, high-performance

connections.

built with redundant links to further increase the reliability of
the solution.
Azure ExpressRoute for Office 365 and Skype for Business with
SCI are now available in Microsoft's Verizon's Northern Virginia, San Jose, London and Hong

Virginia with an additional site in Chicago planned to come online this
fall.
