An enterprise operates an internal line-of-business application within its on-premises datacenter and is migrating related database services to Microsoft Azure. To establish a hybrid cloud model, the enterprise requires a dedicated, private connection between its on-premises network and Azure resources that does not travel over the public internet.
Which Azure service should the enterprise implement?
Azure ExpressRoute is a networking service that allows organizations to create private, dedicated connections between their on-premises infrastructure or datacenters and Microsoft cloud services, including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
ExpressRoute fulfills the scenario's requirements by establishing a direct, high-bandwidth connection through a connectivity provider. Because traffic routed over Azure ExpressRoute does not travel across the public internet, it provides reliable, low-latency, and secure data exchange between the local private infrastructure and Azure public cloud resources to form an integrated hybrid cloud environment.
Compared to internet-based VPN solutions, Azure ExpressRoute delivers superior reliability, faster speeds, consistent latencies, and enterprise-grade security, making it the premier choice for interconnecting on-premises datacenters with Azure in a hybrid cloud model.
