Microsoft Azure Peering Service

When you run vital business applications in the cloud, direct access to your cloud provider’s infrastructure is vital. Without it, you run the risk of high latency, and limited control of how your data moves between your business and your cloud service provider.

Our Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS) provides LINX members with a direct connection to any public Microsoft cloud service, including Microsoft Azure services, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or any other Microsoft service accessible via the public internet.

By routing direct through LINX’s infrastructure, you get a low latency connection, reliable uptime, and advanced security that simply isn’t possible when using public internet connections.

Microsoft Azure Peering Service is accessible to any network connected to the LINX LON1, LINX Manchester, LINX NoVA and now LINX Nairobi interconnection platforms, with access to 24/7 NOC support as standard.
