CoreSite Realty Corporation, a premier provider of secure, reliable, high-performance data center and interconnection solutions across the U.S., today announced the availability of Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute through CoreSite's Boston data
center. Private connectivity to Microsoft Azure via ExpressRoute is now
available in four of CoreSite's markets, including through its Denver, Los Angeles and New York data center campuses.
CoreSite customers in Boston may now privately connect to Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and Dynamics 365 via the CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange,
which provides private, SLA-backed virtual connections and on-demand
provisioning. The integration of Azure ExpressRoute and the CoreSite
Open Cloud Exchange provides CoreSite customers with the opportunity to
establish a fast and reliable connection into Azure, Office 365 and
Dynamics 365 that bypasses the public Internet. With a dedicated,
high-performance Azure ExpressRoute connection, customers have a natural
extension of their datacenters and can build hybrid applications that
span on-premises infrastructure and Azure without compromising privacy
or performance.
CoreSite
customers in Boston, Denver, New York and Los Angeles can efficiently
transfer large data sets for high-performance computing, migrate virtual
machines between dev-test environments in Azure to production
environments housed in a CoreSite datacenter and optimize replication
for business continuity, disaster recovery, and other high-availability
strategies. Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute also enables Office 365 and
Dynamics 365 customers to streamline network connectivity for Exchange,
Skype for Business and SharePoint services.
"By
providing our customers with direct connectivity to Azure ExpressRoute
in our Boston market, we are enabling enterprises to more effectively
deploy and realize the benefits of hybrid and multi-cloud solutions,"
said Brian Warren, Senior Vice President of Engineering & Product at
CoreSite. "Through the CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange, we are able to
offer our customers flexible and reliable connections to the cloud,
while ensuring security, optimal performance and scalability."
CoreSite's
Boston data center (BO1) borders Cambridge and Boston's central
business district, serving the many healthcare, financial, technology
and educational enterprises located in the area, and currently provides
access to more than 80 network, cloud and IT service providers. This
strategically located colocation facility is tethered to regional
communication hubs and offers customers secure, reliable,
high-performance solutions for their mission-critical business
applications.
