CoreSite adds Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute to its Chicago data center campus

CoreSite Realty Corporation, a provider of interconnection services with a U.S.-based data center, cloud access, and a wider U.S. presence, has launched a direct fiber and virtual connection to the Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute on its Chicago-based campus. It will provide direct access to the express route for CoreSite customers and Microsoft Connection Partners and provide direct connectivity to Microsoft's global network.

Direct and personal connections with cloud providers like Microsoft can be attractive for enterprises who want to establish their hybrid and multi-cloud IT architecture.

With this Azure ExpressRoute on-net access, corporate clients and Microsoft Connect partners can connect directly to Microsoft's global network.

This solution is designed to provide high-speed performance, improved security and economically cost-effective data through its smart data usage system. For access to the Azure North Central America region, it will use the Azure ExpressRoute local to prevent data transit costs. The solution will also accelerate the deployment of workloads on a hybrid cloud system.
