Airtel, India’s largest network provider, in partnership with Microsoft has launched its new cloud service, Connexion. Connexion which is powered in part by Azure Express Route.
Airtel’s Connexion service will provide direct private connectivity to cloud, while Azure ExpressRoute creates a secure, scalable and seamless private connection between enterprises, cloud service providers, and data centre partners. The Azure ExpressRoute connection does not utilize public internet and offers more reliability, faster speeds, lower latencies and higher security than typical Internet connections.

Yousef Khalidi, the Distinguished Engineer for Networking at Microsoft Azure
Enterprises are increasingly leveraging the power of the cloud to empower their workforces and Microsoft is expanding its service for India and global customers. Our partnership with Airtel, the third largest global carrier, is a major step in this direction, and we hope to bring in an integrated and seamless experience for our mutual customers.
