ExpressRoute connectivity partners and peering locations

[!div class="op_single_selector"]

The tables in this article provide information on ExpressRoute geographical coverage and locations, ExpressRoute connectivity providers, and ExpressRoute System Integrators (SIs).

Note

Azure regions and ExpressRoute locations are two distinct and different concepts, understanding the difference between the two is critical to exploring Azure hybrid networking connectivity.

Azure regions

Azure regions are global datacenters where Azure compute, networking, and storage resources are hosted. When creating an Azure resource, you need to select the resource location, which determines the specific Azure datacenter (or availability zone) where the resource is deployed.

ExpressRoute locations

ExpressRoute locations, also known as peering locations or meet-me locations, are co-location facilities where Microsoft Enterprise Edge (MSEE) devices are situated. These locations serve as the entry points to Microsoft's network and are globally distributed, offering the ability to connect to Microsoft's network worldwide. ExpressRoute partners and ExpressRoute Direct user establish cross connections to Microsoft's network at these locations. Generally, the ExpressRoute location doesn't need to correspond with the Azure region. For instance, you can create an ExpressRoute circuit with the resource location in East US for the Seattle peering location.

You have access to Azure services across all regions within a geopolitical region if you're connecting to at least one ExpressRoute location within the geopolitical region.

Connectivity through Exchange providers

If your connectivity provider isn't listed in previous sections, you can still create a connection.

  • Check with your connectivity provider to see if they're connected to any of the exchanges in the table above. You can check the following links to gather more information about services offered by exchange providers. Several connectivity providers are already connected to Ethernet exchanges.

  • Have your connectivity provider extend your network to the peering location of choice.

    • Ensure that your connectivity provider extends your connectivity in a highly available manner so that there are no single points of failure.
  • Order an ExpressRoute circuit with the exchange as your connectivity provider to connect to Microsoft.

Connectivity through satellite operators

If you're remote and don't have fiber connectivity, or you want to explore other connectivity options you can check the following satellite operators.
