Whether your business needs to move high volumes of data quickly or uses resource-intensive applications in Azure, ExpressRoute is the solution for you. By avoiding the public internet, ExpressRoute provides a private, secure connection backed by Microsoft SLA.

Large organisations in Africa use ExpressRoute connections for the security and cost management benefits inherent in separating business-critical data and application traffic from business-as-usual internet traffic.
