[AusNOG] Azure ExpressRoute

[Ibrahim Kunduraci]

Thank you all for the responses, much appreciated.

I should mention, the customer already owns an Express Route tail (albeit not yet live) however aren't able to carry office 365 over this. I hear the Office 365 component could be delayed longer than Q3 and given Microsoft are dropping private BGP peering after December this year, this will only further delay the service.

I guess the end goal is to speed up global access to office 365 as the current experience is a little disappointing. Riverbed and iWAN were talked about however unsure of what people are seeing out in the field and how people are best achieving this.

Would love some feedback if possible.

Thanks all

Yeah.  People will be able to get to ExpressRoute from almost 30 DC's in .au and .nz including M1 very soon via Megaport.  I think we are already taking orders for provisioning at present.  I would normally check, but have limited access to the net at 34,000ft and 925kmph :)

Hi all,

Does anybody know when Next DC will be supporting Office 365 over Express route? I know it'll become available in Q3 2015, just need to know what the road map looks like for Next DC, particularly M1.

Thanks guys
