Microsoft Azure Peering Service

Optimized connectivity to Microsoft Cloud Services

The Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS) offers highly reliable, optimized Internet connectivity to Microsoft Cloud Services such as Microsoft 365 (M365), and is specifically designed for mid-sized and large enterprises who are looking for high performance, low latency, security, and cost-effectiveness.

Benefits include:

• Guaranteed high-performance connectivity with the lowest possible latency
• A guaranteed DDoS-free connection even for the smallest bandwidths
• Binding end-to-end SLAs, supported directly by Microsoft
• Carrier-grade interconnection service

Latency optimization and traffic monitoring
With MAPS, Microsoft customers get a qualified validation of the prefix and feedback on whether the correct edge location from Microsoft has been assigned.  

Multi-level redundancy and telemetry options
The DE-CIX-MAPS infrastructure setup is locally redundant and supports failover across multiple locations (geo-redundancy). This guarantees a high-performance connectivity with the lowest possible latency. In addition, you can take advantage of Internet latency telemetry and route monitoring, getting alerts for hijacks, leaks, and any other Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) misconfigurations.

No minimum bandwidth required
No minimum bandwidth is required to benefit from the Microsoft Azure Peering Service.

NYI partnership with DE-CIX
NYI offers direct access to MAPS through our partnership with DE-CIX at 60 Hudson Street, New York City. The service improves the user experience by offering the shortest network path from your premises to the nearest edge PoP in the Microsoft network.
