Ideal Express Route Connectivity Provider for a UK Business

As a Microsoft Gold Partner and Tier 1 Cloud Solutions Provider, Blaze is well qualified to be your connectivity provider for ExpressRoute circuits.

With ExpressRoute, you can establish connections to Microsoft cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.

ExpressRoute lets you extend your private network into the Microsoft cloud over a private, direct peering connection.

ExpressRoute from Blaze helps you save money

Blaze offers the most appropriate and cost-effective solution to each customer’s network needs. Blaze can deliver highly cost-effective ExpressRoute other Direct Peering circuits, and managed Private Networks because we are a managed services provider (MSP) with our own Blaze Private Core Network. Additionally, Blaze Networks are a fully licenced Telecommunications Provider and LIR (Local Internet Registry).

• When you use an ExpressRoute circuit through Blaze, the connection from the Azure environment is made directly to the Blaze Private Core Network. Connections are then made to your Azure resources which are directly connected to the Blaze Private Core Network and your dedicated firewalls within. At no point is the public internet used to route traffic to your Azure tenancy allowing end to end control of your business critical traffic.
• With a Blaze private network, the business can take advantage of low cost centralised, communications, bandwidth, security, and hosting. This allows the business to considerably reduce the amount of bandwidth required, whilst offering better security, true application visibility and more resilience to the entire business estate.
• Blaze can privately connect to all major cloud providers offering a completely private low latency infrastructure covered by end to end SLAs.

Among the other advantages of using ExpressRoute services from Blaze are the following:
