next layer Cloud Connect ExpressRoute
Cloud-based services such as Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Azure require reliable, secure, and high-performance connections. As a certified Microsoft ExpressRoute partner, next layer offers customized solutions for a direct, highly available, and secure connection to the Microsoft Cloud directly to the Austria East region (ExpressRoute locations Vienna and Vienna2) and also Germany West Central (ExpressRoute locations Frankfurt and Frankfurt2).
In addition, we offer ExpressRoute Metro for particularly high resilience. This involves two connections to separate ExpressRoute peering locations within the same metropolitan area. By leveraging the redundancy of both peering sites, higher availability and resilience can be achieved for the connectivity between your on-premises infrastructure and Azure resources.
Whether from your data center, your office, or in a hybrid setup, the redundant data connections guarantee reliable high bandwidths, minimal latency, and maximum reliability. Complete separation from the public internet guarantees a particularly high standard and availability. The next layer infrastructure supports a wide range of application scenarios from access to colocation to private, hybrid, multi, and public cloud architectures.
The possibilities are endless – we support you in planning, implementing, and operating your connection to the cloud.
