The Viasat Direct Cloud Connect service is expected to launch in the second half of calendar year 2019, and will first offer cloud connection services to <strong>Microsoft<\/strong> Azure via Azure ExpressRoute.<\/p>\n<p>As a new Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute partner, Viasat aims to offer a dedicated network connection to Azure. Azure ExpressRoute creates a high-speed, low-latency, private link between a customer\u2019s on-premises infrastructure or colocation facility and&nbsp;Azure cloud regions. This direct connection ensures Viasat\u2019s business customers can take advantage of Azure\u2019s integrated cloud services including: computing, database, analytics, networking, storage, and more. The private connection also ensures remote facilities remain central to a business\u2019s cloud networking plans by ensuring these locations also have consistent access to a dedicated connection to Microsoft Azure cloud services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Viasat Direct Cloud Connect service will enable our business customers to optimize their network infrastructure and cloud investments,\u201d said&nbsp;Cody Catalena, vice president and general manager, Global Business Solutions at&nbsp;Viasat. \u201cWe expect that by partnering&nbsp;with Microsoft to enable our customers to connect directly to Microsoft Azure through Viasat\u2019s Direct Cloud Connect&nbsp;service, they will gain significant benefits\u2014from maintaining the network performance of their satellite-based business service to extending their data center capabilities with a scalable cloud-based infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viasat corporate headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif.
