The full product description from Internet Solutions follows on below:

  • A flat monthly Virtual Cross Connect fee of R999.00 for 1Gbps of throughput from an IS data centre in metropolitan areas directly to Microsoft Express Route points of presence in Johannesburg and Cape town.
  • Intra- and -inter data centre connectivity between IS and Microsoft points of interconnect, as well as major Hyperscaler hubs.
  • Capability to optimise network segments and consolidate links.

We’re pleased to partner with Internet Solutions as they have displayed commitment to removing barriers to entry through providing commodity connectivity services for companies wanting to benefit from cloud services,” said managing director for Microsoft South Africa, Lillian Barnard.
