Editor's Notes
- #10 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt450488.aspx Although ExpressRoute is being used by Microsoft IT, ExpressRoute is not required or recommended for Office 365 customers except in a small number of situations. These situations include a) regulatory requirements that would mandate a direct network connection or b) following a required customer network assessment for Skype for Business voice and video when network deficiencies are discovered that ExpressRoute can address. In the situations where ExpressRoute for Office 365 is implemented, Microsoft should be directly involved to ensure a successful implementation.

- #20 Kelly services, a long time customer of Zscaler, was looking to deploy Office 365. As they went into pilot mode, their users were complaining and realized that Office 365 creates a high number of long-lived connections that increases network utilization and can overwhelm firewalls. And traffic and congestion was increasing on the MPLS network — which was driving MPLS costs higher. They evaluated deploying NGFWs at all the branches to route traffic locally, but it was too expensive. They decided to leverage the Zscaler Cloud Firewall and bandwidth control to route traffic locally and ensure Office 365 traffic was prioritized over YouTube during periods of congestion. To date, we’ve helped over 700 customers successfully deploy Office 365, and we’re processing 17B requests monthly and about 1.2PB of traffic.
