The Covid-19 (Corona virus) contagion has created unprecedented global crisis, resulting in lockdown of many cities and countries across the globe. This crisis has forced most people across a wide range of industries to work from home. Yet, there is an urgency to act; and the onus to act is on all of us. We all need to do the best we can to stop the contagion spreading, to help the first-responders battle the disease and cure those who have got infected, to maintain the productivity and availability of the necessities all over the world.

Azure is designed to withstand sudden changes in the utilization of the resources and can greatly help at the time of crisis like this. Also, Microsoft maintains and operate one of the worlds' largest network. Microsoft's network has been designed for high availability that can withstand different types of failure: from a single network element failure to failure of an entire region.

Microsoft network is designed to meet the requirements and provide optimal performance for different types of network traffic. Microsoft network is used to service from Teams delay sensitive multimedia traffic to CDN traffic; from real-time big data analysis traffic to Azure storage traffic; from Xbox traffic to Bing traffic. To provide optimal performance for different types of traffic, Microsoft network attracts all the traffic that are destined to- or wanting to transit through- its resources as close as possible to the traffic origination.

Azure scalable VPN gateway support both Point-to-Site (P2S) and Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connections. Using Azure VPN gateway you can scale your employees connections to securely access both your Azure deployed resources and your on-premises resources. See the article [How to enable users to work remotely][VPN] for further details.

If you are using SSTP, the number of concurrent connections would be limited to 128. To overcome this limitation we suggest transitioning to OpenVPN or IKEv2. See [Transition to OpenVPN protocol or IKEv2 from SSTP][OpenVPN].

For aggregating largescale VPN connection, to support any-to-any connections between resources in different on-prem global locations, in different regional hub and spoke virtual networks, and to optimize utilization of multiple home broadband networks you can use Azure Virtual WAN. See [Struggling to cater to work from home needs? Here is where Azure Virtual WAN can help][VWAN] for further details.
