-Opting for the [best possible experience](https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/azure-tops-aws-gcp-in-cloud-performance-says-thousandeyes/2018/11/) is easy when you use Microsoft cloud. From the moment when customer traffic enters our global network through our strategically placed edge-nodes, your data travels through optimized routes at near the speed of light. This ensures optimal latency for best performance. These edge-nodes, all interconnected to more than 3500 unique Internet partners (peers) through thousands of connections in more than 145 locations, provide the foundation of our interconnection strategy.

 Whether connecting from London to Tokyo, or from Washington DC to Los Angeles, network performance is quantified and impacted by things such as latency, jitter, packet loss, and throughput.  At Microsoft, we prefer and use direct interconnects as opposed to transit-links, this keeps response traffic symmetric and helps keep hops, peering parties and paths as short and simple as possible.
