+# Using Azure ExpressRoute to create hybrid connectivity to support remote users
+
+## Connecting to Azure services with ExpressRoute
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>This article describes how you can leverage ExpressRoute, Azure, Microsoft network, and the Azure partner ecosystem to work remotely and  mitigate network issues that you are facing because of Covid-19 crisis.
+>
+
+[ExpressRoute](expressroute-introduction.md) is an Azure service that enables private connectivity between Microsoft datacenters and infrastructure that's on your premises or in a colocation facility. ExpressRoute connections do not go over the public Internet. They offer secure connectivity, reliability, and speeds, with lower and consistent latencies than typical connections over the Internet.
