New offer for customers who use ExpressRoute for Office 365 traffic

Azure ExpressRoute Premium tier has three distinct advantages over the non-Premium version of the service: global connectivity, a larger number of virtual networks, and a larger number of routes (private and public peering).Starting April 1, 2016, customers will be able to provision the Premium service by licensing a single plan instead of two (for example, non-Premium and Premium add-on). The Premium tier will be required for customers who use ExpressRoute to access Office 365 (Microsoft peering enabled). Customers with fewer than 500 seats who use ExpressRoute to access Office 365 can still purchase ExpressRoute Premium, based on the revised (lower) prices, effective April 1, 2016. On May 1, 2016, we’ll simplify the licensing experience for this offer, allowing customers to sign up for a single plan.The revised pricing and new offers will be available through all existing channels.
