In support of these efforts we are sharing the <strong>Azure Networking Managed Service Provider (MSP) program<\/strong> along with partners that deliver value added managed cloud network services to help enterprise customers connect, operationalize, and scale their mission critical applications running in Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Networking MSP Partner Program enables partners such as networking focused MSPs, network carriers, and systems integrators (SIs) to use their rich networking experience to offer cloud and hybrid networking services around Azure\u2019s growing portfolio of <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/product-categories\/networking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Networking products and services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure\u2019s Networking services are fundamental building blocks critical to cloud migration, optimal connectivity, and security of applications. New networking services such as <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/virtual-wan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual WAN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/expressroute\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ExpressRoute<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/azure-firewall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Firewall<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/frontdoor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Front Door<\/a> further enrich this portfolio allowing customers to deploy richer applications in the cloud. The Networking MSP partners can help customers deploy and manage Azure Networking services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-networking-msps\">Azure Networking MSPs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure MSPs play a critical role in enterprise cloud transformation by bringing their deep knowledge and real-world experience to help enterprise customers migrate to Azure. <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure MSPs<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/12\/inspire-2018-opening-doors-for-partner-innovation-growth-and-differentiation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Expert MSP program<\/a> make it easy for customers to discover and engage specialized MSPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Networking MSPs are a specialized set of MSPs for addressing enterprise cloud networking needs and challenges across all aspects of cloud and hybrid networking. Their managed network services and offerings include various aspects of the application lifecycle including network architecture, planning, deployment, operations, maintenance, and optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-lighthouse-unblocking-azure-networking-msps\">Azure Lighthouse &#8211; unblocking Azure Networking MSPs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many enterprise customers, such as banks and financial institutions want partners who can help them with managing their Azure Networking subscriptions. However, the need for individual customer management for these subscriptions introduces a lot of manual work for these service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, we announced <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/introducing-azure-lighthouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Lighthouse<\/a>, which is a unique set of capabilities on Azure, empowering service provider partners with a single control plane to view and manage Azure at scale across all their customers with higher automation and efficiency. We also talked about how Azure Lighthouse <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/how-azure-lighthouse-enables-management-at-scale-for-service-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enables management at scale for service providers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/azure-lighthouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Lighthouse<\/a>, Azure Networking MSPs can seamlessly onboard customers via managed services offers on the Azure marketplace or natively via ARM templates \u2013 empowering them to deliver a rich set of managed network experiences for their end-customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/086eeda0-69f8-4aa8-b3ae-1effe943848d.webp\" alt=\"An image showing how customers[4]\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"An image showing how customers[4]\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-networking-msp-partners\">Azure Networking MSP partners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Networking partners play a big role in the Azure networking ecosystem, delivering <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/virtual-wan\/virtual-wan-locations-partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual WAN CPEs<\/a> and hybrid networking services such as <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/expressroute\/expressroute-locations-providers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ExpressRoute<\/a> to enterprises that are building cloud infrastructures.

They\u2019ve trained their staff on Azure and have partnered closely with us in Azure Networking through technical workshops and design reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These partners are also early adopters of Azure Lighthouse, building and delivering a new generation of managed network experiences for their end customers. We encourage all worldwide networking MSPs, network carriers, and SIs that would like to join this program to reach out via <a href=\"mailto:ManagedVirtualWAN@microsoft.com\">ManagedVirtualWAN@microsoft.com<\/a> to join the Azure Networking MSP program and bring your unique value and services to Azure customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, we firmly believe that Azure customers will greatly benefit from the new cloud networking focused services our partners are bringing to the market.
