Deutsche Telekom prepares to offer managed network services for Azure

Deutsche Telekom, one of the largest telcos in Europe, announced that it has joined Microsoft's Azure Networking Managed Service Provider (MSP) partner program. Going forward, it will offer Azure managed network services including virtual WAN, together with ExpressRoute, managed firewalls or DDoS attack mitigation.

Since the Networking Managed Service Provider program was launched in July of last year, the program has expanded from the original eight members—Equinix, Aryaka, Data Dimension, Megaport, IIJ, Intercloud and Tata Communications—to include CenturyLink and Vandis.
