Microsoft’s global network connects over 60 Azure regions, over 220 Azure data centers, over 170 edge sites, and spans the globe with more than 165,000 miles of terrestrial and subsea fiber. This translates to trillions of requests per day and terabytes of data transferred each second on our global network.

Network system reliability is a top priority for us, and we are continuously making improvements to our systems.

The validation cycle uses Open Network Emulator for a complete emulation of the global network, and our Real time Operation Checker validates the risk of each change to the network.

Network devices are emulated with images of their software running in containers and virtual machines in Azure.
