PaulAndrew , hmm, thanks Paul, i thought a "front door" is the entry into the Microsoft Global Network and not in a specific datacenter. We do not plan to use the Switzerland based datacenter for Office 365 / ExO. However it was our understanding to chose the closest entry point into the MGN to connect into the MGN.

Is this a wrong interpretation?

 

Thanks,
Franck

Franck1304 we use the term Office 365 service front door to refer to the first Microsoft server that your connection reaches at an application layer so that the TCP connection is terminated. For Exchange Online these are client access front end servers and they do not store your maibox data at rest. This is also different to a router on Microsofts ASN 8075 network.
