Get an Office 365 Experience Your Users will Love
What does Microsoft
recommend for
Office 365? Direct
internet connections.
1 Identify and differentiate
Office 365 traffic
From the Office ProPlus, to SharePoint,
to Skype—you need to understand
which apps you’re using and how much
bandwidth they consume. This is the
traffic you must optimize separately
from other traffic.
For the best user
experience, Microsoft
recommends
direct-to-internet.
Here are the four
principles that
describe it.
2 Egress network connections locally
Send all your Office 365 app
traffic directly to the internet
locally and don’t route it
through a central gateway.
This reduces latency and
MPLS costs, and provides
the best performance for users.
3 Assess bypassing proxies
4 Avoid network hairpins
For Office 365 traffic, Microsoft
recommends bypassing your security
appliances. Such appliances can
hinder latency and performance,
and can trigger costly throughput
upgrades.
Make sure your remote users
go directly to Microsoft. VPN
hairpins add far too much latency,
which kills the user experience.
Use Zscaler
to enable
your direct
connections
Direct internet connections are required for Office
365, but how can you secure them? Direct-to-internet
means bypassing your security gateway, yet
it’s impractical and far too costly to place security
appliances at every branch. With Zscaler, you can
get fast and secure connections to Office 365 and
the internet, without appliances.
