• Controllability: Treat Azure Virtual Network as you would your own Datacenter;
• Extensibility: Extends your on-premises Datacenter to the cloud;
• Customization: Use pre-built solutions from Azure Marketplace to customize your Virtual Network;
• Global reach: You may extend and/or scale your Virtual Network on different regions in the world.
