You can configure the Azure ExpressRoute circuit and Azure Private Link (Private Endpoint) for Metallic Cloud Storage Service.
Configuring Azure ExpressRoute
As the ExpressRoute is completely transparent to Metallic Cloud Storage Service, no additional approval or configuration is required for Metallic Cloud Storage Service. (For information about configuring the Azure ExpressRoute circuit, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ca/azure/expressroute/expressroute-howto-circuit-portal-resource-manager.)
