Why NET+ Microsoft Azure? •  Special terms and conditions for IP, ITAR, FERPA, etc. needs •  Campuses can get a HIPAA BAA with Microsoft •  IRU (irrevocable right of use) model, facilitating the acquisition of Azure Services as capital

assets and thereby facilitating the use of grant funding •  towards the purchase of cloud services and potentially avoiding indirect charges for

overhead. •  Data egress fee waiver intended for use in supporting the research and education activities of

the higher education community. To obtain the waiver, institutions are jointly “qualified” as eligible by Internet2 and Microsoft.

•  Campuses may participate in the Internet2 Microsoft Community with access to information, webinars, events and other benefits.
