Announcing a preview of the next service addition to virtual WAN, which will allow customers to access corporate resources that are connected to an ExpressRoute circuit like an on-premises datacenter/headquarters and VNets connected to the ExpressRoute circuit.  

Additionally, a feature available only in the Virtual WAN will enable the ability for branches to access resources connected to the ExpressRoute circuit and vice-versa.
