Office 365 Multi-Geo Solves Data Sovereignty but not Network Problems

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Tony Redmond

Microsoft will release Office 365 multi-geo tenants to general availability in early 2018. You can then deploy Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, and (later) SharePoint Online across multiple Office 365 datacenter regions. It’s good for data sovereignty, but won’t solve network problems.

GDPR from Microsoft
