Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo<\/a> will be available from the new Brazil geography by Q1 of 2021. This service allows customers to configure the geographies where their Microsoft 365 user data is stored at rest, on a by-user basis, all within a single tenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMicrosoft is continuously making new investments in local infrastructure in response to growing customer demand as more industry leaders choose Microsoft\u2019s cloud services to further their digital transformations and respond to the remote-work shift caused by the Covid-19 global health crisis. The new datacenters offer Microsoft\u2019s full featured global cloud offering, full connectivity to our global cloud network, with customer data stored at rest in Brazil for core online services. In addition, replication of customer data in multiple datacenters across Brazil gives customers reliable in-country services for business continuity in both pure cloud and hybrid scenarios. This provides our customers with trusted cloud services that help them meet local security, compliance, and regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We see Brazilian organizations of all sizes and across all industries currently investing in new ways of empowering their employees with modern tools to enable secure, flexible, and mobile working that fosters collaboration. Microsoft 365 from the new Brazil geography is already seeing strong demand, especially with the new opportunity to store customer data at rest in Brazil for core online services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
