Best practices when selecting a region for a new organization

If you are creating an organization for use with an On Demand module, first determine the data location for your Microsoft 365 tenants.

You can view tenant-specific data location information in your Microsoft 365 Admin Center in Settings | Org settings | Organization Profile | Data location. For details about where your data is stored, see the Microsoft article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/o365-data-locations?view=o365-worldwide

For most On Demand modules, select the On Demand deployment region that contains the data location of your Microsoft 365 tenant, if none of the available deployment regions match your Microsoft 365 tenant data location, select the deployment region that is closest to your Microsoft 365 tenant. For the On Demand Migration module see the section that follows.

Considerations when you create an On Demand organization for migration

On Demand Migration, the following points should be considered when selecting an On Demand region for a new organization:

•
Select the On Demand deployment region that contains at least one data location for your source and target Microsoft 365 tenancies.
•
If the source and target Microsoft 365 tenant data locations are in different On Demand deployment regions, select the region closest to the target tenant data location.
•
If neither the source nor target Microsoft 365 tenant data locations are in an On Demand deployment region, select a region that provides the shortest migration path from source tenant to On Demand deployment region to target tenant.
•
If the Microsoft 365 tenancies have Multi-Geo capability enabled, you might need to create separate On Demand organizations in different deployment regions. Consider the locations of each source and target combination and create On Demand organizations in a suitable deployment region.
