We are excited to announce that Microsoft 365 and the Microsoft 365 Advanced Data Residency add-on (ADR) are now available for commercial customers in our new cloud region in Chile. Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo Capabilities for Chile will be available soon.
The Advanced Data Residency and Multi-Geo Capabilities add-ons offer customers provisioned in Chile greater control over the location of their cloud data.
- ADR provides guarantees that certain customer data will be stored at rest within region (in this case, within Chile) for several core online services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Defender for Office (Plan 1), Exchange Online Protection, Office for the Web, Viva Connections, and certain Microsoft Purview products.
- Multi-Geo allows customers to configure in which geographies their Microsoft 365 user data is stored at rest on a per-user basis and within a single tenant. Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot are available for Multi-Geo configuration.
This new cloud region will provide artificial intelligence (AI) and other cloud services to contribute to the digital transformation and the development of the AI economy in Chile.
“With the inauguration today of our first Data Center Region in Chile, we are not only deploying technological infrastructure that provides the most innovative cloud services, offering high levels of reliability, security, privacy, and data residency—we are building the future. With more than 30 years as a company in Chile, that is why our investment plan, Transforma Chile, is a driver of progress that advances the country’s digital agenda, strengthening industries, impacting economic development and GDP, creating jobs, bridging connectivity and skills gaps, and ultimately supporting Chile’s growth.”
-- Fernando López Iervasi, President of Microsoft South America Hispanic
