We are excited to announce that Microsoft 365 and associated data residency offerings–Advanced Data Residency (ADR) and Multi-Geo Capabilities–are now available for commercial customers in our new cloud region in Taiwan.
- ADR provides guarantees that certain customer data will be stored at rest—in this case, in Taiwan—for several core online services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Exchange Online Protection, Office for the Web, Viva Connections, and certain Purview products.
- Multi-Geo capabilities allow customers to specify geographies in which their Microsoft 365 user data is stored at rest on a per-user basis and within a single tenant. Exchange Online, SharePoint, 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 Taiwan.
"We are thrilled to announce the launch of Microsoft’s "AI+ Taiwan” plan, starting with the availability of Microsoft 365 and our data residency offerings. This marks a significant milestone in Microsoft’s investment in Taiwan and reiterates our commitment to providing best-in-class cloud services that unlock opportunities across Taiwan. Our new cloud region delivers secure, compliant, hyper-scale services to drive Taiwan's digital transformation. We look forward to partnering with Taiwanese organizations to seize the vast opportunities in the AI economy.” -- Sean Pien, General Manager, Microsoft Taiwan
This is a continuation of a series of datacenter launches over the last 20 months, including launches in Poland, Italy, Mexico, and Spain.
