Office 365 UK Data Centres now live

I thought this deserved its own thread:

 

"We are https://blogs.office.com/2016/09/07/office-365-local-datacenters-now-available-in-the-united-kingdom/the general availability of Office 365 http://o365datacentermap.azurewebsites.net/ in the United Kingdom. We are pleased to be the first global cloud productivity provider offering U.K. data residency for core customer data at rest."

 

 

"Today, we’ve taken a significant step forward to empower businesses to achieve more with the first complete cloud offering delivered from a global provider within the U.K. Built to power their digital transformation, Microsoft Azure and Office 365 are now generally available from new datacenter regions."

 

I wonder how, what I hope will eventually be a migration process for existing UK customers would work?  How did it work for the Singapore to Australia switch, for example, anyone know?

    How will this impact existing users? If we've been in Office365 for over a year I ussume we were jhosted elsewhjere, and I'm assuming it will, in effect, "move"??

      AFAIK, existig users will not be impacted in any way...Microsoft could move Office 365 tenants for UK customers to the new datacenter without causing any impact. Indeed they have a great experience on that when they move Office 365 tenant from Asia region to Australia when Australia Datacenter was ready
