data location of my Office 365 environment
Your office 365 tenant has a place somewhere in the world on a server. But where exactly is that?
Regions is a better description than a physical location, because data shifts from server to server in this region for redundancy.
Office 365 data will always be hosted in a region for example: Western Europe, unless you are talking about special tenants such as Germany or the U.S. Government.
In this blog, I explain in advance how you can see where your tenant just sits. You often need this in the context of compliance or regulations such as AVG or GDPR.
