BC environments on different continents

Hi everyone!

We have a customer who has offices/sister companies in different continents. They all have users in the same Microsoft 365 tenant. What options are available to run Business Central in such an organization? Can new BC production environments be created in the existing Microsoft 365 tenant where we can determine which continent (which data center) the instance should be created in (perhaps with the help of Microsoft)? Or should a new tenant be created in the data centers where BC is to be located, and then create the necessary users as ‘external members’ in that tenant so that they can still log on to their own BC with the user from the main organization? We want to ensure that performance in BC is bearable for all of them. We will be moving data between different BC environments.

Do you have any suggestions on how to do this in the best possible way?

Best regards

Nicolai Hansen

You can create multiple Production environments within a Tenant (Microsoft 365 tenant).

As for the location of data storage, this is determined based on the Country/Region selected when the environment is created.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.

Hello Nicolai,

I think you need to purchase licenses for Sandbox and Production and you should be able to deploy them as per offices/sister companies in different continents. Users can be member from same Microsoft 365 tenant.

Thank you Umesh Pandit and Yun Zhu.

If we buy a license for another production environment in the tenant, and create a new BC environment in Brazil, the current environement and Azure tenant is located in Europe (not sure if it's North or West), where will the data be stored for the new environment? Will it be stored in Brazil or in the current european datacenter? Will that depend on the localization we choose when creating the production environment or will it always be stored in Europe like the current environment?

Best regards
