Where your data is hosted
Which Microsoft Azure data centre holds your tenant — Hong Kong or Japan today, the United Kingdom on the roadmap — how availability is kept up, and why Offision is cloud-only with no on-premises option.
Offision is a cloud service hosted on Microsoft Azure. Every tenant lives in one Azure data centre, chosen when the tenant is created, and its data stays in that region.
Regions
| Region | Status |
|---|---|
| Hong Kong | Available |
| Japan | Available |
| United Kingdom | On the roadmap |
If your organisation needs a region that is not yet available, tell your Offision contact — roadmap regions are prioritised by demand.
An account lives in one region, and signing in takes you to it. Somebody looking for their company on the wrong region’s address is still found: the entry in Select Offision domain carries that company’s own web address, and choosing it moves the browser there before asking for a password. So there is one link to hand out, whichever region an office is on. See Sign in to Offision.
High availability
The service runs on redundant Azure infrastructure, so the failure of a single server or component does not take your tenant offline. Backups are kept within the same region as the tenant.
What Offision does not offer
There is no on-premises or self-hosted deployment. Offision runs only in the Azure data centres above; it cannot be installed on your own servers or in your own cloud subscription.
