Data Gateway - Region

[PowerAuto82]

Hi,

The capacity settings when checking this on Admin Portal is set to UK South ( Gen2 Premium ).

When I check on the Help & Support > About Power BI it says Your data is stored inNorth Europe (Ireland)

I have clicked on Download > Data Gateway and installed this on an OnPrem server ( which is nearer to my other OnPrem servers that will connecting to, to query)

I then went back to Power BI Service > Settings > Manage gateways and added the relevant Data Sources which are mainly SQL Server connections. 

My question is can I change the Default for the Gateway from North Europe to UK South ?

Because I do not want my Data I am connecting to routing

from UK to Republic Ireland to UK South

As I believe that is what will happen if I do not change the Default for the Gateway or is that not correct what I am saying?

Thanks

Hi @PowerAuto82 

I cannot say 100% sure if that would go where it is supposed to go. I would think that the data would flow in the region it is set to, as long as other data sources are in the same region?

Hi @PowerAuto82 

Yes that should work.

In the past I have not had any issues with gateways in different regions as the connectivity between the Azure data centres is super fast.

Hi @GilbertQ 

It wasn't really a question of if it works I was checking will the data be channelled across North Europe (Ireland) before the data gets stored in UK South as that is where my Workspace region is.

I do not want it to got to North Europe but because the Gateway default is located it looks like it will? Would you be able to know this?

Thanks
