Data Storage Location for Power BI Embedded

[Bhavin]

Hi,
I am trying to understand where where Data is Stored when using Embedded.

Going to help -> About Power BI shows that it's stored in US West. Does using Embedded resource in a different region (EU) change this?

We need to store data in EU only for a subset of our customers that leverage PBI Embedded through our app. What's the best path to do this?

Thanks @TomMartens !

What I am unclear is if my Workspace is connected to an Embedded Capcacity in EU - does it mean that this (that I see under Settings -> Help & Support -> About PowerBI) is incorrect / irrelevant? 

Note that this information seems to be at the Tenant Level. Ideally, I want 2 Workspaces in the same Tenant - one tied to an Embedded Capcacity in US and another tied to an Embedded Capcacity in EU *and* storing the datasets in those respective regions.

Hi, @Bhavin 

The region you select during sign-up determines where data is stored.

It can be found in Help & Support -> About PowerBI.

You may also be using capacities in different regions for your workspaces. Customers that have purchased Power BI Premium capacity can specify a data region for each capacity. The region for the capacity can be different than the default region. 

Please refer to these documents for more details.

Find the default region for your organization

Hey @Bhavin ,

You can assign each capacity no matter if it's P[x], EM[x], or an A[x] to a different location.
