how to change cloud server location?

My company is in Brazil, and all Power BI data is stored in Brazilian cloud. But all my raw data servers are inside USA, and I would like to change the server location of published reports to USA. ...

Hi Anonymous,

 

The way to change Power BI region location will involve lots of internal process, I'm a forum support engineer, it's better to let dedicated engineer help you. As you have Pro license, it's free to open a support ticket.  :smileyhappy:

 

Best Regards,

I requested a Power BI move using a support ticket as instructed. I need to sign an order form where they use the term 'Power BI Tenant', instead of 'Power BI Service'.  But you have to give the ID of your Office 365 Tenant to be moved.  That by itself is weird/confusing.

 

But within that document there is a warning in rather broadly defined wording. I could easily interpret the change document as 'we will move your O365 Tenant (<> Power BI) and doing so all data could be destroyed.'  That does make me hesitate to actually go through with this.

 

Anyone who did this already?  Is this a safe process? I.e. will by O365 still remain intact and in the same region (regardless where it is)?

    In the end we made the jump and asked for a location change.  Sent in the form and about 30 minutes later the Power BI site was changed. :-) No issues for O365 or Azure.
