Changing the Geographic Region of Data Routing

Data routing refers to how data is transferred to and from Remote Servers. The settings for restricting flows through non-USA regions are only available when your top-level (root) folder is set to a non-USA geographic region.

You can restrict data routing to a geographic region in two ways: apply a global restriction to your entire site, or apply individual restrictions per Remote Server. Per-server restrictions let you configure each Remote Server to use either the default USA geographic region or the geographic region of your top-level (root) folder.

A Site Administrator can enforce the geographic region of data routing for all Remote Servers in your site. Use the Remote servers data regional routing setting in your site's Data Storage Regions section to enable this site-wide.

To enforce the geographic region for the data routing of a specific Remote Server, edit the Remote Server configuration and update its Connection Routing setting.

Changes to the data routing setting take immediate effect for all new connections and new data transfers. Existing connections continue until their data transfer is complete, so there is no downtime or interruption of data transmission.
