Deployment
One workspace. Your choice of where.

Guidance
Start with data location. Then decide who operates it.
Your deployment choice comes down to where your data can live, who operates the environment, and who needs access. Answer these three questions to find the right fit for your organization.
01
Where may files live?
Consider your organization's data residency requirements and where files are allowed to be stored.
02
Who manages updates and backups?
Decide whether your team operates the environment or you prefer a managed service.
03
Who needs access?
Consider whether files are only for a local network or need to be shared with external collaborators.
Region pinning and cross-region replication are roadmap capabilities.
