PowerBI regions #

PowerBI workspaces and fabric capacities stay in North Europe #

  • least amount of work all throughout
  • we lose 10% discount on Sweden Central
  • networking lag due to data platform location (West Europe - data centers in Netherlands) and PowerBI (North Europe - data centers in Ireland)

PowerBI workspaces and fabric capacities migration to Sweden Central #

  • full migration of all PowerBI objects required
  • lesser networking lag
    • data platform in West Europe (Netherlands)
    • PowerBI in Sweden Central (Stockholm)
    • lesser distance between Netherlands and Stockholm comparing to Ireland and Netherlands
  • 10% discount on resources
    • if PowerBI is to be kept at 2x of F64, ~11 DKK a month savings

PowerBI workspaces and fabric capacities migration to West Europe (data platform region) #

  • full migration of all PowerBI objects required
  • most optimal networking (data platform and PowerBI in the same region)
  • we lose 10% discount on Sweden Central

PowerBI workspaces and fabric capacities migration to Sweden Central (data platform region) #

  • full migration of all PowerBI objects required
  • full migration of current BI setup on DLH
    • lots, lots of work, halts to current projects
  • most optimal networking (data platform and PowerBI in the same region)
  • we benefit from 10% discount on both PowerBI and DLH

TODO:

  • ask Michael for estimation on migration
