Summary: Microsoft’s expansion plans in Europe are forging ahead with the opening of a dedicated Azure cloud location in Germany. Two Azure regions are hosted out of data centres in Magdeburg and Frankfurt. These locations are likely operated by T-Systems International, the Deutsche Telekom subsidiary which has been given responsibility for holding and controlling data held by Microsoft Cloud Germany to ensure it is only accessed by the customer or a data trustee and complies with German data regulations. Microsoft Cloud Germany is compatible with SAP HANA, which is widely used in Germany. Microsoft recently opened cloud regions in the UK.
