What is Data Residency and Why Does it Matter to Me?
Data residency refers to the geographical location—whether a country or a region—where your hockey stick and toque, wait no, data is stored and processed. It’s a big deal in modern data management because it helps with regulatory compliance, boosts security, improves performance, and builds customer trust.
For organizations in regulated industries like finance, government, or healthcare, it’s essential that data resides in specific locations to meet internal data management policies and external regulatory requirements.
