Description

We’re excited to share that Azure Data Box cross-region data transfer capabilities, now in preview, supports seamless ingest of on-premises data from a source country/region to select Azure destinations in a different country/region. For example, with this capability, you can now copy on-premises data from Singapore or India to the West US Azure destination region. Note that the Azure Data Box device isn't shipped across commerce boundaries. Instead, it's transported from/to an Azure data Center within the originating country or region where the on-premises data resides. Data transfer to the destination Azure region takes place across the Azure network and incurs no additional fee.

Learn more about this capability and the supported country/region combinations for Azure Data Box, Azure Data Box Disk, and Azure Data Box Heavy respectively.
