Multi-region data storage allows your organisation to store and access data closer to your geographic location, improving performance and load times across the platform.
When setting up your workspace, you can choose a preferred storage region. This ensures your data is stored in the most optimal location for your team, particularly useful for organisations operating across multiple regions.
How It Works
Data is stored in a selected region (Sydney, Frankfurt, or Virginia)
Improves map loading and overall performance for users outside Australia
The selected region applies to all assets within your organisation
Region selection is initially set during onboarding (admin only)
Requesting a Region Change
If you need to update your organisation’s data region, this can be requested through the platform.
Steps:
Log in to your Birdi workspace
Navigate to Profile
Go to Admin settings
Select Request Region Change
Submit your preferred region
Important Notes
Region changes must be approved and completed by the Birdi team
Existing data will be migrated to the new region
Migration time depends on the size and number of files (can take time for larger datasets)
Platform performance may be temporarily impacted during migration
When to Use Multi-Region Storage
Your team is primarily based outside Australia
You’re experiencing slower map loading speeds
You want to optimise performance for global teams
