The data is stored in an Azure storage account in the client's environment. The location of this account is defined by the client during the installation. We recommend setting up a storage account in the same location as the client's Power BI Service. You will be guided through this process since we will do the set-up together.
In rare cases, when clients don't have an Azure subscription, we can also host the data in our Azure environment. Even in these cases, the clients can choose in which country the data should be stored.
