Dynamics 365 Business Central: announcing Italy North availability.
From version 27.3, Business Central tenants for Italian customers are deployed to the new Italy North datacenter in Milan, and existing Italian environments will also be moved there. Environments previously linked to a Power Platform environment must be unlinked first. Measured latency from Italy drops to about 26 ms, versus 42 ms for West Europe and 55 ms for North Europe.
