Geographical Considerations
This article discusses the commercial regions that Citrix Cloud uses and the presence of Citrix Cloud commercial services within each region.
For more information about the geographical regions and service presence for Citrix’s public-sector and dedicated cloud platforms, see Other cloud platforms from Citrix.
Choose a region
When your organization is onboarded to Citrix Cloud and you sign in for the first time, you are asked to choose one of the following regions:
- United States
- European Union
- Asia Pacific South
When you select a region, services hosted in that geographic region are used for actions associated with the organization where possible. Pick a region that maps to where most of your users and resources are located.
Important notes:
- You can choose a region only once, when your organization is onboarded. You cannot change your region later.
- If you are located in one region and use a service in another region, any performance impacts are minimal. Citrix Cloud services are designed to be used on a global basis. For example, customers in the US that have users and connectors in Australia will see minimal impact from latency.
- If Citrix Cloud is not supported in your region, pick a region that is closest to where most of your users and resources are located.
Service presence in each region
Most Citrix Cloud services are globally replicated. The region you select indicates a preference for where connections must be made. However, connections might still be made to other geographical regions. When a service is globally replicated, all the data of that service is stored in all regions.
Similarly, your data might be processed on a global basis by Citrix affiliates or subprocessors as necessary to perform the services.
Certain services have dedicated regional instances. Some services have US-based instances only. In these cases, connections and data are contained within the geographic region.
Where a service is not available in the region that you selected for your organization, certain information (such as authentication data) might be transferred between regions as needed.

Note:
Certain regional Services may be delivered with entitlements to non-regional component Services set forth elsewhere in the table above, and may be used at the customer’s election.
Citrix Cloud Services use the customer’s designated region to store Customer Content and Logs, except with select Logs collected by Citrix sub-processors or for which non-regional storage is necessary for performance of the service, including for support or troubleshooting, monitoring performance, security, auditing, and to allow for cross-region authentication (such as when an EU-based support engineer needs to access a US-based environment). Customer Content and Logs may be accessed on a global basis as necessary to perform the services.
For more information about the data stored by individual services, refer to the Technical Security Overview for each service.
Low-touch onboarding of NetScaler Console instances using Console Advisory Connect
As a part of Console Advisory Connect-based low-touch onboarding of Console instances:
- If you are an existing Citrix Cloud customer, the Console service tenant is created in the same geographical region that you selected when you created your Citrix Cloud account.
- If you are not an existing Citrix Cloud customer, the address mentioned for that customer in the Citrix.com portal is referred. A placeholder Console service tenant is created in the geographical region that corresponds to the region of this referred address. If you choose to onboard to Citrix Cloud in the future, a new Console service tenant is created in the same region that you select when you create your Citrix Cloud account. Also, the data is migrated from the placeholder Console service tenant to the new Console service tenant.
Endpoint Management service locations
