IP Addresses for Microsoft 365 as Destination Tenants

Autodetection of the Region of Destination Tenant

The Region of Destination Tenant feature helps improve migration performance through autodetection of the continent-level region closest to your destination tenant using the OpenID API for this detection and reading data from the Application and Directory IDs.

This selection happens automatically using a Round Robin Method when you create and save your project for Microsoft 365 as the destination tenant.

Round Robin Method

Round robin is a simple, yet useful method used to distribute requests evenly across multiple data centers.

Imagine MigrationWiz has three data centers in the Europe region: Netherlands, France, and Ireland. By default, each project created in the same region will be assigned to a different Data Center. The system distributes the connections in a round-robin manner as shown below:

• The first project request goes to the Netherlands.
• The second to France.
• The third to Ireland.
• Then the cycle repeats: the fourth to the Netherlands, the fifth to France, and so on.

This method ensures the load is evenly balanced across the available data centers in the region.

It works by taking turns in a circle, ensuring that each data center gets an equal share of the load, one after another.

Please note that each time you edit your project endpoints, the following message will appear at the top of your project window (where the blurred section shows the detected region):

Region, Data Center, and IP Information

The following table provides key details related to the destination tenant, including the region used for processing, the associated data center location, and the IP address(es) involved. 

If you need to change the destination tenant’s region to a specific Region Data Center, please make sure to first create the projects. Then, contact support with your request and include the list of the project names you want to lock to a specific data center.
