Background

In PlantSight, the user needs to choose the best iTwin/PlantSight hosting region for distributed workshare across multiple global locations. This article suggests a recommended approach to help select the most suitable region, as described below:

Steps to Accomplish

1. Visit PlantSight and navigate to Project Creation.

2. Under Data Center Location, review the available hosting regions:

· North Europe

· Central India

· Canada Central

· UK South

· UAE North

· Australia East

· Southeast Asia

· West Europe

· East US

3. Run the Azure Latency Test from each location’s official network:

Compare the average latency results across candidate regions.

4. Model-Based Validation: Host a large, representative model in two or three shortlisted regions.

5. Measure time-to-stream graphics for typical participants to validate performance.

6. Select the region that provides:

· Lowest average latency

· Acceptable streaming performance for most users
