Microsoft have made a few changes this month:

Added “hidden offer products” to MCA Availability tables – these seem to include:

  1. M365 Cross-tenant User Data Migration
  2. Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management Add-on to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Servers
  3. Viva Glint
  4. VDA Add-on for M365 E3/E5 USL
  5. M365 Apps for Enterprise
  6. Workplace Analytics

Numbers 2, 4, and 7 may not be available “in all sales channels and geos” and may also require “engaging with a Microsoft representative to place an order“.

A new Remote Network Bandwidth SKU has been added to the M365 section (this relates to Global Secure Access via Entra).

Microsoft Dragon Copilot has been added – this is a healthcare focused product from their Nuance acquisition.

Microsoft Multi-Geo add-on SKU comes to CSP

The Multi-Geo add-on SKU is finally arriving on CSP from June 1, 2023 for users licensed with:

  • Microsoft 365 (but seemingly not the Business SKUs)
  • Office 365
  • Exchange Online
  • SharePoint Online
  • OneDrive for Business

This add-on enables customers to manage data-at-rest locations across multiple regions within a single tenant.

Licensing

As a minimum, customers must purchase a quantity of Multi-Geo licenses that is equal to at least 5% of the total number of eligible M365 licenses*. So if you have 1000 eligible licenses, you must purchase at least 50 Multi-Geo licenses.

A tenant must be configured for Multi-Geo support, a process which begins automatically once ordered licenses appear in the tenant. Interestingly Microsoft state that:

“the time required to configure a Tenant for Multi-Geo support varies from Tenant to Tenant, but most Tenants finish within a month after receipt of the feature licenses. Larger or more complex Tenants may require more time to complete the configuration process“

so make sure you leave enough time before the functionality is needed in production. You can see more details here.

*This applies to EA and CSP.
