Meraki Dashboard Migration Between Cisco DCs in Different Geographies - Eg. USA to Canada

Hello Cisco Meraki,

 

Considering the current political climate and ever-growing concern around data residency requirements customers must comply with; when will Cisco (Meraki) support migrations of customer Meraki Dashboards from one DC to a different DC in a different geography? For example, move a Meraki Dashboard from a US (.com) DC to a Canadian (.ca) DC or vice versa? The current solution of recreating the Org and its Network(s) in the new geography IS NOT SCALEABLE for those of us that created Dashboards in the USA prior to other DCs in our home geographies being available.

 

NOTE: Microsoft managed to provide M365 tenant migrations to different geographies more than a decade ago, Cisco Meraki should be able to do the same, please.

 

Hoping community members supporting this request will give this post a Kudo please.

 

Thank you.

Wow.  Interesting question.  I think you are right, and that there should be a process for this.

 

Have you asked support, in case there is?

 

When they do a shard split, they have to migrate half the orgs to the new shard - so you would think that such a process already exists.

Yes, both I have contacted support a number of times as have customers hoping that the situation would change. Answer is still the same "Recreate Org and its Network(s) in the new geography". It's super easy for Meraki Enterprise Support to move Networks from one Org to a new Org within a Geography but a no can do between geographies. We really need the ability to migrate our Dashboard tenants from one geography's DC (USA) to a DC in a new geography (Canada or other supported geographies) without having to do so manually.

Hoping community members supporting this request will give my orignal post a Kudo, please.
