How do we know what datacenter we are in (so we can download the right SOC 2 report?)

[SteveK1]

I am having a huge amount of trouble getting an answer to this.  The Cisco Trust Portal lists four SOC 2 Type 2 reports for Meraki:

• Cisco Meraki AWS Hosting Global SOC 2
• Cisco Meraki Global EMEA APAC North America DC SOC 2
• Cisco Meraki North America DC1 SOC 2
• Cisco Meraki North America DC2 SOC 2 

However, I don't know what datacenter we are serviced out of, so I don't know which report to read.

Neither Meraki support nor our CSM is any help here; both report not knowing which datacenter we use.

Is there any way that we can discover this information for ourselves?

Thanks in advance!

It is on the very bottom of the Dashboard in small print.

Thanks for that information.   I had seen that, but really what I mean is, do we want the DC1 or DC2 report?  (or are they identical?)

You kind of need both - the redundancy built into the Meraki solution means that you are using / could be using either / both.

See "Data Center Backup High Availability"   here:   https://documentation.meraki.com/Architectures_and_Best_Practices/Cisco_Meraki_Best_Practice_Design/...

Hi @GreenMan,

Thanks very much!  That's hugely helpful.
