Hosting Confluence server

Question

At the moment we are using Confluence cloud, and thinking of migrating to Confluence server. Due to geographical location/restrictions and for performance reason we want to host Confluence Server in three locations: Asia, Europe and NA.

My question is regrading the management of licenses. How does Confluence licenses are managed when it is being hosted from more than one servers and being used by users globally.

You can’t run data center in multiple geographic locations like that. It’s only supported in the same data center.

Given low enough latency and high enough bandwidth between two different data centers the system shouldn’t have any issues, asia/na/eu are just not going to work.

Youll need to look at picking a suitable location as central as possible (eu makes sense) and tune the environment to support your more distant users.

Hopefully my write up on cloudfront (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-discussions/CDN-CloudFront-and-Atlassian-Server-apps/m-p/731230#M2361) might be helpful.

Daniel, I was exploring Confluence Data centre option and have a question, can you have multiple servers of a single Confluence instance hosted/running in different geographical regions, lilke Asia, NA and Europe?
