Where is my data stored if I choose a "cloud hosted" MIDAS system?

Customers who choose a "cloud hosted" edition of MIDAS are offered a choice of data center location for where their live MIDAS database should reside.

The three data center locations currently offered are:

  • European (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
  • US East Coast (Atlanta, Georgia)
  • US West Coast (Seattle, Washington)
You can read more about these world class data centers we use in our KB article Which data center should I choose?.

Our backup client servers reside in a separate US East Coast data center located in Ashburn, Virginia.

In addition to the data centers listed above, we also routinely automatically back up data from our cloud-hosted customer's MIDAS systems to backup servers located in the UK.

  • If you are concerned that a copy of your data would be stored in the UK, then you should choose a "self hosted" edition of MIDAS instead.
  • If you are concerned that a copy of your data would be stored in the US, then you should:
    • Choose the European data center option, and;
    • Don't select the Emergency Access Addon, and;
    • Explicitly inform us when subscribing that you don't wish your data to be backed up to the US.
    • ....or alternatively choose a "self hosted" edition of MIDAS instead.
Our self hosted option allows you to download, install & run MIDAS on your own network infrastructure within your own country or organization. This could be, for example, on a web server residing inside your organization's own local Intranet.
