The Microsoft MWH Data Center Campus, formerly known as the Microsoft Oxford data center, is located at Port Industrial Parkway in Quincy.
In Phase One, the facility was developed to include four Availability Zone (AZ) buildings designated AZ-A, AZ-B, AZ-C, and AZ-D, along with four core network room (CNR) buildings and an administrative building. Phase Two of the expansion saw the addition of four more AZ buildings, also labeled AZ-A, AZ-B, AZ-C, and AZ-D. Over the years, the campus has continued to evolve through several expansion phases, gradually growing into its current extensive configuration of more than 2 million sqft of space.

Microsoft uses Containers (called ITPACs) to build out its data centers. These Containers are Shipping Containers fitted with all the necessary climate control, networking, server racks and other hardware necessary to be a “mini” data center all in one.
An Azure region is a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.
With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives customers the flexibility to deploy applications where they need to. Azure is generally available in 46 regions around the world, with plans announced for 8 additional regions.
An Azure geography is a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.
Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure through their connection to our dedicated high-capacity networking infrastructure.
Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.
Availability Zones allow customers to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
