# Nonregional Azure services
14+
15+
Nonregional services, listed on [Azure global infrastructure products](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=all), are services for which there is no dependency on a specific Azure region.
16+
17+
## Types of nonregional services
18+
19+
There are two categories of nonregional services:
20+
21+
- **Geographic services** are deployed to two or more regions within a geography. If there is a regional failure, the instance of the service in another region continues servicing customers.
22+
- **Global services** are deployed to all regions worldwide. If there is a regional failure, an instance in another global region continues servicing customers.
23+
24+
Some nonregional services enable customers to specify the region where some components are deployed. For example, [Azure Virtual Desktop](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/virtual-desktop/) enables customers to specify the region where their host pool (VMs) reside.
25+
26+
### Data residency
27+
28+
Most Azure services that store customer data allow the customer to specify the specific regions in which their data will be stored. One exception is [Microsoft Entra ID](https://www.microsoft.com/security/business/identity-access/microsoft-entra-id). When you use Entra ID, you can select geographic placement (such as Europe or North America), or in some situations you can select worldwide for global distribution. For more information, see [Microsoft Entra ID and data residency](/entra/fundamentals/data-residency).
29+
30+
For more information about data residency in Azure, see [Data residency in Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/data-residency/).
