# Microsoft Purview accounts architectures and best practices

Microsoft Purview is a unified data governance solution. You deploy a Microsoft Purview account to centrally manage data governance across your data estate, spanning both cloud and on-prem environments. To use Microsoft Purview as your centralized data governance solution, you need to deploy one or more Microsoft Purview accounts inside your Azure subscription. We recommend keeping the number of Microsoft Purview instances as minimum, however, in some cases more Microsoft Purview instances are needed to fulfill business security and compliance requirements.

To enable Microsoft Purview governance solutions, like Microsoft Purview Data Map and Data Catalog, in your environment, you'll deploy a Microsoft Purview (formerly Azure Purview) account in the Azure portal. You'll use this account to centrally manage data governance across your data estate, spanning both cloud and on-premises environments.

Consider deploying minimum number of Microsoft Purview accounts for the entire organization. This approach takes maximum advantage of the "network effects" where the value of the platform increases exponentially as a function of the data that resides inside the platform.

Use [Microsoft Purview collections hierarchy](./concept-best-practices-collections.md) to lay out your organization's data management structure inside a single Microsoft Purview account. In this scenario, one Microsoft Purview account is deployed in an Azure subscription. Data sources from one or more Azure subscriptions can be registered and scanned inside the Microsoft Purview. You can also register and scan data sources from your on-premises or multi-cloud environments.

It is recommended to create a new instance of Microsoft Purview account when testing scan configurations or classifications in isolated environments. For some scenarios, there is a "versioning" feature in some areas of the platform such as glossary, however, it would be easier to have a "disposable" instance of Microsoft Purview to freely test expected functionality and then plan to roll out the feature into the production instance.

Additionally, consider using a test Microsoft Purview account when you cannot perform a rollback. For example, currently you cannot remove a glossary term attribute from a Microsoft Purview instance once it is added to your Microsoft Purview account. In this case, it is recommended using a test Microsoft Purview account first.

When you scan data sources in Microsoft Purview, information related to your metadata is ingested and stored inside your Microsoft Purview Data Map in the Azure region where your Microsoft Purview account is deployed. Consider deploying separate instances of Microsoft Purview if you have specific regulatory and compliance requirements that include even having metadata in a specific geographical location.

If your organization has data in multiple geographies and you must keep metadata in the same region as the actual data, you have to deploy multiple Microsoft Purview instances, one for each geography. In this case, data sources from each regions should be registered and scanned in the Microsoft Purview account that corresponds to the data source region or geography.

### Having Data sources distributed across multiple tenants

### Billing model

Review [Microsoft Purview Pricing model](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/azure-purview) when defining budgeting model and designing Microsoft Purview architecture for your organization. One billing is generated for a single Microsoft Purview account in the subscription where Microsoft Purview account is deployed. This model also applies to other Microsoft Purview costs such as scanning and classifying metadata inside Microsoft Purview Data Map.

Some organizations often have many business units (BUs) that operate separately, and, in some cases, they don't even share billing with each other. In those cases, the organization will end up creating a Microsoft Purview instance for each BU. This model is not ideal, however, may be necessary, especially because Business Units are often not willing to share Azure billing.

- Keep the number of Microsoft Purview accounts low for simplified administrative overhead. If you plan building multiple Microsoft Purview accounts, you may require creating and managing additional scans, access control model, credentials, and runtimes across your Microsoft Purview accounts. Additionally, you may need to manage classifications and glossary terms for each Microsoft Purview account.

- Review your budgeting and financial requirements. If possible, use chargeback or showback model when using Azure services and divide the cost of Microsoft Purview across the organization to keep the number of Microsoft Purview accounts minimum.

- Use [Microsoft Purview collections](concept-best-practices-collections.md) to define metadata access control inside Microsoft Purview Data Map for your organization's business users, data management and governance teams.

- Review [Microsoft Purview limits](./how-to-manage-quotas.md#microsoft-purview-limits) before deploying any new Microsoft Purview accounts. Currently, the default limit of Microsoft Purview accounts per region, per tenant (all subscriptions combined) is 3. You may need to contact Microsoft support to increase this limit in your subscription or tenant before deploying extra instances of Microsoft Purview.
