American software company Tableau offers data storage choice

American software company Tableau is to allow its users choose where they want their data stored after unveiling its first European data centre in Dublin.

The opening of the centre gives new customers a choice between having their information held in Europe or North America while existing customers will also be able to transfer their data should they wish to do so.

The Seattle-based company’s decision marks it out from the majority of companies who determine where customers’ data is stored.
