Which Azure Data center in US has the best performance for the other data centers in terms of network latency

I have a need that, I need to install a sql azure database in one US data center, then this database will be accessed/connected by an application that is running on multiple azure data centers in US (east, north, central, west, etc).

My question is: which data center should i install the sql azure database, so that, my application on all other azure data center can achieve better performance in terms of network latency?

Right now i have no plan to replica the database or use any other options.

You can check Azure Speed Test and chose the one with low latency:

PS: you can also enable Azure Traffic Manager to deal with that.

I'm not aware of any public, reliable numbers re: this question. Geographically speaking, I'd expect marginally lower latency if you put your database in a central datacenter, so US North or US South.

I feel obliged to note that I expect other concerns to be far more relevant to your performance concerns. Database design and indices make a huge difference, and all datacenters have fat pipes to the rest of the world. :)
