VMware VCF multi-site architectures, workload mobility, and disaster recovery strategies
VMware VCF multi-site architectures, workload mobility, and disaster recovery strategies. VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) provides robust solutions for multi-site architectures, workload mobility, and disaster recovery. Key strategies involve using vSAN Stretched Clusters for high availability within a region, NSX Federation for cross-site networking, and dedicated disaster recovery solutions like VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) or VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (vCDR) for failover between different regions or sites. Multi-Site Architecture Design and Implementation Designing a VCF multi-site architecture involves careful planning of the management and workload domains across different physical locations. Availability Zones and Regions : VCF architecture formalizes the concept of a "site" or "availability zone" (AZ). A region typically contains multiple AZs. Stretched Clusters :...
