stretched cluster VM redundancy

[DeclanOR · Accepted solution]

Hi @temuri426 

A stretch cluster only allows for two zones, A and B (or whatever you would like to call them)

You could of course create a separate DR site which is not included in the stretch however.

You could then additionally create backup policies that copy data from sites A and B off to your DR site as an additional layer of protection. (remote backups)

In the event that both zone A and zone B nodes have a catstrophic event which renders them both useless, you could restore from backups on your DR site. Additional consideration would need to be given to the capacity and resources available on the DR site to be able to handle restoring all of your backups on DR if you wanted to be 100% prepared for the worse case scenario.

Thanks,
