About This Architecture
Dual-site VMware SAN infrastructure with NetApp FAS arrays provides stretched storage fabric for disaster recovery and business continuity. Three ESXi hosts at the primary site connect via 8Gb Fibre Channel SAN switches to NetApp FAS2552 primary storage, while a remote site hosts NetApp FAS2554 secondary storage synchronized over WAN/IP network. vCenter Server and NetApp ONTAP Manager coordinate management across both sites, with dedicated 10G switches handling vMotion and VM traffic. This architecture enables seamless VM migration between sites, synchronized replication, and fault tolerance without single points of failure.
