Combine metro node Metro HA with host failover clustering technologies such as VMware HA to create fully automatic application restart for any site-level disaster.
Metro node Metro/VMware HA configurations:
In this deployment, virtual machines can write to the same distributed device from either cluster and move between two geographically disparate locations.
If you use VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) to automate load distribution on virtual machines across multiple ESX servers, you can move a virtual machine from an ESX server attached to one metro node cluster to an ESX server attached to the second metro node cluster, without losing access to the underlying storage.
