Business continuity and disaster recovery
AVS makes it possible to have one or more private clouds that have vSphere clusters in them. These clusters are built on bare-metal Azure servers. There must be at least 3 ESXi hosts in each cluster, and there can be up to 16 hosts in each cluster. As many as 96 hosts can be run in a private cloud at the same time. The solution comes with vCenter Server, vSAN, vSphere, and NSX-T as part of the private cloud offering. A 10-gigabit ExpressRoute is also a part of the default solution.
As robust as the solution is by default, a business continuity and disaster recovery solution is highly recommended.
