Appendix C: vCloud Suite Disaster Recovery : Using VXLAN to Simplify vCloud Disaster Recovery : Background : VXLAN for DR Architecture
   
VXLAN for DR Architecture
To conduct the required testing, a sample architecture was deployed to simulate the process. In keeping with the reference infrastructure and methodology defined previously in the vCloud DR Solution Tech Guide, the test infrastructure constitutes a cluster that has ESXi members in both the primary and the recovery site. The premise is the workloads run in the primary site where the vSphere hosts are Connected.
In the recovery site the vSphere hosts are in maintenance mode, but configured in the same cluster and attached to all of the same vSphere Distributed Switches(VDS). The solution approach considered within the following sections is developed on the basis of the vCloud DR Solution Tech Guide, so the prerequisites it defines are applicable for this solution.
