4.4.1 Data Center Connectivity
The connectivity between the end customer and the VMware Cloud Provider is important to be able to offer a consistent service level.
The provider can either offer their direct connected services or VPN services to the end customers. This solution example assumes that the data centers are connected by an established WAN/MPLS connection offered between the VMware Cloud Provider and end customer.
It is important that the following services can communicate across the Layer 3 network with their counterparts on the target sites (provider and end customer):
• NSX Manager
• VMware NSX Controller™ nodes
• vCenter Server nodes
• Platform Services Controller instances
• vSphere Replication Managers and Servers
• Site Recovery Manager servers
Note It is also important that the MTU is at least 1,600 end-to-end between data centers to support the additional packet size for VXLAN.
