7.1 Local Data Center Site Deployment Model
Deploying vSAN within the boundaries of a single data center site is the most common design to date. In this use case, all nodes within the vSAN enabled clusters are installed at a single site, locally.

This single site model facilitates a number of different use cases for service providers, including, but not limited to:
• Tier 1, 2 and 3 production workload systems
• Management or cloud management clusters
• DMZ/isolated clusters
• Development platform clusters
• Backup/disaster recovery target
• Virtual desktop and EUC infrastructure
The following sections address the design considerations and recommendations for these use cases.
