Hi All, 

 

As you know vSAN stretched cluster support min 1+1+ witness and requires min  vSphere Enterprise Plus license is required. Also vSAN Enterprise  license is required. You can expand the cluster. 

On the other hand if I implement 2 node Vxrail deployment with Vsan Standart and Vsphere essential plus license I would have similar solution to simpliviry 2 node. and it is more affordable. I know it can not expand . 

But customers only want when 1 node fails. All the VM retarts on the 2nd node. As I now this is done via HA feature and it is included vsphere essential plus . 

Can this be a cost effective solution against simplivity?
