A company is conducting a technology refresh and has requested assistance with a vSphere 6.5 design.
The company has a corporate headquarters and two data centers strategically placed around the

country, which provide the bulk of the computer power and storage for their customer-facing stores.
The company requires each of its stores to be able to operate independently if connectivity is ever lost.

Presently, all stores are configured differently and must be standardized as part of the technology

refresh.
To support store operations, only a dozen applications are required.

Any downtime during store hours could result in significant losses.

Any proposed design must minimize cost.

What is a VMware-recommended option for this scenario?
