Description

Stretched clusters for Azure VMware Solution (AVS), now in preview, provides 99.99% uptime for mission critical applications that requires the highest availability. In times of availability zone failure, your virtual machines (VMs) and applications automatically failover to an unaffected availability zone with no application impact.  

Stretched cluster benefits:

  • Improve application availability.
  • Provide a zero-recovery point objective (RPO) capability for enterprise applications without needing to redesign or deploy expensive disaster recovery (DR) solutions.
  • A private cloud with stretched clusters is designed to provide 99.99% availability due to its resilience to availability zone failures.
  • Enables you to focus on core application requirements and features, instead of infrastructure availability.
