Stretched cluster and 2-node cluster are two extremely powerful vSAN configurations that help our customers solve different types of challenges. Since both topologies offer synchronous data replication on two different sites (vSAN Fault domains), we often get asked by customers what’s the difference between these two. In this blog post, we will take some time to cover some of the most important similarities and differences that these two configurations have between each other.
