What type of architecture does VPLEX utilize?

VPLEX utilizes a distributed architecture, which is fundamental to its design and functionality. In this architecture, data and resources are spread across multiple locations, allowing for improved scalability, performance, and flexibility. The distributed approach means that VPLEX can manage data that resides in different physical locations while maintaining access and control over that data as if it were in a single location.

This design enables VPLEX to provide features like active-active availability, where multiple sites can access the same data concurrently, enhancing both availability and disaster recovery capabilities. It allows organizations to leverage resources across geographies, optimizing storage usage and minimizing latency for end-users.

Distributed architecture is particularly advantageous for applications that require high availability and data consistency across various environments, making it a key reason why VPLEX adopts this architecture.
