Cloud IBR recoveries at Google Cloud provide you with a full VMware VCF infrastructure with vSAN, NSX-T, and vCenter. You can have up to 8 Nodes in a Recovery Cluster.
Hardware Specifications for Google Private Cloud per Node:
- CPU: Intel Xeon Gold 6240 (Skylake) 2.6 GHz (3.9 GHz Turbo) x2, 36 cores/72 hyper-threads.
- Memory: 768 GB.
- RAW Storage: 19.2 TB (6 x 3.2 TB NVMe)
- Usable Storage: 15TB
- Cache: 3.2 TB (2 x 1.6 TB NVMe)
- Network: 100 Gbps throughput (4 x Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx Dual Port 25 GbE)
Recovery tests can be run on a single Node cluster. There is a three Node minimum Cluster Size when initiating an actual recovery from a disaster. Three Nodes ensures that the Google infrastructure is production ready with full vSAN redundancy.
