Three-node cluster quorum without physical 3rd node!

WAN

Consistency of the file system is essential.

To guarantee consistency of a file system a quorum is needed.

In a HyperFlex cluster a quorum requires a majority, or 2 of 3 nodes available and in agreement in a cluster.

Traditional 2-Node ROBO solutions require a 3rd site for witness VMs.

Cisco’s innovation of the Intersight Invisible Cloud Witness virtually eliminates the costs with deploying 2-node HCI clusters/
