Zusammenfassung:Dynamic mobility of virtual data centers and converged infrastructure components, such as Vblocks, may be provided using a virtual platform product that federates and/or coordinates virtual storage. The system described herein enables sharing of distributed resources between multi-connected virtual platform clusters, such as VPLEX clusters, in a dynamic sharing arrangement. A virtual platform cluster may include one or more pairs of directors that enables failover from one director of the pair(s) to the other director of the pair(s) in a cluster in the case of hardware or path failure.
