Vsan in a stretched storage deployment accomplishes this by synchronously mirroring data across the two sites.
Storage policies have availability attributes and advanced attributes.
You can assign storage policies when you create or reconfigure virtual machines.
The pftt that was designated at the local site prior to enabling a stretched cluster is now set across sites.
Stretched storage with vsan allows you to split the vsan cluster across two sites so that if a site fails providers are able to seamlessly fail over to the other site without any loss of data.
