HNREL04-BP01 Use physical location redundancy to host dedicated connections
Design dedicated connections hosted at multiple geographically separated data centers or colocation facilities to provide physical location redundancy. This design ensures that your connectivity to cloud remains available even if one location is affected by an outage or disaster.
Desired outcome: Maintain high availability and business continuity for hybrid connectivity, even in the event of a site-level failure.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Minimizes the risk of a single point of failure
-
Enhance disaster recovery capabilities
-
Supports compliance and uptime requirements
-
Increases overall hybrid network resilience
Implementation guidance
-
Deploy Direct Connect connections in at least two geographically distinct locations.
-
Route traffic dynamically between locations for failover.
-
Test failover scenarios regularly to validate resilience.
