    In addition to Hypervisor HA, it would be beneficial to implement vSNAP failover clustering. This said, part of the requirement is for three copies of the data, so while this would provide HA in physical servers, it would likely be operating on shared disk so wouldn't fulfil the requirement, unless the disk were replicating at the array level to a second array.

    Triple copies of data could be achieved with hypervisor HA maintaining to in-step copies of the data, and vsnap replication for the third. There is also offload/copy to SP/Object. However it's not going to be synchronous so
