vCenter linked mode for 4 sites

[SpaceCorp]

Hey all,

I am having trouble trying to work out the best architecture for 4 sites to be in linked mode...

My client has 4 sites

2 sites in AD domain x

2 sites in AD domain y

Both AD domains are in the same forest and have a 2 way trust

The client wants a vCenter in all sites with linked mode between all of them.

Does this require that all vCenter servers are in the same SSO domain?

Do the sites link in a ring as below or more like a mesh?

Yes, all VC has to be in same SSO domain then only you can configure the Linked mode.

Go for the Embedded setup with Mesh topology.

Thanks for the help. Would you suggest enhanced linked mode too?

Linked and Enhanced Linked mode are same.
