vCenter 7.0 placement strategy for a multi-site topology

Hi,

I'm after some guidance on a placement strategy for vCenter for a small but geographically sparse multi-site topology (vSphere 7.0)

  • Each datacenter has <10 hosts (clustered, with HA)
  • 4 datacenters
    • 2 in US (10G inter-site connectivity)
    • 1 in UK
    • 1 in Hong Kong

Would you:
A). Deploy a vCSA in every datacenter and configure them all in Enhanced Linked Mode
B). Deploy one vCSA per region, e.g. so one vCSA would manage both US sites
C). Deploy one vCSA to manage all datacenters globally?

What are the pros/cons on each? What's supported/recommended by VMware?

Many thanks
