How does Nimble handle replication? Does replication rely on snapshots? Can you have a cluster of two Nimbles (one primary, one in a secondary site), replicate between them, and then vMotion between hosts attached to those local storage arrays on each side? (true live vMotion, not a crash recovery HA or something facilitated through SRM)
Also was reading one of their documents in regards to snapshots and it suggested only performing so many snapshots at once since it sends a snapshot request to vSphere and a quiesce request to the VSS writer. Performing too many at once can cause "extensive interruption of service" due to so many snapshots being created at once. How many is too many? If I was wanting to replicate 400 VM guests and have a 5 minute or even a 1 minute or less consistancy delta between Nimble arrays, is it even possible?
