Second, you show SVDI being installed and running only in Site1. If Site2 exists to allow continued operations if there is a total site failure at Site1, will you need to also have an SVDI instance running at Site2? To answer this question, you might need to understand exactly what the SVDI system will be doing. If SVDI is part of the technology components that get used when users update their passwords, either for normal updates or for self-service password resets, that would be a pretty critical "need it now" operational requirement to have SVDI be able to run at Site2. Also, keep in mind that SVDI does not really "do its own thinking" - instead SVDI does what other things tell it to do. For example, if SVDI is being used to add, delete, and update LDAP accounts for workforce users, based on updates from the company's HR system, then SVDI is basically following instructions from the HR system: the HR system is acting like "the brain", and SVDI is acting like "the hands". So if it becomes necessary to start using an SVDI instance running Site2, how would the company get its HR system to start making its "instructions" get received by the SVDI instance running at Site2? And this same question would need to apply to any other "thing" that acts like "the brain" and sends instructions to SVDI on what it should do.
