Network Architecture Overview

Ethernet networks provide pathways for communications between two physical machines (PMs) in an everRun system. The main types of Ethernet networks are:

• Availability Link networks, or A-Link networks, are assigned to virtual machines (VMs) and are used to synchronize data or migrate VMs between two PMs. One A-Link network must be a private network, which connects the two everRun PMs. See A‑Link and Private Networks.
• Business networks allow your applications to connect to your network. One business network must be a management network, which connects to the everRun Availability Console and is used by the quorum servers. See Business and Management Networks.

An everRun system must have a minimum of one private network and one management network per PM.
