Marc, what you are saying is anything outside a particular data center 
shouldn’t be part of a cluster?  I’m not sure marketing is in line with this 
then.

Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] NDS in Two Site scenario

Careful! You need to plan and test, test and plan both failure scenarios and 
performance under high network loads.
I don't believe GPFS was designed with the idea of splitting clusters over 
multiple sites.
If your inter-site network runs fast enough, and you can administer it well 
enough -- perhaps it will work well enough...

Hint: Think about the what the words "cluster" and "site" mean.

GPFS does have the AFM feature, which was designed for multi-site deployments.
