A secondary site, regardless of scale was a bad design choice

Agree with Jason on this, I will suggest to review carefully the following
documentation.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SiteAndRoleScale
Currently, we support up to 10,000 clients in the secondary site with “SP2”.
Best Regards,
Santos

Using what technology though? Simply having an additional primary site is
meaningless as far as HA goes – there is no way to move your clients across so
it’s completely useless.
A secondary site is even worse since everything about a secondary site is a
single point of failure.
Square pegs, round holes.

I have seen a couple of designs where the thinking was that having a PRI in
each Datacenter would allow you to continue to run the environment in the event
of a complete Datacenter failure.
I have even seen one where they then (within the Datacenter) scaled out a new
secondary site for every 25,000 clients.
Not my designs I hasten to add

What’s an offsite primary server? Are you talking about a cold-stand-by server

Thanks, Jason and others for the input, and Garth for the laugh ☺, and please
forgive my semantics – I didn’t mean secondary sites (to me if they’re not
primary, they’re secondary. Apologies!).
I think from what I’ve heard from feedback is that our best option moving
forward may be to have an off-site primary server. We currently have an
on-site primary, and want to have a setup where an office being out of
commission (e.g. Hurricane Sandy) doesn’t impact all of our smaller, remote
offices.
Thank you for the feedback!

Nooooooo!
How many clients do you have?
In CM16 you can have 200,000 clients.
What do you expect to see from your new design?

We will be upgrading to SCCM 2016 next year, and I’m trying to figure out an
ideal redundancy setup. At the moment we have one primary and 7 secondary
sites (the secondary sites are just DPs). Does anyone have any ideas for best
practice when it comes to redundancy?
Currently we are thinking an off-site CAS with two primary servers. Do any
common-place rules stand out that I am overlooking?
Thanks in advance,
Charlie
