Abstract

In a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied therein that when executed cause a computer system to perform a method of sharing information between pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices over a wide area network via a distributed peer-to-peer protocol. The method includes automatically discovering pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices in a local area network, and sharing information between pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices over a wide area network via a distributed peer-to-peer protocol such that there is no single point of failure for the sharing information between the pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices over the wide area network.
