Re: What about a vmware vsan 3 or 4 node stretched cluster direct connection ?

I can see what you are getting at, but lets look at this from the perspective of data-protection, a 3 node VSAN can only utilize Mirroring as its data-protection method, 4 nodes are greater is required for erasure coding.  this mean a guaranteed loss of resiliency on loss of a site.  effectively 3 single points of failure in your design. 

 

this may be acceptable for a test and development environment, but never above.

 

I would consider separate VSAN nodes on each site and use VDP to manage off-site replicas.  rather than run a high risk of such data loss.

 

This should be possible however there may be a license limitation if using Essential Plus.
