- Have a fully configured Azure VMware solution private cloud in a [region that Elastic SAN is available in](../storage/elastic-san/elastic-san-create.md).

- Ensure that your ExpressRoute gateways are sized to handle your elastic SAN's bandwidth capabilities. For example, a single ultra performance ExpressRoute gateway supports a bandwidth of 1,280 mbps. If you're using an individual elastic SAN datastore to its full potential, it'll consume the entirety of that bandwidth. Multiple gateways may be required depending on your needs.

Use multiple private endpoints to establish multiple sessions between an Elastic SAN and each volume group you intend to connect to your software defined data center (SDDC). Having multiple sessions provides better performance due to parallelization, and better reliability to handle single session disconnects from unexpected factors. When you establish multiple sessions, it also mitigates the impact of session disconnects, as long as the connection is re-established within a few seconds, your other sessions help load-balance traffic.
