It is important to note that the classic architecture for disaster recovery will be phased out, so users should make sure to switch to the latest and modernized version. The following table provides a comparison of the two architectures to help you choose the right option for securing your machines in the event of a disaster.
|Multiple setups required for discovering on-premises data.|**Central discovery** of on-premises data center using discovery service.|
