-7. Operator Nexus supports one or two Pure storage appliances. Storage appliances typically reach high levels of availability and data durability; precise numbers vary per vendor and per product. Azure Operator Nexus has redundant connectivity to the storage appliances on the management and data networks. Storage appliances provide storage to workload NFs running on Kubernetes. Workloads running as VMs can either use local storage from the server they're instantiated on, or persistent storage provided by the storage appliance. See [here](./concepts-storage-virtual-machine.md) for further information. Note that, while persistent storage enables migrations of stopped VMs to an alternative BMM when their host BMM is stopped, it does not provide resiliency to unexpected BMM hardware failures. Additionally, there is no support for automatic or manual migration of volumes between storage appliances, and both storage appliances are located in the aggregator rack. This means, from a storage appliance perspective, Nexus deployments with two storage appliances have the same availability characteristics as deployments with one storage appliance: a volume is only ever on one storage appliance.
