<title>Multi-site</title>
<para>A multi-site OpenStack environment is one in which services,
located in more than one data center, are used to provide the
overall solution. Usage requirements of different multi-site
clouds may vary widely, but they share some common needs.
OpenStack is capable of running in a multi-region
configuration. This enables some parts of OpenStack to
effectively manage a group of sites as a single cloud. With
careful planning in the design phase, OpenStack can act as an
excellent multi-site cloud solution for a multitude of
needs.</para>
<para>Some use cases that might indicate a need for a multi-site
deployment of OpenStack include:</para>
