of virtual machines. An uneven total number of nodes ensures that the cluster can reach a quorum (majority) for decision-making and allows one computing node to be taken offline for maintenance without losing redundancy. A very different, lean setup was chosen to run webservices for the Synology website. Three FS series compute nodes in an all-flash configuration each fulfil both computing and storage roles for various VMs. The minimum recommended number of three nodes provides a measure of redundancy, while recovery demands are met by having each node replicate its data to one other node.
