How to deploy SPS joined to SPP in a DR environment?

Question

Hi guys, 
 Say a customer has 2 data centers (HQ and DR). A 3-node SPP can be deployed as 2xSPP in HQ and 1xSPP in DR, this achieves high availability as well as DR failover for SPP. 
 If SPS needs to be joined and is also required to handle DR failover, what is the best way to deploy SPS in this setup? Does anyone have any references on how other customers deploy it? 
 
 Thanks.

Key thing to understand here is that the virtual SPS appliance is a completely stand alone unit that is not Hypervisor aware in any way. 
 So all HA functionality has to be provided totally by the Hypervisor. This means that you need to make use of the shadow/clone/mirror and management features of the hypervisor to provide HA for each SPS appliance you deploy. 
 This also means that extra resources have to be provided on the Hypervisor to accommodate the HA functionality you wish to configure/provide. 
 This is therefore a discussion to have with the teams who support the virtual environment.
