Availability / 2 Windows failover clusters across boxes

Hi,

I have a Lab containing:

2 Hosts

2 SQL VMs (1 VM per Hots)

2 Domain controllers (1 DC per host)

I created a Windows Failover Cluster with those 2 SQL VMs to install SQL Availability Group.

As witness,  and cause SQL AG don't need shared storage, I created a shared folder. This folder is located in the 1st DC.

Now, I'm imagining disaster scenario: 1st DC fails. The witness folder will not be available, so SQL AG will not work correctly.

I think about creating a second windows failover with 2 DCs with a kind of shared storage between two hosts. Is there a technical solution for this?

Thank you.
