Implementation of comprehensive multi-region disaster recovery solution with automated failover and data replication for a financial services institution.
A major financial services institution needed a robust disaster recovery solution to ensure business continuity and meet regulatory compliance requirements for data protection.
Their existing backup systems were inadequate for their scale and couldn't guarantee the required recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO).
Deployed database clusters across three AWS regions with automated cross-region replication and failover capabilities.
Implemented synchronous and asynchronous replication strategies to maintain data consistency across all regions.
Created intelligent failover automation with health monitoring and automatic traffic routing to healthy regions.
Ensured all disaster recovery processes meet SOX, PCI DSS, and other financial regulatory requirements.
Achieved 99.99% system availability with automated failover completing in under 5 minutes during testing.
Met all regulatory requirements with comprehensive audit trails and data protection measures across all regions.
Eliminated single points of failure and ensured continuous operations even during major regional outages.
Reduced disaster recovery costs by 40% through intelligent resource allocation and automated scaling.
