What this post added

This post details S&P Global Market Intelligence's implementation of a disaster recovery solution for their Capital IQ platform using Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. It describes a two-pronged approach: immediate failover to a read-only DR environment within 15 minutes using ONTAP snapshots and FlexClone, and a subsequent process for full read-write recovery. The solution utilizes SnapMirror replication with 15-minute intervals for cross-region data replication and highlights the technical steps for creating and presenting FlexClone volumes for rapid recovery, as well as the orchestrated steps for full read-write failover.
