About this tag
The windows failover clustering tag currently includes a case study on disaster recovery for S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Capital IQ platform. The design uses Amazon Web Services across regions, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, SnapMirror snapshots, and FlexClone volumes to provide a read-only SQL Server environment in the US-West-2 region within 15 minutes. Rather than treating recovery as an all-or-nothing event, the architecture separates continuity of access from full read-write restoration. This tagged discussion is useful for readers exploring recovery planning, cloud-based infrastructure, SQL Server availability, and practical ways to provide limited service during a major disruption.
