Disaster Recovery Solutions for Financial Security

This document is a case study that outlines the disaster recovery solutions implemented for a top 3 US bank, which is a leading multinational investment bank and financial services company. The organization faced challenges in meeting their established service level agreement (SLA) for recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) due to their current on-premises Cloudera CDP cluster setup. To address these challenges, the bank required a solution capable of real-time data replication to handle over one million transactions per minute. The case study details the selection of IBM Big Replicate, utilizing Cirata LiveData Migrator (LDM) for continuous data replication without impacting existing systems. The document also discusses the evaluation of alternative solutions, which were found inadequate due to their batch processing nature. Key factors in the decision included ease of use, rapid deployment, and the ability to replicate both Hadoop data and Hive metadata effectively.
