Cloud Migration for High-Availability SQL Server Infrastructure Supporting Regulatory Compliance

The client requires a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud infrastructure to migrate their existing SQL Server environment. They need to ensure high availability across multiple regions to meet regional regulatory requirements and minimize application downtime, especially in new markets such as Canada. Existing infrastructure in multiple data centers lacks the agility and resilience required for business expansion and regulatory compliance.

A medium to large financial services organization providing extended warranty and F&I administration platforms, seeking scalable, compliant cloud infrastructure to support market expansion.

• Enable scalable and secure cloud-based SQL Server deployment to support business growth.
• Implement a high-availability architecture across multiple regions to ensure continuous application availability and disaster recovery capabilities.
• Streamline deployment processes for faster go-to-market timeline in new geographic regions.
• Enhance monitoring, security, and compliance controls over the cloud environment.
• Support regulatory adherence by designing infrastructure aligned with regional legal and regulatory standards.

• Multi-region deployment architecture supporting active-active or failover modes for disaster recovery.
• Integration with identity management systems for secure authentication and authorization.
• Automated backup, recovery, and disaster recovery processes.
• Real-time monitoring dashboards for performance, security, and compliance metrics.
• Automated deployment pipelines for rapid provisioning and updates.

• External identity management systems for secure login.
• Monitoring tools for performance and security analytics.
• Scheduled backup and recovery systems.
• Regulatory compliance monitoring tools.

• System must support high availability across at least two geographic regions with failover capabilities.
• Performance SLA: 99.9% uptime with minimal latency in data replication.
• Data security compliant with regional regulations, including encryption at rest and in transit.
• Scalability to handle increasing transaction volumes without performance degradation.
• Automated alerting and monitoring for system health and security incidents.

By migrating to a cloud environment with high-availability configurations, the client aims to achieve increased application uptime, support faster deployment of new features, and ensure compliance with regional regulations. This will enable the client to expand into new markets seamlessly, improve monitoring and security posture, and reduce downtime risk, ultimately leading to enhanced customer satisfaction and operational resilience.
