Technical Success Brief: Cross-Continental Disaster Recovery
Project Code: K-GLO-DR-03
Vertical: Energy / Critical National Infrastructure (CNI)
Regions Involved: Dammam (KSA) & Lansing, Michigan (USA)
1. The Challenge: Geographic Diversity and Data Integrity
A major industrial energy provider required a Disaster Recovery (DR) site located outside the Middle East to mitigate regional geopolitical risks. The solution needed to support real-time data replication and maintain SSAE-18 audit standards.
2. The Solution: The 10,000 Kilometer Failover
K® implemented an active-passive failover architecture between the client's Dammam site and the Lansing Data Center F.
- Synchronous replication utilized K®'s carrier-grade backbone to ensure data integrity across continents.
- Ownership control was ensured by K®'s ownership of the US facility, guaranteeing that client hardware would not be moved or accessed by unauthorized third-party vendors.
3. The Fortress Result
- Zero data loss was achieved. During a planned regional network drill, the failover to Michigan was executed with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of zero.
- Global compliance was demonstrated as the setup successfully passed an integrated audit for both Saudi NCA-ECC and US SSAE-18 standards.
Final Fortification Strategy
The three briefs AI, Fintech, and Disaster Recovery collectively establish a technical portfolio that demonstrates the following:
- AI capability, as exemplified by the Lansing project
- Financial precision, demonstrated through the West Sussex initiative
- National security resilience, represented by the Saudi-US Bridge collaboration
