Pfizer uses Snowflake Snowgrid to replicate data across regions for collaboration and business continuity.
Pfizer faced data silos between regions and the risk of cloud outages affecting critical data. It deployed Snowgrid across AWS regions in the U.S., Europe, Singapore and Japan, with replication frequency set per business unit. The page says it manages over 1 petabyte of data and hundreds of applications, and can redirect to another region near-instantly during an outage.
