RAID Data Recovery / NAS, SAN and Server Data Recovery - SalvageData
RAID and other enterprise server environments have a high degree of fault tolerance. However, even the most well designed systems are susceptible to malfunctions and RAID systems can hardly be an exception to this rule. There's a litany of reasons that can cause a RAID system failure. Sometimes power fluctuation, software, hardware problems (disk controller malfunctions) or even human error are the cause leading to the need for RAID data recovery.
Unfortunately when a business RAID, NAS or SANs storage server system first fails, it can be the first signs of an unfolding catastrophe. The damage and loss caused by such failures are not only disruptive to productivity, but the downtime and outage can also often have astronomical financial consequences if not quickly remedied. At SalvageData our dedicated RAID data recovery team understand this and have helped many small, medium and large enterprise businesses dealing with data loss resulting from various types of RAID and network storage server media failure outages.
Our in-lab RAID Data Recovery service and critical server response team of professionals can quickly assess the situation and provide instant access to experts for advice and guidance on how to best address the specific RAID data loss situation. Once in possession of the server or RAID disk set, we can quickly make the necessary arrangement at our facilities to salvage and recover your data in order to reduce organizational downtime.
Our highly skilled team of RAID data recovery professionals can handle the most challenging of RAID recovery scenarios. We can recover data from all types of file servers, application servers, web servers, direct-network attached RAID storage devices, and SAN system failures.
Commonly used Server RAID Configurations:
SalvageData supports and performs RAID data recovery for all RAID server makes and types, including the most widely used RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 5 configurations.
| RAID 0 |
|
RAID O uses what is called a data striping technique. Multiple hard drives are combined into one large volume. Because it splits the data and accesses both drives in parallel, RAID O reads and writes faster than a non-RAID configuration. RAID 0 doesn't offer data redundancy and requires a minimum of two hard drives to be totally restored as a requirement for completing a successful RAID recovery. Note: In order to have the best possible chance at performing a successful RAID0 recovery, we often require all drives that were part of the original array at the time of failure. |
| RAID 1 |
| RAID 1 mirrors, or copies the content of one drive onto another twin drive. If one of your drives should fail, mirroring guarantees optimal data integrity and instant access to your data. Another advantage of RAID 1 is that it allows you to use just 50 percent of your NAS device's available capacity. A requirement for RAID 1 is a minimum of two hard drives and when using more there must be an even number of them. The advantage of this type of RAID configuration is that recovery takes less time, resources and tools - assuming that the mirrors function correctly when the failure occurred. |
| RAID 5 |
|
RAID 5 offers the best mix of data backup, capacity and performance. RAID 5 strips all available drives into a single large volume space equal to one of its hard drives and is used to store parity data. If correctly configured, when one hard drive fails, it will use the parity data to rebuild your data. RAID needs a minimum of 3 hard drives. Another backup option RAID 5 offers is hot spare. This reserves an additional hard drive that takes over immediately if another drive fails. Total RAID capacity is calculated by subtracting the space of two drives from the sum of all the hard drives. If you want to use hot spare with RAID 5, you must have a minimum of 4 hard drives. Note: In order to have the best possible chance at performing a successful RAID5 recovery, we often require all drives that were part of the original array at the time of failure. |
