Are You Looking For Raid Recovery? It is Available in India

Invention of RAID has given industries a new boost with high data storage capacity. RAID is a technology of the recent time, through which you can build a fault tolerant system taking together multiple number of hard disk drives. In case of a RAID system, data is distributed across different hard drives in a particular pattern and the whole process of storing and accessing data in a RAID system is managed by the controller chip. In spite of the fault tolerant mechanisms, the RAID system undergo serious cases of data loss. Moreover, due to their peculiar data distribution pattern and complex storage architecture, the RAID recovery process is indeed very much complicated.

In RAID, there are various levels, with respect to the data distribution pattern and the fault tolerant mechanism. RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 are considered as the simple RAID levels, where as RAID 50, RAID 6, RAID 6EE etc. are considered as the complex ones. In systems with RAID level 5 or above, if there is a single hard disk failure, you can restore the data by the 'REBUILD' operation. Rebuilding can be easily done by replacing the damaged drive with a new healthy one. The problem gets really critical, if there is a simultaneous failure of multiple hard drives.

During such a critical condition of RAID failure, if you make a single mistake, you may loose all your data from the drives. Hence, it is always advised to take the help of any professional RAID recovery service provider for the safe recovery of your precious data.

There are many possible cases, in which the RAID system may fail resulting in the loss/inaccessibility of data. Following are the list of such reasons:

  • RAID controller failure
  • Damaged strip
  • The RAID configuration has been badly damaged
  • Rebuild failure
  • Malfunctioning of the operating system
  • Simultaneous failure of multiple hard disks in the RAID array
  • Any other hardware/software contradiction etc.

Under all the above instances of RAID failure, you must be careful in dealing with the troubled drives. Moreover, once after encountering any instance of RAID failure, remember to note down every RAID data recovery process, you follow to trouble shoot.

Don't experiment, opt for professional RAID data recovery services for safe recovery

Among many recent years' inventions, RAID is an innovative technique to enhance data storage efficiency. In RAID, data is stored in multiple low cost hard drives and the entire set of hard disk drives work as a single system. The RAID controller manages the distribution of data in different attached drives. RAID is designed as a fault tolerant system, but, because of the complex internal structure, any small instance of data loss in RAID can be extremely critical. Under such a situation of RAID failure, it is always wise to opt for any professional data recovery services, rather risking your valuable data through experimentation.

In case of RAID systems with RAID level 5 or above, if one disk fails or goes offline, it can be sorted out by replacing the same with a healthy hard disk. But, if more than one disk fails at the same time, it can be dangerous to the data and a small mistake can cause permanent data loss. Therefore, it is better to consult any experienced RAID data recovery expert immediately.

There is a long list of possible reasons for which your RAID system can fail at any moment. Some of the mostly encountered ones are listed as below:
  • Damaged strip
  • RAID array failure
  • RAID controller failure
  • Rebuild failure
  • Over written or damaged RAID configuration
  • Server has failed to boot
  • Operating system malfunction
  • Physically damaged multiple hard drives in the RAID array
  • Software/hardware failure etc.
Under any of the above instances of RAID failure, your precious data in the hard drives seem to be lost or inaccessible. But, if you prevent the drives against any further damage, there is always an ample chance of recovering the data back.

You must always remember that RAID recovery is a specialized scientific process and needs high degree of expertise. Moreover, the process needed sophisticated hard disk recovery technology and sterile lab environment of CLASS 100 Clean Room. For all these reasons, you must hand over the job to some experienced RAID recovery service provider.

For more than 17 years, Stellar Data Recovery is a reliable name in the field of innovative data recovery and data protection services in India. Stellar for its in-house research, skilled professionals, state of the art infrastructure of CLASS 100 Clean Room labs and efficient RAID recovery techniques, has been the most trusted RAID data recovery service provider among millions of satisfied customers across the globe.

Data recovery services in India

Data recovery is a technology of the recent time to dig into the troubled storage media and retrieve back the data safely. Few years back, once the data from the media is deleted or if the storage device got inaccessible, there was no means to get those lost data back. Now the same is quite possible. The data recovery technique and the recovery process depends upon the type of data loss, system configuration and the recovery steps taken by you in haste. As, the troubled media carries all your precious data, it is always safe to take the help of any professional data recovery service provider for safe recovery without any further chance of data loss.

Loss of data can be of two types: Logical data loss and Physical data loss. Logical data loss situations include the accidental deletion, file system corruption, operating system crash, any loss/inaccessibility of data due to application malfunction etc. Similarly, the physical data loss situation can be the mechanical, electrical or firmware failure of the hard drive, controller failure of RAID, RAID configuration damage, damage to the media because of any natural disaster etc.

In case of logical data loss, you can use recovery software to locate the lost data in the drives and retrieve them back. But, in case of physical data loss, you may not even be able to run the recovery software. In such cases, first you have to repair the media to a workable condition and then perform the recovery operation. Any process of data recovery form physical failure, whether that is RAID data recovery services or normal hard disk recovery, is a systematic scientific process and needs heavy expertise. Therefore, you must always opt for any experienced data recovery service provider to recover the data safely.

In the mean time, after encountering any instance of data loss, you must be extremely careful in safe-guarding the media by avoiding any unwanted experimentation. Apart from this, it is always said that the first recovery attempt has the maximum chance of recovering maximum amount of the data. Hence, you must choose the data recovery provider with utmost care.

Stellar Data Recovery is one of highly appreciated data recovery service provider in India. Stellar with more than 17 years of data recovery experience, indigenous tools, techniques, in-house research team, skilled recovery engineers and world class infrastructure of CLASS 100 Clean Rooms, provides the most scientific recovery process under any instance of data loss.
