SAN STORAGE RECOVERY

SAN (Storage Area Network) recovery is the highest tier of data rescue. Unlike a NAS, which operates at the file level, a SAN provides block-level storage, usually for critical database servers, virtual machine clusters (VMware/Hyper-V), and large-scale enterprise environments.

When a SAN goes down, it’s not just "files" that are missing—entire servers and infrastructures disappear.

Enterprise SAN & Fibre Channel Recovery

Critical Data Rescue for High-Availability Systems

We provide emergency data recovery for complex SAN architectures. Whether your failure is due to multiple drive crashes, metadata corruption, or a failed firmware update, our engineers have the expertise to reconstruct your LUNs and restore your business continuity.

SAN Systems We Service

We support high-end storage arrays from all major vendors:

• Dell EMC: PowerStore, Unity, SC Series (Compellent), and Isilon.

• NetApp: FAS Series, AFF, and ONTAP systems.

• HPE: 3PAR StoreServ, Nimble Storage, and MSA.

• IBM: FlashSystem, DS8000, and Storwize.

• Pure Storage: FlashArray and FlashBlade.

Complex Failure Scenarios

• LUN Corruption: The Logical Unit Number (LUN) becomes inaccessible, often due to snapshot or metadata errors.

• Virtualization Failures: Deleted or corrupted VMFS (VMware) or VHDX (Hyper-V) files within the SAN.

• Controller Failure: Both controllers in a high-availability pair fail or lose synchronization.

• Multiple Disk Loss: Catastrophic failure exceeding the RAID parity (e.g., three drives failing in a RAID 6).

• Fibre Channel / iSCSI Connectivity: Structural issues in the fabric or zoning that lead to volume "ghosting."

Our Advanced SAN Recovery Process

1. On-Site or Remote Evaluation: For large SANs, we offer remote diagnostics or secure on-site arrival to assess the hardware.

2. Low-Level Image Extraction: We clone all physical disks involved in the tiering or pool, bypassing failed controllers where necessary.

3. Tiering & RAID Reconstruction: We manually reconstruct the "striped" data across multiple tiers (SSD + HDD) and RAID sets.

4. Virtual Volume Extraction: We extract the raw data from within the virtualized layers, ensuring databases (SQL, Oracle) and VM images are consistent and bootable.

Why Choose Our Enterprise Team?

• 24/7 Emergency Response: We know that every hour of SAN downtime costs thousands. We work around the clock until your data is back.

• Deep File System Knowledge: Expertise in VMFS, VMDK, ZFS, and proprietary SAN operating systems.

• Security & Compliance: We adhere to strict data privacy protocols, ensuring your sensitive corporate data remains confidential.

• No Data, No Fee: Our performance-based guarantee applies even to enterprise-level recoveries.

Immediate Action for SAN Failure

• Cease All "Force Online" Attempts: Forcing a failed RAID or LUN back online can cause massive data corruption.

• Do Not Re-Initialize: Never attempt to "re-discover" or re-format the LUN from the server side.

• Label Everything: If pulling drives, ensure they are labeled according to their exact slot and enclosure.
