Glasgow is one of Scotland’s most important centres for finance, energy, engineering, and higher education. From multinational banks to renewable energy firms and world-class universities, organisations across the city depend on Windows Server, Linux, VMware, and SQL databases to manage critical operations.

When a server fails, downtime can cost thousands of pounds per hour. With over 15 years of expertise, RecData Glasgow provides professional server data recovery services, trusted by businesses and institutions across Scotland.

Common Server Failures in Glasgow

Our engineers frequently handle:

RAID rebuild failures on production servers.
Multiple disk crashes in RAID 1, 5, or 10 arrays.
Operating system corruption on Windows and Linux servers.
Virtual machine loss in VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox.
Database corruption (SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL).
Accidental deletion or formatting by IT staff.

All recoveries are performed in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring full data security and GDPR compliance.

RAID 1 – Widely Used in Finance and Healthcare

RAID 1 mirroring is common in Glasgow hospitals, banks, and law firms, offering data redundancy but still vulnerable when both disks fail.

Case Study (Glasgow private clinic):
A Windows Server running RAID 1, storing patient medical imaging, failed after both mirrored drives developed read errors. RecData engineers stabilised the drives and recovered 100% of the data within 48 hours, avoiding treatment delays.

RAID 5 – Essential for Universities and Energy Companies

RAID 5 is a popular choice for universities, manufacturers, and energy providers in Glasgow because of its efficiency.

Case Study (Glasgow renewable energy company):
A RAID 5 server with seven disks failed after two drives went offline during a rebuild. The array contained wind turbine performance data. RecData engineers manually rebuilt the RAID, recovering terabytes of operational data and preventing reporting delays for regulators.

Virtualised Server Recovery – VMware & Hyper-V

Virtualisation is vital for Glasgow’s IT providers and financial firms. VMware ESXi and Hyper-V failures can be catastrophic when datastore volumes become corrupted.

Case Study (Glasgow fintech provider):
A VMware ESXi host crashed, losing access to multiple client VMs. RecData rebuilt the VMFS volume and restored all virtual machines, ensuring the company avoided contractual penalties.

Database Servers – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Financial and research institutions in Glasgow rely heavily on SQL and Oracle databases. Even minor corruption can cause major operational issues.

Case Study (University of Glasgow department):
A RAID 10 database server storing research datasets suffered file system corruption after a power outage. RecData engineers repaired the damage and delivered a verified SQL dump, saving months of academic work.
