Leicester, at the heart of the East Midlands, is a thriving hub for logistics, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and higher education. Servers are essential to these industries, ensuring the smooth running of supply chains, medical systems, financial transactions, and research databases. When a server fails—due to RAID issues, disk crashes, or virtualisation errors—the consequences can be immediate and costly.

With more than 15 years of experience, RecData delivers professional Server Data Recovery in Leicester, supporting both SMEs and large institutions with fast and secure recovery solutions.

Common Server Failures in Leicester

Our specialists regularly assist with:

RAID rebuild failures in Dell, HP, and IBM servers.
Multiple drive crashes in RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays.
Corrupted VMware ESXi and Hyper-V datastores.
Database corruption in SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
Controller or firmware failures disrupting access.

Every recovery is carried out in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring maximum safety for critical data.

RAID 1 – Essential for Healthcare and Legal Sectors

Leicester’s hospitals, clinics, and law firms often rely on RAID 1 mirroring for redundancy and resilience.

Case Study (Private hospital):
A RAID 1 server storing patient records became unreadable after both mirrored drives failed due to simultaneous degradation. RecData stabilised the disks and recovered the full database, restoring access to critical healthcare information.

RAID 5 – Widely Used in Logistics and Manufacturing

RAID 5 arrays are common in Leicester’s logistics and manufacturing companies, thanks to their balance of performance and capacity.

Case Study (Leicester logistics provider):
A Dell PowerEdge R740 RAID 5 server failed after two disks dropped during a rebuild, leaving shipment and inventory data inaccessible. RecData manually reconstructed the RAID and recovered the entire dataset, allowing operations to continue smoothly.

Virtualisation – VMware & Hyper-V

Leicester’s universities and growing tech sector depend heavily on virtualised infrastructures.

Case Study (University research team):
A VMware ESXi datastore corruption affected several research environments after a sudden power outage. RecData engineers rebuilt the datastore and restored all affected VMs, safeguarding years of academic research.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Databases are central to healthcare, retail, and education in Leicester.

Case Study (Leicester retail company):
A RAID 10 Microsoft SQL Server failed due to a controller issue, leaving transaction data at risk. RecData recovered the database and ensured the company’s reporting systems were back online within hours.
