Aberdeen, often called the energy capital of Europe, is a key centre for oil & gas, renewable energy, higher education, and financial services. These industries depend on highly available server infrastructures to handle operational data, research, compliance records, and real-time analytics. A server failure—caused by RAID issues, drive crashes, or virtualisation errors—can result in costly downtime, loss of productivity, or even regulatory penalties.

With more than 15 years of experience, RecData provides trusted Server Data Recovery in Aberdeen, helping businesses and institutions across the North East of Scotland to quickly and securely recover critical data.

Common Server Failures in Aberdeen

Our engineers regularly deal with:

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

All recovery work is carried out in ISO-certified clean rooms, ensuring maximum data integrity and security.

RAID 1 – Used in Finance and Healthcare

RAID 1 mirroring is common in Aberdeen’s financial services firms and healthcare organisations, where data reliability is essential.

Case Study (Aberdeen private clinic):
A RAID 1 HP ProLiant server containing patient imaging data failed after both mirrored drives developed read errors. RecData engineers repaired the drives and successfully recovered the full database, allowing the clinic to continue operating without service disruption.

RAID 5 – Critical for Energy and Oil & Gas

RAID 5 arrays are widely used in Aberdeen’s oil & gas and energy companies, balancing capacity and performance.

Case Study (Aberdeen energy supplier):
A Dell PowerEdge R740 RAID 5 server used for real-time drilling data failed after two disks went offline during a rebuild. RecData engineers manually rebuilt the array, restoring terabytes of operational data vital for ongoing offshore operations.

Virtualisation – VMware & Hyper-V

Many Aberdeen companies rely on virtualised environments to support complex IT infrastructures and reduce costs.

Case Study (Aberdeen financial services firm):
A VMware ESXi datastore became corrupted after a sudden hardware fault, leaving multiple client VMs inaccessible. RecData rebuilt the datastore and restored the VMs, ensuring minimal downtime for critical financial services.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Databases are at the core of Aberdeen’s research and corporate ecosystems.

Case Study (research project):
A RAID 10 Oracle database server failed after a controller issue, putting years of research data at risk. RecData engineers rebuilt the dataset and restored all records, ensuring the continuity of important academic work.
