Oxford is known worldwide for its universities, research institutions, healthcare providers, and professional firms. These organisations rely heavily on server infrastructures to store and manage critical data—from research archives and financial records to legal documents and patient files. When a server failure occurs due to RAID corruption, drive failure, or virtualisation issues, it can disrupt both day-to-day operations and long-term projects.

With over 15 years of experience, RecData provides trusted Server Data Recovery in Oxford, supporting businesses, academic groups, and professional firms with secure and efficient solutions.

Common Server Failures in Oxford

RecData engineers are often called to resolve:

RAID rebuild failures in Dell, HP, and IBM systems.
Multiple drive failures in RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays.
Corrupted VMware ESXi and Hyper-V environments.
SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL database corruption.
Controller and firmware errors causing downtime.

All work is performed in ISO-certified clean rooms, guaranteeing the highest level of data integrity.

RAID 1 – Reliable for Law Firms and Consultancies

RAID 1 arrays are popular with law firms, consultancies, and healthcare practices in Oxford due to their simple redundancy.

Case Study (RAID 1 law firm server):
A mirrored RAID 1 server experienced mechanical issues on both drives simultaneously. RecData engineers repaired the storage media and fully restored sensitive legal documents, allowing the firm to resume work without client disruption.

RAID 5 – Widely Used in Research and Business

RAID 5 configurations are common in Oxford’s research centres and medium-sized businesses. They provide balance between performance and capacity but can fail during rebuilds.

Case Study (RAID 5 research office):
A research group’s RAID 5 server failed after two drives dropped offline mid-rebuild, making vital project data inaccessible. RecData manually reconstructed the array and successfully restored all files, ensuring ongoing project continuity.

Virtualisation – VMware & Hyper-V

Many startups and academic departments in Oxford rely on virtualised infrastructures to manage workloads efficiently.

Case Study (startup virtual environment):
A startup in Oxford lost access to its development VMs after a VMware datastore corruption. RecData engineers rebuilt the datastore and recovered the virtual machines, allowing the team to meet critical delivery deadlines.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Databases are at the centre of Oxford’s professional services and research environments.

Case Study (accountancy SQL server):
An accountancy office faced corruption of its RAID 10 SQL server database after a controller malfunction. RecData recovered the full dataset, ensuring uninterrupted access to financial records.
