A SAN (Storage Area Network) is the backbone of many enterprise IT infrastructures, hosting databases, VMs, ERP systems, and mission-critical applications. When a SAN fails, the consequences can be catastrophic: service interruptions, corrupted databases, inaccessible virtual machines, and heavy financial impact.

At RecData, we deliver advanced SAN data recovery services for enterprises across the UK, leveraging our expertise in multi-disk, multi-RAID and clustered environments.

Why SAN Systems Fail

Despite redundancy and enterprise-grade design, SAN systems are vulnerable to data loss. Common causes include:

Multiple disk failures in RAID groups
Controller or firmware corruption (EMC, NetApp, Dell EqualLogic, HPE 3PAR, IBM Storwize, Hitachi, etc.)
Logical corruption in LUNs, partitions, or volumes
File system corruption (VMFS, NTFS, ext4, XFS, ZFS) on hosted VMs/databases
Switch or fabric errors in Fibre Channel or iSCSI environments
Accidental LUN deletion or misconfiguration
Ransomware attacks targeting SAN-hosted environments
Power surges or outages leading to corrupted metadata

DIY recovery attempts can easily make SAN environments unrecoverable. Professional intervention ensures data consistency and availability.
