Cambridge is internationally recognised for its universities, research institutions, biotech companies, law firms, and startups. These organisations depend heavily on server infrastructures to manage research data, financial records, client documentation, and digital projects. A server failure due to RAID corruption, drive issues, or virtualisation errors can lead to costly downtime, project delays, and data loss.

With more than 15 years of proven experience, RecData provides professional Server Data Recovery in Cambridge, helping organisations regain access to their data securely and efficiently.

Common Server Failures in Cambridge

Our engineers frequently resolve:

RAID rebuild failures in Dell, HP, and IBM systems.
Drive crashes in RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays.
VMware ESXi and Hyper-V datastore corruption.
SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL database issues.
Controller and firmware failures leading to system downtime.

All recovery operations are carried out in ISO-certified clean rooms to guarantee maximum data security.

RAID 1 – Widely Used in Law Firms and Medical Practices

RAID 1 mirroring is common in Cambridge’s law offices and healthcare organisations for its simple redundancy.

Case Study (RAID 1 law firm server):
A law office’s mirrored RAID 1 server experienced simultaneous disk errors, locking staff out of important case files. RecData engineers repaired the drives and successfully restored the documents, allowing the firm to continue serving clients without disruption.

RAID 5 – Common in Biotech and Research Environments

RAID 5 arrays are often deployed in Cambridge’s biotech companies and research groups thanks to their efficiency and fault tolerance.

Case Study (RAID 5 biotech company server):
A biotech startup lost access to experimental datasets when two drives failed mid-rebuild. RecData engineers manually reconstructed the RAID 5 array and restored all project files, ensuring research could proceed without setbacks.

Virtualisation – VMware & Hyper-V

Cambridge startups and research labs increasingly rely on virtualised environments to manage flexible workloads.

Case Study (VMware datastore at a startup):
A technology startup experienced corruption in its VMware datastore after a hardware issue, leaving several VMs inaccessible. RecData rebuilt the datastore and restored all virtual machines, helping the team meet critical deadlines.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Databases are central to many Cambridge-based firms, from financial consultancies to research projects.

Case Study (SQL server in consultancy firm):
A consultancy office faced a controller issue that corrupted its RAID 10 SQL database. RecData engineers successfully recovered all client data, enabling the firm to meet reporting requirements on time.
