High-end HP Proliant, Integrity, 9000, and Alpha servers can have a wide variety of RAID configurations, but most Proliant Servers are setup as a stripe set with parity (RAID 5). The default for the RAID stripe is 64k (128 sectors). The data is striped across all the disks, and a parity block rotates between drives. This way if one disk fails, the RAID card can default to degraded mode and run without interruption. A problem arises when there is corruption within some essential parity blocks, or simply more than one drive fails at about the same time, not giving the IT professional enough time to replace the first failed drive. This results in a failed RAID volume.

Our certified RAID data recovery Engineers are familiar with the entire family of HP Servers, including Proliant, Integrity, Non-stop, HP9000, and even Alpha servers. Our Engineers have a century of combined experience behind them. There are few situations in which hard disk data recovery is not possible. The only exception is when the drives have been rebuilt in the wrong configuration. In this case, overwriting may have occurred making data recovery impossible.

Our Engineers have the expertise to recover data at both a hardware and software level, sometimes writing custom software on the fly to fit your recovery situation. In many cases, our data recovery specialists will remove the platters from a failed drive, create a clone of this drive using custom equipment, and then recreate your original volume from this clones and the good drives.

We Recover Data From :

HP ProLiant

• HP ProLiant DL • HP ProLiant ML • HP ProLiant BL Blades • HP ProLiant SL • HP ProLiant Micro Server

• HP Integrity Superdome Servers • HP Integrity Server blades • HP Integrity Rack Servers • HP NonStop Servers • HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem • HP Integrity NonStop Servers

Since 2003, HP has been the industry-leading server manufacturer; shipping more servers worldwide than any other RAID server manufacturer. The Hewlett Packard server system has been designed with quality and reliability in mind, and generally provides users with fault free operation for a number of years.

However, as with all forms of technology, these systems can fail due to mechanical or logical faults. Over the past 15 years we have earned a reputation for providing high quality data recovery services on a wide range of HP servers.

Common failures our engineers encounter with HP RAIDs include: mechanical failure with one or more hard drives, RAID failure, accidental formatting of the RAID hard drives, corrupt boot loaders etc.

We have industry leading technology to recover data from all versions of HP RAID servers, providing complete data recovery in the shortest possible time frame, for more information contact us.
