Dell Server and RAID Data Recovery

/ / Data Clinic Ltd

Dell logoDell’s popular Poweredge servers are available in 3 distinct types of model – Tower Servers (all with the letter T in their model name), Rackmount (with the letter R), and Blade (with the letter B). Recently Dell have announced an additional C line of servers, denoting high performance.

Dell servers are capable of running many different levels of RAID including RAID 5, 6, 10 and 50. All Dell systems are built on x86 architecture and use Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors that support Windows and Linux. PowerEdge servers also support VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer hypervisors.

Types of Failure on Dell Servers

Since our inception in 2002 we’ve seen many types of failure on Dell servers. Some of the most common ones include:

  • Dell serversFile & Folder Deletion
  • Problems with the RAID configuration
  • Hard drive failure such as
    • Electronic problems
    • Drives running slowly
    • Drives not coming online
    • Mechanical problems including the “click of death”
  • Virus or Malware Infection
  • Server Blue Screening
  • Fire and Flood Damage
  • Software Problems

Data Clinic’s Dell Data Recovery Services

Data Clinic's Advanced Data Recovery Service

Data Clinic’s clean room hard drive repair service successfully recovers the data from a mechanically damaged server hard drive that another data recovery company had declared unrecoverable.

Data held on any server is typically very important, so it’s imperative that any problems are dealt with correctly to avoid data loss. Dell’s use of RAID topologies makes this task more complicated as the data from each file is distributed across all the disks in a server rather than being held on just one drive. So before each file can be recovered, the server’s RAID configuration has to be correctly worked out before we can begin to piece the data back together.

Because the data held on servers can often be so crucial, it’s not uncommon for people to start to panic if a problem arises and access to their data is lost. If you find yourself in this situation you will find our RAID / Server Failure? – The Top 5 Things to Avoid very useful – it tells you the most important things you should not do and why you shouldn’t do them when your Dell system fails.

Our Dell data recovery service has been in operation since 2002 and covers the whole of the UK. In this time we’ve seen hundreds of Dell servers systems with all sorts of failures. We can nearly always help when things go wrong and we offer 3 different types of data recovery service level –

  • Emergency Service – We recover the data from your Dell server ASAP – usually within hours. This is a 24/7 service and we work continuously until your data is recovered.
  • Priority Service – Your data is recovered within 2-4 working days
  • Standard Service – We recover your data within 5 – 10 working days.

Call us now on 0871 977 2525 if you have a problem with a Dell server. Our regional office locations can be found here.

Whilst Data Clinic were not able to retrieve the data from 1 of the 3 drives I sent to them - they were very easy to work with, accomodated my requests allowing for a very flexible recovery process (I dropped off the drives in person and provided an obscure drive type for the recovered data which they were perfectly happy with). When I asked why the last drive was unrecoverable, they explained with lots of detail, and of course I was not charged for said drive.I've learnt my lesson and hopefully won't ever need a recovery service again, but if I do I know who to go to!

3 years of my lifes' work and photos saved because of the amazing professionals at this company. My iPhone XS Max got stuck in a "boot loop" with a nearly full 512GB of storage. Most of the internet said there was no hope for this Error 14/1110: but Michelle, Elliot, and the team at Data Clinic said otherwise. Amazing friendly personable customer coordination from Michelle including arrangement of emergency service for which I flew into Manchester to the main lab. Elliot was patient, capable, and helped get the job DONE! I now have my phone not only backed up to an SSD for the data itself, but my phone is working as it was, and has updated software to the newest iOS. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the capable professionals who I was able to trust here at Data Clinic. I truly believe this is the best tech service I have ever experienced. Worth every penny and grateful for the invaluable benefit of my memories being restored. THANK YOU! Brian from USA based in Turkey
