Data Recovery and RAID Data Recovery in Kansas City and Phoenix

Data recovery problems are never easy.  They’re always time-consuming, very delicate and can be rather expensive too.  Because the world is so closely linked digitally data recovery problems can occur in two different locations (for example….Kansas City and Phoenix), both part of the same network, at the same time.

Data recovery issues always require the services of a specialist but some problems are more complex than others.  Just like tech support call centers have Level 1, 2, 3 and sometimes even Level 4 support specialists, so does data recovery have specialists depending upon whether its basic data recovery or data recovery in the more complex RAID systems (Random Array Independent Disks) used by some companies (e.g. in Kansas City or Phoenix).

Sometimes data isn’t totally lost but rather just becomes inaccessible for some reason.  These are situations that always come to the great relief of the customer.  Specialists usually can tell how difficult the problem will be to solve within the first few minutes of being ‘on’ the problem.

To some degree the expense of solving the problem will depend upon what type of systems and software your systems are based upon.  The specialist can only work within the parameters of your system and resources.

Nevertheless, there’s a lot of skill that goes into recovering data in both basic memory systems and RAID systems.  The RAID technology has had several updates and now exists as RAID 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.  Each higher level is generally more complex and more difficult to trouble-shoot and perform data recovery processes on.

The advantage of RAID systems is basically they have more redundancy but one of the intrinsic problems with them is that, because they are built at the same time as one unit, it’s more likely that the drives will wear out at the same time.  This is why larger RAID systems are favored….i.e. although they are more expensive to purchase, maintain and repair, at least they have more storage capacity and margin for load-sharing and recovery amongst the various hard drives.

Anytime you have a business operation that uses large amounts of data on a continuously operating basis it’s very important to have data backup and data recovery procedures already in place in the effect they’re needed.  Whether it’s data recovery Kansas City or RAID data recovery Phoenix, qualified help is available.

Memphis Data Recovery Issues


Data recoveryissues are pretty much the same wherever you go.  Whether you’re in need of Memphis Data Recovery services,  or Milwaukee Data Recovery Services, or anywhere else, data recovery  issues and problems are one of those things that it’s easy to hope and think will never happen to you but sooner or later….they usually do.

Data recovery problems can be due to simple human error or they can be due to actual malicious intent.  The human error problems are pretty well solvable by better training and or supervision but the malicious intent…..that’s a little harder to control.  Luckily it’s not the most common cause of most data recovery problems….in Memphis or Milwaukee.

The innocent-error side of data recovery problems can be lessened significantly by more careful screening of those personnel you give access to sensitive data.  In the military they call it ‘need to know’.

When determining who you allow access to sensitive data, or data processing equipment, the most obvious thing to do is carefully check their competency on that equipment and/or with that software before you let them start to work.
It is remotely possible that you might be the victim of some sort of industrial espionage, in which case the issue would not be the perpetrator’s competence but rather their purpose.  Still, this isn’t a likely scenario unless you’re a larger company.  For the average small to medium size business it’s not as likely.

Malicious intent (which in most cases would also qualify as criminal intent because valuable property is at stake, right?) could also be a matter of degree.  An example of that would be an employee who wasn’t interested in outright financial gain but simply in ‘getting even’.  It could happen.

The bottom line for both these scenarios is just to keep careful control of your data, its processes and its storage.  Never take ongoing operations as a foregone conclusion.  Monitor everything and back-up everything.

The good news is that data that you think is lost often isn’t lost if you know where to look for it.  That’s where the services of a qualified Memphis or Milwaukee data recovery company or specialist become most valuable.

You should seek out and develop an ongoing relationship with a data recovery  specialist in your local community, whether you are in Memphis or Milwaukee or elsewhere.  You’ll find that they’ll be able to help you with preventative measure too and that’s really the least expensive way to handle data recovery issues.  A few dollars to set up preventative systems are a lot cheaper than hundreds or even thousands of dollars to retrieve lost data.

Hard Drive Data Recovery

Don’t think it can’t happen to you?
Everybody who gets a computer goes through it.  They get their computer, it’s all nice and new, everything works, they go along enjoying their cool new digital lifestyle, adding data here and data there, some of it important, some not…..

Then one day…..
What’s this?!!
What’s this strange message…this blue screen??!!  What is this message telling me, “Windows cannot find…….?”
In a perfect world, you’d never need ‘data recovery’ or ‘hard drive data recovery’ but sooner or later everybody has a rude awakening.  It’s a rude awakening encountered not just by individual consumers but also by business of every size……

”Oh my God!!!  Where’s my stuff!!”
Data, of course, is stored in a variety of means today.  It might be a computer hard drive but it might also be USB drives, flash cards, camera cards, external hard-drives or some other variation.

Data is the basic elemental ingredient of digital life, business and communication today and that’s why data loss never comes at a convenient time.  It’s never expected and in most cases nobody is adequately prepared for it either.  That’s where we come into the picture at Pittsburg Data Recovery.

Personal data not only has ‘personal value’ but, with all the issues of identity theft and identity fraud today, personal data security is more important than ever.  For large businesses and corporations, the potential problems are even more critical.  Thomas Edison never had this kind of problem.

That’s right.  The typical modern small business or even very large enterprise relies very heavily on high technology, modern software and data crunching to stay competitive.

Most small businesses operate with minimal personnel and they need their computers and access to their data to stay efficient and make money.

Big companies and corporation, on the other hand, often operate on very slim margins to achieve profits based on high volume.  If they lose critical date for even an hour it can cost them thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Not to mention other issues such as market share or brand image.

So…it’s easy to see that your data is your most precious resource in this new digital business age and life we live.  Unfortunately, not a day goes by in the diverse business communities of Boston and Pittsburg that somebody or some business doesn’t have an unexpected hard disk data recovery issue.

Sometimes data recovery problems can be due to technical issues beyond your control.  Regardless of the cause, what can you do to either prevent or mitigate the problems caused by hard drive data loss (or any other types of data loss) and insure the continuance of your life or your business operations in the Boston or Pittsburg business community?
The first thing you can do is….’don’t go cheap’ in any aspect of your data handling processes that involves price vs. quality.  Data security is worth every penny it might seem to cost and it’s darn sure a lot cheaper than data recovery (even though data recovery is a worthwhile expense too).

The second thing you should do is make sure to back-up every critical piece of data you have.  Data storage itself is almost dirt cheap today so there’s no excuse not to back up data.  The only thing you might have to do (especially if you’re a ‘home user’ rather than a business with an IT department) is learn how to back up data correctly.  It’s not rocket science and you’ll eventually be glad you learned to do it.

The third thing you can do is have procedures in place which go into effect immediately if/when you encounter hard disk data loss situations in your life or business.

First and foremost of these procedures should be to have double or even triple redundancies that immediately take over so that, to whatever extent possible, your life can go on and/or you can continue to process new incoming transactions and handle incoming customer service issues.

Next, have resources and qualified personnel immediately available to attempt to recover the lost data.
You’ll be glad to know that in many cases the data that appears to be lost is actually there….somewhere.  The trick is…how to find it.  Sometimes it’s a software problem and at other times it might be a hardware problem.  Either way, it’ll take some serious digital sleuthing to track it down.

If you’re a medium to large company you might have internal personnel who can perform hard drive data recovery tasks for you.

Good for you. But the odds are that you don’t have personnel trained and ready to do this kind of thing and that’s where we come into your life at Pittsburg Data Recovery.

Whether you live in Pittsburg or Boston, we’re probably familiar with the systems and devices you’re using and we know the most expeditious way to solve your hard drive data recovery issues.
 
You’d be amazed at the data that can be successfully recovered from not just computer hard drives and hard disks but also USB drives, flash drives, external hard drives, digital camera and smart device cards and many other types of data storage technologies.

It might be personal data or personal data, it might be for a public or a private entity, it might be for a commercial operation or a non-profit….it’s all the same to us a Pittsburg Data Recovery because we’re fanatic about data recovery.

The best thing is to not have the problem of hard drive data recovery in the first place.  But if and when you do….we’re here to help

Data Recovery in The Big Apple

No doubt about it….data recovery problems can’t be tolerated in the biggest, most famous business city in the world…New York City (AKA: NY City, NYC, ‘The Big Apple’ or Manhattan).  Seriously, this is a city of souls vigorously engaged in enjoying life and doing business….and data is what makes it tick.

Data is the basic elemental ingredient of the digital business and consumerist age we live in.  Whether it’s your treasured personal pictures and music files or the files with all your accounts receivable worth millions of dollars….hard drive data loss and recovery is an important topic.

Data is of course stored in other ways than on the traditional desktop computer with a hard drive.  Hard drive data recovery issues are primarily the domain of businesses with a lot of desktop PC’s although a home user could likely have a computer with a hard drive data recovery emergency too.

The proliferation of ‘smart devices’ brings into play the factor of other types of data storage such as flash drives, USP drives, SD cards, external hard drives and other forms of data storage technology.

But sooner or later almost everybody experiences a data loss event and a need for a data recovery expert.  It might be on their camera, their smart phone, their laptop, their home PC, a computer at the office or (Heaven forbid!) on their company server.

Obviously all these situations are important within their own context but unfortunately they are situations which hardly anybody is every prepared for.

The optimal thing is to not let situations like this happen but it’s also true that they’re usually not anybody’s particular fault.  Even though data security and data theft are very real issues for business and individuals nowadays, data loss and recovery problems which call for data recovery experts could also be due to technical issues beyond one’s own control.

That’s why digital citizens of “The Big Apple” are always well advised to back up data as much as they can.  Data storage is almost ‘dirt cheap’ today so there’s no excuse not to regularly back-up your data to a separate and safe storage device or location.

Beyond that, it’s good to be prepared for the eventual likelihood that you will experience some type of data loss and data recovery problem at some point of your life…probably more than once.  So…be prepared with contingencies and redundancies to handle your data recovery issues.  As they say on Broadway…”The show must go on!”

At our company, we’re fanatical about tracking down lost data.  We never give up until ‘we get our byte’.  Whether your data recovery problem concerns PC’s, laptops, hard drives, smart-phones, tablets, personal or business data, music, audio, text files, site code, financial data and regardless of what kind of device is involved…..we can help you recover it.  If we can’t find it….nobody can.

First thing to do is give us a call. We’re easy to reach, our advice is free and we’d love to have a chance to add you to our long list of satisfied customers.
