Companies invest in RAID (English acronym for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks" or in French: Redundant Array of Independent Disks) due to two main reasons: a high reliability in terms of data availability and high performance of input and output data. RAID systems and patterns of implementation have proven their importance in our modern age, where data size is growing at a dizzying pace. Without doubt, the fault tolerance of RAID systems makes them the first choice of many companies or organizations. But you can not simply ignore the fact that a RAID system can fail. In these unfortunate situations, companies have no better option than doing so using services of data recovery RAID.
The consequences of failure RAID
RAID failing can be a real headache for a company made impotent when critical business data is no longer available. With each failure, there is a pause in activity or longer can result in serious financial implications. To protect them from such a disaster scenario, an organization must take advantage of RAID recovery service as soon as possible.
The causes of failure RAID
RAID systems with high fault tolerance are only designed to counteract a physical failure, but not logical failures. Therefore, it is unwise for a company to rely completely on a RAID configuration. Let's take a look at the major causes of failure RAID which can induce a company to a complete stop
its activity:
Malfunction of the controller, RAID Partition Missing, Lost RAID configuration settings, accidental reconfiguration of the RAID volume, electrical voltage fluctuations, failure of multiple drives, reformatting or deleting data, viral infections and other causes yet ...
RAID Data Recovery, an expert working
Recover data from failed RAID system is a complex task that should be entrusted only to experts. Any attempt to repair a RAID by reformatting the disk or by running repair utilities can aggravate the problem and result in permanent data loss. When your company is facing a failure of a RAID system, the internal IT department should not try to repair it, only experts in data recovery RAID must be consulted and, as a precaution, the following must be respected:
Never start the system with one disk removed Never reset or rebuild a RAID Never failing to pursue a remedy when it becomes apparent that more than one drive fails.
