Kroll Ontrack, the leading provider of Ontrack® Data Recovery <http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.co.uk/>  and other data management solutions, can now recover data from an Xsan server that has encountered volume corruption. The capabilities apply to Apple Inc.’s Xsan® 2 clustered file system for Mac OS X <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X> , using newly developed proprietary technology at Kroll Ontrack.

Dedicated to continuous research and development, this is Kroll Ontrack’s third Apple-specific data recovery breakthrough in three months. Specifically, in late April 2009, Kroll Ontrack announced an enhanced suite of data recovery technology for both Mac OSX Mail and Microsoft® Entourage® email.

Executive quote

“Prior to this development, Xsan file system data recovery was mostly limited to hardware-based failures. Organisations that rely on the Xsan file system would often have no other course of action other than to reinitialise these very valuable and expensive servers when volume corruption occurred, making their data inaccessible,” said Ciaran Farrell, business development manager at Kroll Ontrack Ireland. “With the innovative development of Kroll Ontrack’s Xsan server-specific data recovery capabilities, organisations have a viable alternative for their data protection needs. Utilising the skills of our world-class engineers, Xsan server recoveries are feasible in a matter of a couple of business days.”

“As Mac computers grow in popularity, so does the need for data recovery for these systems,” added Farrell. “At Kroll Ontrack, we are committed to continually evolving our technology and skills to be at the cutting edge of our customers’ needs.”
