Storage Area Networks (SAN) Data Recovery Services Kenya,Nairobi,Tanzania,Uganda,Rwanda.relatively common within larger enterprise companies. As a result of their complexity, SANs require specialized IT personnel to manage them effectively or otherwise outsource management to a third party vendor.
A SAN is a special network that connects different types of data storage devices such as a RAID and servers. However, SANs can also be an expensive investment for many companies, making it essential to weigh the potential benefits against the costs before making a final decision.
EADH data recovery engineers can recover data from SAN storage devices and get your business back up and running fast. SAN are typically larger systems used to provide access to data over multiple networks. This enables multiple devices to access the storage devices, making it possible to manage even the largest data-intensive operations with ease.
RAID systems, commonly, RAID 50 can be found in a SAN. RAID 50 is popular in this regard as it offers a blend of performance, capacity, and resilience without being too costly. SAN are primarily used to enhance storage devices or servers and can be as big as a 14 drive system. Whether you run a small retail business or a multinational corporation, a SAN can help speed up data processing, improve storage performance, and scale effortlessly as your business grows.
SAN are usually found in both enterprise and small to medium sized business environments. To ensure that your SAN is performing optimally, it’s recommended to have routine maintenance schedules in place, such as firmware updates and drive replacements.
What is a Storage Area Network?
You may be asking yourself: ‘What is a Storage Area Network?’ or even ‘What is a SAN Network?’. SANs are the largest and most resilient types of RAID servers, sometimes using dozens of hard disk drives. With storage space well into tens or dozens of terabytes, a large storage area network is typically carved into several or more iSCSI targets, also known as “soft partitions”.
SANs are the largest and most resilient types of RAID servers, sometimes using dozens of hard disk drives. With storage space well into tens or dozens of terabytes, a large storage area network is typically carved into several or more iSCSI targets, also known as “soft partitions”.
Data in a SAN is stored, transferred, and accessed at the block level. This means data file abstraction is typically not supported. Storage area networks may also use proprietary technology to transparent, logical storage architecture for storage area networking.
Can Storage Area Network Fail?
Even the most robust types of data storage devices can fall victim to data loss. Many of our enterprise data recovery customers come to us with crashed SAN systems from EMC, IBM, and HP. Regardless of the operating system or the manufacturer of your SAN device, we can help – we’ve made SAN recoveries on all operating systems and manufacturers of SAN devices. It’s common to see nested RAID systems such as RAID-51 or RAID-61 with multiple drives acting as hot spares. Most of these types of SAN storage systems run with enterprise-class hard drives like the Hitachi Ultrastar. These storage area networks can have dozens of these hard drives in RAID arrays providing dozens or hundreds of terabytes of storage space (and just as much redundancy). Although these storage devices had extreme amounts of redundancy, they all still failed in the end.
Sometimes all it takes for SAN failure and data loss is an unexpected power surge or power failure, or some other disaster. Even with redundancy, multiple hard drives can fail beyond what your storage area network’s fault tolerance can handle. Critical data can also be deleted, even entire iSCSI targets or LUNs.
WHY DO I NEED SAN DATA RECOVERY?
The goal of a SAN is to meet a business’ need for proper data storage and access while eliminating a single point of failure. Unfortunately, that doesn’t guarantee that your SAN will always run properly. If your SAN system fails due to physical or logical damage, a professional data recovery company has the expertise and quality tools to keep your company from having to rebuild from scratch.
EADH Data Recovery can recover your company’s client information, employee documents, and databases that may include years worth of critical data.

What to do After a SAN RAID Crash
If you have experienced a failure, do not try to re-instantiate (regenerate) your strip or rebuild the array. Anything that is done to the array from this point forward can greatly reduce the ability to recover your irreplaceable data. What may seem intuitive to try can permanently destroy our ability to recover data from a failed SAN. Contact us immediately to ensure a fast and successful recovery of your business’s essential data.
