Kroll Ontrack, a provider of data management solutions, has announced the ability to recover data from an Apple Xsan 2 server that has encountered volume corruption, using newly developed proprietary technology.
Xsan 2 is billed as the best way to share and manage data on a network, built around a 64-bit cluster file system specifically designed for small and large computing environments.
Xsan 2 technology enables multiple Mac desktop and Xserve systems to share RAID storage volumes over a high-speed Fibre Channel network.
"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 Phil Bridge, managing director of Kroll Ontrack UK.
"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."
This is Kroll Ontrack’s third Apple-specific data recovery solution in three months. In April, the company announced an enhanced suite of data recovery technologies for both Mac OSX Mail and Microsoft Entourage email.
