Our IBM Raid recovery pricing starts at £500+vat for our standard recovery service. We offer IBM Raid recovery services for any IBM Raid server no matter what the setup - Raid 5, Raid 1, Raid 0, Raid 10 etc. We recover 99% of all IBM Raid server systems and have recovered from 100's of IBM Raid servers over the last 10+ years. Call us on 0800 075 0720 for a free quote.
We offer three service options, which comprise the following:
Standard - £500 Express - £900 Critical - £1500
Our 'Standard Data Recovery Service' is a 2-4 day working day service, 'Express Data Recovery Service' is 1-2 working days and our 'Critical Data Recovery Service' is usually 24 hours. The above pricing is based on a standard 3 disk Raid 5 IBM system. If there are more disks or a rebuild has taken place then the price will be more.
We have an office in both Belfast and London so disk's can be dropped off or sent into us via the postal or courier system. We believe we offer the quickest and best IBM Raid Data Recovery Expertise in the UK and Ireland to recover from failed IBM Raid systems. We have recovered from 100's of IBM Raid systems over the last 10+ years.

We recover IBM Raid systems from all types of server operating systems including Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 2003, Microsoft 2008, Mac OS X Server, Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, openBSD, Solaris, IBM AIX, HP HP-UX, Windows Small Business Server etc. So no matter what the file system is, whether its Apple HFS+, Windows NTFS, Linux Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, XFS or ZFS we can recover your data for you.
IBM Raid systems have been extremely popular over the last few years due to their good name and robust technology. While very good raid servers, IBM servers, like all other systems, they do fail. A sudden failure of the IBM Raid server can be caused by one or more disk failed in the raid array, IBM raid controller has stopped working or hard disks have become corrupted either on their own or from the result of an upgrade or rebuild. 99% of the time we can recover from these type of failures.
Recovery Process:
Depending on the type of IBM Raid system, the data recovery process can take several paths depending on the IBM Raid configuration of your server system.
In all cases all hard disks are imaged as part of our standard recovery procedure. This ensures the intergity of the original hard disk's.
We then work with the hard disk images to process the IBM Raid system by recompiling the data. This process depends on your IBM Raid configutation but often involves de-stripping or recompiling the hard disk images and then processing the data.
We are the only data recovery company that images all hard disks before and after de-stripping-recompiling to ensure the highest possible chance of recovering your data.
If you are unsure what the file system configuration is we can also determine the configuration for you.
IBM Server Raid Configuration:
IBM Servers support several different data storage configurations, which provide the owner/business of the system with different data protection levels and different recovery chances if the IBM Server fails.
RAID 0: Data is distributed across the drives. This is the best-performing configuration with maximum data capacity. A single drive failure causes loss of all the data. This method is gradually getting replaced with other raid configurations but is still being used in basic IBM systems.
RAID 1: In this configuration two shared disks are mirrored. This configuration provides great speed but only half of the potential storage capacity. This configuration is rarely used on IBM servers but we still see some IBM systems with this configuration. Normally the only time we see Raid 1 been used on a IBM raid server is when the operating system is on a Raid 1 setup and the data volume is on a Raid 5 setup.
JBOD: This ensures full storage capacity and good performance. Single drive failure may cause all data loss. We see this very rarely on a IBM server.
RAID 5: This is now the most popular and the default for the latest IBM Raid servers. Data is distributed across the drives using backward parity rotation. This configuration is fast but space equal to one disk's capacity is lost. The IBM server system will continue to operate normally even after single drive failure. 90% of IBM jobs we receive in are setup as Raid 5.
IBM Raid systems support different interfaces. Some of the interfaces supported include: IBM PATA Drives, IBM SATA Drives, IBM IDE Drives, IBM SATA Drives, IBM SATA II Drives, IBM SATA 2 Drives, IBM III Drives, IBM SATA 3 Drives, IBM eSATA, IBM SAS Drives, IBM SCSI Drives, IBM iSCSI, IBM ESDI Drives, IBM Fibre Channel Drives, IBM Firewire Drives and IBM PCMCIA Drives.

Step 1
Telephone us on 0800 075 0720 for a quote. Remove disk's from server and label them in numbering sequence as per server. Phone us on 0800 075 0720 to arrange to drop of the disk to us. If you are posting in disks to us please send the Hard Drives via a suitable postage service along with your Contact Details (Full Name, Full Postal Address, Phone Number, Email Address). If you don't specify standard of service the Raid system will get booked in under our standard service. You can use the 'Shipping Form' to print out your details and send with hard disks. We recommend Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery. It is a guaranteed next day service so if you send today we will receive tomorrow. The average costs for raid server disks are £10.00+ via this delivery method and the contents are fully insured up to a value of £500.Our Address

Step 2
Once we receive server disks we will inspect and perform a full diagnostic on disks to confirm the problem and the level of data recovery that we can attain from your Raid system, we will contact you ASAP to determine what data you want recovered. We normally be in contact within 24 hours with the average standard recovery job taking 4 days to complete.Step 3
We recover the data and send you details via email for you to confirm the data before you pay us for the recovery services. Once we receive payment we will backup the data you want and copy the contents onto a suitable media. We normally advise all cleints to get everyting backed up to either data dvd or an external/portable hard disk.Step 3
We send the recovered data back to you via a Next Day Courier Service. Our aim to complete the Data Recovery Service within 24-96 hours of receiving the hard disks. We believe we offer the quickest turnaround service and best value data recovery service within the UK and Ireland.For further information on our Data Recovery Services or to confirm a Data Recovery Quote call us on 0800 075 0720, or email us to the email addresses below. We are open Monday - Friday 9am - 6pm GMT.
