a secret of our success
Even if I am not allowed to reveal all the secrets of our success, I am pleased that I can at least give today the readers of this newsletter a somewhat deeper insight behind the scenes of a data recovery company like Ontrack.
There are many reasons why data recovery pioneer Ontrack has been the world's technologically leading data recovery specialist since 1985, and these are essentially characterised by the following four pillars/facts:
- Long-standing, experienced & motivated employees
- Global presence with data recovery centres around the world
- Co-operations & technology transfers with many IT manufacturers
- Use of the best possible technologies including continuous research & development
The factor of the technology used in combination with the experience of the processing staff (cleanroom specialists & data engineers) is certainly a very important success factor when it comes to Ontrack providing/recovering as much missing data as possible in the best possible data quality
But there is another important reason why it is worth contacting Ontrack's specialists when important data is lost.
Data recovery specialists use different data recovery technologies:
Level 1: - Anyone can get started: Recover deleted data with freely available software such as Ontrack Easy Recovery or OntrackDesk.
Level 2: - Use of freely available, specialised data recovery tools. With some experience & training, you can use these tools to perform simple data recovery on HDD & SSD.
Level 3: - Use of more professional, often specialised technologies such as those used by incident response & forensics specialists or the police. These tools are often very expensive & designed for niche areas. In addition, these tools are very often not freely accessible to everyone. The acquisition requires special basic regulatory requirements, which a smaller data recovery company, which tends to operate regionally, is often unable to fulfil.
Level 4: - In-house research & development departments - Ontrack is able to continuously improve and expand the technologies it uses. This makes us more agile & precise in many areas. We are also in a unique position to react promptly to new data loss scenarios & develop customised solutions.
Level 5: - Project-specific development - The supreme discipline! Ontrack pragmatically utilises all useful technologies & solutions from Levels 1-4 & supplements these with our own project-specific solution developments. Especially for complex systems, special problems such as after a cyber- or ransomware attack, problems with backup data, damaged or corrupt data structures or simply when data from proprietary systems or data formats such as those found for example in virtual environments, surveillance cameras, car entertainment systems, etc. are encountered.
Thanks to these five perfectly matched capabilities, Ontrack is in a unique position to offer companies the best possible chance of success in the event of data loss, so that important missing business data can be successfully and comprehensively recovered.
These 5 levels in combination with the other three pillars mentioned above make Ontrack the undisputed technological leader & most successful data recovery specialist in the world.
