SAN Data Recovery
Storage Area Networks are at the heart of many data centers and enterprise infrastructures. When a SAN fails – due to switch misconfigurations, LUN corruption, or controller-level faults – the impact can be system-wide. We perform recovery on Fibre Channel and iSCSI-based systems, working within complex, distributed storage architectures to identify and retrieve lost volumes. Our approach supports recovery across clustered, virtualized, and high-availability environments where uptime and accuracy are critical.

Understanding SAN Vulnerabilities
Storage Area Network (SAN) environments are engineered for performance, scalability, and redundancy. They form the backbone of storage in enterprise-level systems – powering everything from virtual machine clusters to transactional databases. Despite their resilience, SAN infrastructures remain vulnerable to disruptions that require expert recovery intervention.
Failures in SAN systems may stem from both hardware faults and logical inconsistencies. Common triggers include controller firmware issues, switch misconfigurations, improper zoning, failed multipathing setups, or LUN metadata corruption. These disruptions can propagate rapidly, causing storage volumes to become inaccessible or entire nodes to go offline. Since SAN environments are inherently layered and interdependent, root causes often lie deep within system configurations or network logic.
Our Approach to SAN Recovery
Our SAN data recovery services support Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and other storage protocols. Whether dealing with standalone shelves or integrated modular arrays, recovery begins with a top-down diagnostic process. We virtually reconstruct the original storage topology using configuration records, volume maps, and historical system data. This emulation-based method allows for safe, precise data extraction without compromising the original infrastructure.
We tailor our recovery workflow to match the architectural specifics of each deployment – on-premise, hybrid, or cloud-integrated. The process includes LUN identification and validation, RAID reconstruction when applicable, and targeted file system extraction across VMFS, NTFS, EXT, and proprietary formats.
Data Security and Compliance
Security and data integrity are foundational to every case we handle. Recovery operations are conducted in controlled environments with restricted, logged access. Temporary working data is encrypted during the process and securely erased upon project completion. For clients in regulated sectors, we adhere to applicable compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, and others – providing full traceability and auditable procedures.
Moving Forward with Confidence
When SAN access is compromised, delaying action can lead to further complications. Our specialists are equipped to assess, isolate, and recover complex SAN environments with speed and accuracy. Reach out to us to initiate a recovery plan tailored to your system’s structure and operational needs.

Your Recovery Journey: What to Expect
Step 1: Getting in Touch
If you’ve lost data or your device is acting strange, the first thing to do is reach out. Our team is here to help 24/7. We’ll ask a few questions to understand what happened and let you know if recovery is possible.
Step 2: Sending Us Your Device
We’ll explain how to safely pack and ship your device to us. As soon as we receive it – whether it’s a hard drive, SSD, USB, RAID, or memory card – we’ll run tests to find out what went wrong. This might be physical damage, file system errors, or a virus like ransomware.
Step 3: Recovery Plan and Your OK
Once we know what’s going on, we’ll send you a summary that includes what data we expect to recover, how long it’ll take, and the cost. We only move forward if you give the go-ahead. And remember – if we can’t recover your data, you don’t pay.
Step 4: Recovering Your Files
Our engineers use pro-grade tools (and cleanrooms when needed) to recover your files safely. Whether it’s rebuilding a RAID, fixing firmware, or recovering deleted files – we’ll do what’s needed to bring your data back without risk.
Step 5: Reviewing and Getting Your Data
After recovery, you’ll get a full list of the files we recovered. Once you confirm everything looks good, we’ll send the data back on an external drive, through the cloud, or whatever works best for you. We can also return your original device.
Step 6: Help After Recovery
We’ll walk you through what we recovered and offer tips to avoid future problems. Need help setting up backups or keeping your files safe? We’ve got you. Our support doesn’t end when the recovery does.
SAN DATA RECOVERY: FAQ
How secure is the data recovery process?
The recovery process is conducted according to high security standards. Certified clean rooms are used, data is encrypted and access is strictly controlled.
What types of SAN systems are supported for data recovery?
We work with SAN-systems based on Fibre Channel, iSCSI and other common protocols. Both classic and virtualized environments are supported, including solutions from Dell EMC, NetApp, HP, IBM, Hitachi and other vendors.
Recovery is possible from different types of configurations - from simple racks with disk shelves to scalable modular storage with redundant controllers. We can handle damaged RAID groups, broken LUN mappings, SAN factory failures and knocked down access zones.
Even if a system uses a non-standard architecture or proprietary file system, we customize the process to safely retrieve data.
Can I recover data from a SAN after physical damage to the hardware?
Yes, data recovery is possible even after physical damage such as fire or flooding. We use specialized equipment and techniques to retrieve data.
How much does it cost to recover data from SAN?
The cost is calculated individually and depends on many factors. The main role is played by the nature of the failure - simple logical damage and multi-disk failure require a different approach. Also important are the amount of data, the type of architecture used, the need to recreate the configuration manually and the urgency of the task.
The exact calculation is possible only after diagnostics, which allows you to assess the extent of damage and predict the scope of work.
