Kroll Ontrack announces data recovery breakthrough on VMware virtualized environments

Kroll Ontrack has announced that it has become the first company to have the ability to perform data recovery services on VMware systems. Using newly developed proprietary technology, Kroll Ontrack conceived and developed capabilities specifically designed to recover folders and files on all types of virtual systems. This capability provides businesses with a viable resource when data loss occurs in these environments.

While there are space saving, environmental and cost benefits to virtualization and server consolidation, having all your data in one place can leave businesses vulnerable to experiencing substantial data loss. The rise in virtualized environments paired with instances of physical or operating system failure during configuration has lead to a significant spike in the amount of virtual environment recovery requests Kroll Ontrack has recently received.

“The number of virtual environment jobs has increased ten-fold over the last year,” said Jeff Pederson, manager of data operations, Kroll Ontrack. “When virtual infrastructure data loss occurs, identifying the cause and recovering the data is very complex. This requires deep expertise and extensive knowledge of VMware environments. Kroll Ontrack has the required level of knowledge to perform these recoveries and can restore lost business data in one of our labs, onsite or remotely.”

Specifically, Kroll Ontrack can now successfully recover lost data on the following VMware systems:
- VMware Infrastructure 2 & 3 (ESX Server, VMFS)
- VMware® Server
- VMware® Workstation (all versions).
