Service, Confidence, Cofidentiality and Skills: Have your data retrieved back by the experts
Our Offer to End Users and Enterprises alike
- As of 12 June 2009, Retrodata is offering users of failed RAID arrays £100 if we cannot recover the data from the array or device.
At Retrodata, we consider ourselves to be a leading provider of data recovery and conversion services, in particular recovery from complex RAID arrays, or proprietary or legacy systems.
We have spent the past 18 months upgrading systems, refining our expertise and concentrating our efforts on more specific areas relating to data storage and retrieval. We are now so utterly confident of our technology that we are willing to pay users £100 in the event we are unable to recover their failed RAID array or storage device. (The list of file systems and RAID levels included in this guarantee is shown below.)
The guarantee is subject to logical failure, failed RAID controller (or general system failure) and is applicable to any RAID array mentioned below and consisting of up to 24 drives.
We believe we are the first data recovery company ever to offer such a strong guarantee of success, and this new policy reinforces the capabilities of our technical and engineering staff. We anticipate that this guarantee will be permanent, and like to think it is a step in the right direction of obliterating mediocrity.
