Kroll Ontrack has been and still is, the leading data recovery provider in Australia and New Zealand, since the year 2005. They became famous with their Ontrack Data Recovery service. Their work is primarily based on services for RAID, virtualised and flash/solid state media. With their research and development, they have the largest ISO 14644-1 class 5 environment in all of Australia. Your data is stored safely in their private Australian data center and they give you the highest chance of recovery: 80-59 percent, depending on the type of data loss.

Let’s talk about some of their main features, like:

 

Data recovery

This is their main feature and what made them famous. They actually offer two types of data recovery: for home users and for business, so let’s take a separate look at both of them.

 
 

For home: This feature is for people that lost their family vacation photos, rehearsal videos, their favorite music and so on. All of your precious memories and emotional valuables can be restored. They work on all sorts of different storage media, desktops, laptops, flash memory…

 

For business: Meant for the restoration of critical business data. For lost confidential data, projects, schedules, contacts, etc.

 

How does it all work? Simple, in four simple steps: Consultation, Evaluation, Data Recovery and Support. Consultation is the beginning part where, together with Kroll team, you assess the situation, and come to the most effective solution to your problem. During the evaluation process their team will assess your media and provide their expert opinion and guide you throughout the specifics and through their fixed pricing. Data Recovery is the part that comes after you fill out the data recovery contract and actual repairs start on your memory storage, and you can even track the progress online. Data return and Support is the final stage where they return your restored data on an encrypted external hard drive, with instructions on how to access your files, with any additional support and assistance you might need.

 

Data management

Organising your valuable data is the key to successful business. Data management is the core of any business and the best way to do it is in a manner that controls expenses, simultaneously improving business continuity.

Saving essential time and data can be done with their Ontrack PowerControls. Perfect software if you need to be in control of your company emails, getting easy access to every email ever received, along with all the attachments. Perfect for extracting only the items you need. Extremely useful for providing evidence in the case of legal proceedings.

If you have problems with dark data? Because there might be ‘who knows what’ in those old backups. As I mentioned before, data is crucial, and it affects your daily business. Kroll Ontrack can help you manage your data by converting it, cataloging it or migrating it, making it easier and cheaper to manage.
