• Kroll Ontrack, a provider of data recovery and ediscovery, has announced data recovery capabilities for VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN). On the market since March 2014, Kroll Ontrack has already successfully recovered data from several hard disks that were managed by VSAN for a client in the Netherlands. In a combined team effort by Ontrack Data Recovery engineers from around the world, Kroll Ontrack was specifically able to recover all the data stored in the virtual machines from a total of 15 disks and three SSDs.
“Since VSAN is so new, we are very proud that we were able to completely recover virtual machines from VSAN hard disks for the first time,” said Paul Le Messurier, Programme and Operations Manager at Kroll Ontrack. “With newly gained knowledge, we developed a toolset for these systems, and can now handle new VSAN recovery requests in an expedited fashion.” In the initial Virtual SAN recovery case, one SSD failed which caused one of the three nodes to fail, and that took down the entire VSAN storage system. As a result, four large virtual machines comprised of valuable business data were lost.
