Seagate expands data recovery services to Oz

DISK drive maker Seagate Technology has launched its professional data recovery services in Australia as part of a global expansion in the recovery business.

The company said its Seagate Recovery Services business offered “the last line of defence” for companies in protecting information assets.

“Corporations and consumers are increasingly placing a premium on the value of digital content they’ve created for work and play, and they cannot afford the risk of losing (that) data,” Seagate’s Asia-Pacific channel sales and marketing executive director Kevin Lee said in a statement.

“As such, Seagate Recovery Services provides the last line of defence to recover the loss of these invaluable data quickly and accurately,” he said.

The company uses its own software as part of an in-lab recovery service using a patented system called SignalTrace.

Seagate said the technology lets its service engineers recover data from all types of media – regardless of brands and formats – that have undergone severe physical damage, liquid damage, fire damage, software corruption, system sabotage and accidental file deletion.

The SignalTrace technology is drive-independent and allows for data recovery from media that cannot be addressed by traditional in-lab recovery methods, the company said.
