Disaster Recovery

data center cleaning Datacenters are the lifeblood of most companies today.
In the unfortunate event this key asset is compromised by disaster, a company can face severe financial losses.
The best way to protect your Datacenter is to create and test a strategic disaster recovery plan, so that you are ready to begin Datacenter cleaning and repair to bring your operation back on-line as quickly as you can.

The key to any disaster recovery plan is having qualified external resources that can quickly help your organization regain its Datacenter operations. Our rapid response team can be on site within hours of a disaster and is fully trained in ISO Standard 14644 for mission-critical environments. Our rapid-response services include damage assessment, alternate recovery strategies, recovery time estimations and cleaning as well as restoration and recovery of your Datacenter and damaged media.

DataSpan is one of the nation's most trusted sources for Disaster Recovery Services which include the following: pickup, inventory, sorting, drying, cleaning, recovery, degaussing, duplication and disposal of damaged media, as well as hard-drive recovery, Datacenter cleanup and emergency sourcing of Datacenter essentials.

Pickup, Inventory and Sorting of Damaged Media

While the DataSpan response team is providing Datacenter cleaning assistance, and you are restoring your operations to pre-disaster levels, the DataSpan Operations Center will assist with the inventory and sorting of any damaged storage media. These services include the pickup and full inventory of the tapes as well as a thorough sorting, so as to fully assess the next steps to recover the data on the tapes.

With over 35 years of experience with storage media of every type, DataSpan has the expertise to assess the level of damage to your tapes and to provide you with clear options to recover, duplicate or dispose of the damaged media.

Recovery and Duplication of Damaged Media

Whether fire, water or smoke damage, now you are faced with the daunting task of trying to understand how bad the damage is — and "what are your options are" in terms of recovering the data and duplicating the tapes.

That’s where DataSpan comes in. With our extensive experience with damaged media, we will assess the situation and then provide you a list of available options for recovery and duplication of the media to preserve your confidential data.

All methods of recovery and duplication are done in our secure Operations Center, with highly qualified staff handling the procedures. You can rest assured that every possible measure will be taken to preserve your critical data and restore your operations to pre-disaster levels as quickly as possible.

Degaussing and Disposal of Damaged Media

What do you do in the event that damaged media are beyond the point of recovery? What measures should be taken to ensure that all the data is eradicated from the damaged media before the media is disposed of? How and where can you have this done quickly, efficiently and, most importantly, reliably?

DataSpan is your trusted source for data eradication and tape disposal. Used by some of the largest Datacenters across the U.S., DataSpan has years of experience providing services to ensure all your confidential and sensitive data is eradicated before disposal.

Because we use degaussing equipment rated more than twice the standard strength required, and testing every eradicated tape before disposal, you can rest assured your data will never fall into the wrong hands.

Hard-Drive Data Recovery

Smoke, water, fire and chemical damage to hard drives can render them and the data they hold inaccessible. This kind of damage often affects some of the most recent data saved, which can be among the most critical data to recover quickly.

DataSpan’s Disaster Recovery Services include hard-drive data recovery. Whether the hard-drive itself needs restoration or the data from the drive needs to be duplicated and stored on other storage media, DataSpan can provide the best options to allow your organization to regain access to this critical information.

Drying and Cleaning Damaged Media

After our rapid response team completely dries and cleans your damaged media, we can provide an assessment as to whether the media should be duplicated before going back into storage, eradicated and destroyed due to irreparable damage, or whether the media is capable of being put back into full usage.

Our Operations Center is fully equipped to dry any type of damaged media, with cleaning equipment and resources to follow the drying process. Tissue cleaning, retensioning, checking the operation of all moving parts on the tape, and checking the status of data on the tape are all standard procedures we follow.
