A-Logic Data Recovery [Monday, November 16, 2009]

DATA RECOVERY SOLUTIONS_
= Deleted or lost partitions / files.
= Lost and deleted emails (all formats and platforms).
= Accidental and erroneously formatted storage media.
= Data from extensively physically damaged storage devices.
= Corrupt Microsoft Office documents and Outlook PST files.
= Data from damaged storage devices
= Virus-damaged files.
= Hardware “Open Drive Recovery”
= Inaccessible disk drive or partitions
= Mechanical hard drive failure
= Overwritten Tapes
= Fire & water damage

HARD DRIVE RECOVERY_
Failure in drive and media systems can often be attributed to human error, software problems or hardware malfunctions. Proper recovery protocols are essential to prevent further data loss or damage to file system structures. The first step in the recovery process is a comprehensive media diagnostics. The media is then cloned using specialised software, and data is recovered from the image. In cases where a drive image is not possible, our applications can reconstruct the data. In the event of physical damage or mechanical failure, damaged components are replaced and the drive is repaired in a cleanroom environment.

RAID DATA RECOVERY_
RAID volumes are also prone to failure under certain circumstances such as power spikes and dips, controller failure or environmental damage. Repairable configurations include RAID 0, 1, 5 and JBOD.

TAPE DATA RECOVERY_
It is a common practice to back up data to tape drives; however tapes are prone to failure for the same reasons as other magnetic media. We are able to recover data from DAT, DLT, LTO, AIT tapes.
CD, DVD, STIFFY AND FLASHDRIVE DATA RECOVERY_
It is often possible to accomplish CD and DVD data recovery provided the medium is not totally destroyed. Loss of data is a common occurrence with such optical storage devices as well as with removable magnetic storage devices such as 3.5” stiffies or USB devices such as flash drives.

In the event of a recovery not being possible, we will NOT invoice you for the attempted recovery. We will always give you a quote before proceeding with recovery. Exactly how much data we are able to recover will depend on the cause and the nature of the damage, though it is often possible to recover all the data.

A-Logic Software Licensing [Monday, November 16, 2009]

Consulting Services
A-Logic_ lowers the cost of Enterprise Hardware and Software Asset Licensing by providing its clients with constructive consulting leading to the most cost-effective path to new software, upgrades, cross-grades, open, volume, and subscription licensing.

Compliance Analysis
Specialising in legal compliance, A-Logic has assisted many clients through the often difficult transition to software legalisation, by minimising the risk of prosecution by legal bodies and managing the transition process to new software.

Software Asset Management
The purpose of IT Asset Management is to ensure that every element of hardware and software being used is correctly licensed and that the costs involved are an accurate reflection of the company’s actual requirements. IT Asset Management analyses, clarifies and organises your licensing, which may be obsolete, lacking the right protection, lying dormant or installed in duplicate. Licences may be missing or have expired, making the software a legal liability. The impacts on a business include high costs, penalties of non-compliance (and associated negative publicity), and legal proceedings.

Software Licensing Compliance Auditing
A-Logic provides Asset Auditing and Management systems and services to clients, reporting on current licensing status, providing a roadmap to licensing objectives and supporting clients through ongoing management and automated asset management systems.

Centralised Software Source
Purchasing and managing multiple software licenses across large numbers of users, branch offices and geographic locations makes the licensing procurement and deployment process extremely complex. A-Logic provides a central source for consulting, procuring and deployment of enterprise licensing.
