Epsom, UK (PRWEB) June 24, 2010 -- Kroll Ontrack has announced significant improvements to its data recovery (http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.co.uk/) capabilities for Apple® Macintosh® systems, addressing the surge in usage of Apple products such as the MacBook Pro®, iPad® and iPhone®, as well as Mac OS® X server and Apple Xsan® 2 in business IT environments. Ontrack® Data Recovery engineers have developed a new Recovery Positioning SystemTM, which adds a higher level of precision to the data recovery process, resulting in faster service and a higher quality data recovery for Mac platforms.
According to Kroll Ontrack, requests for Mac-specific data recoveries have doubled over the last three years, growing 117 percent from 2006 to 2009. In addition to its proprietary Recovery Positioning System, Kroll Ontrack is equipped with data recovery technology for MacMail and Microsoft® Entourage® e-mail, as well as data recovery services (http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.co.uk/data-recovery-services/) for Apple Xsan 2 clustered file system for Mac OS X.
"Increasingly, IT departments are deploying Mac systems not only for mobile computing, but also as an enterprise platform. The Recovery Positioning System for Apple Macintosh systems is our latest in-house data recovery tool, which gives Ontrack Data Recovery engineers the ability to get to the most critical files quickly, thereby improving the quality and turnaround of each recovery," said Phil Bridge, managing director, Kroll Ontrack UK. "Apple customers with Mac operating systems benefit not only from our 25 years of hard drive data recovery (http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.co.uk/data-recovery-services/hard-drive-recovery/) experience, but also our dedicated research and development and cleanroom technology, which are second to none."
Following a hard drive failure or physical damage to the media, the quality of a data recovery can diminish as deterioration occurs and time is spent recovering files from unimportant areas of the drive. Using its Recovery Positioning System process, Kroll Ontrack is able to prioritise the recovery strategy according to the most critical needs of the customer and locate specific information on used areas of the drive as well as critical file types. Customers are provided with a comprehensive evaluation and detailed file report of which files can be recovered, so they can make informed decisions about how best to proceed.
"Immediately after losing data, it's in a Mac user's best interest to get the system into the hands of experts quickly, rather than trying to remove the failed drive yourself and risk damaging the system even further and invalidating warranties," said Kam Amin, managing director, AA Mac. "Kroll Ontrack's data recovery engineers are Apple Certified Technicians with unmatched expertise in performing recoveries of critical data, providing Apple business customers, Apple Service Providers and individual users with peace of mind even in the most stressful situations."

How To Turn An Old Internal Hard Drive Into An External Drive
Old Internal Hard Drive Converted Into a Useful External Hard Drive
Everyone needs more storage space sooner or later, whether it's an internal or external hard drive and you've probably replaced that hard drive inside your computer for a larger capacity drive
Evaluating the Best Hard Drive Recovery Software
Have you ever experienced turning on your computer to find that a virus has wiped much of your hard drive clean? Or, perhaps you've even been deleted an email out of your trash bin only to find out that you badly needed the information within it for work? Have you ever spent hours on a document only to have the power go out and in the end discovered that you failed to save the work and lose everything you'd worked on? Well, all of these are very real problems commonly encountered by real people. Luckily, a number of best hard drive recovery software were developed as equally real solutions for all of these problems.
2 Approaches To Data Recovery After Formatting
The first thing you need to do after a system crash has forced you to reformat your hard drive is to test your PC to make sure whatever caused the crash is still not around to destabilize your system. Once you know your PC is stable, you can begin the process of data recovery after formatting.
External Hard Drive Data Recovery
There are a number of ways to store data. You can store the files on hard drives, removable disks, DVDs or CDs, just to mention a few. However, contrary to the popular belief, no matter how these storage products might be, any electronic or mechanical device is subject to break down. No matter how new or old the device is, it can fail to function normally, and there's nothing you can do to avoid it.
The Best Affordable Way To Successful Data Recovery
Data lost can result from failed hard drives caused by mechanical failure, bumped or dropped drives, viruses, sabotage, user error such as accidentally deleted files or formatting, power surges and disruptions, and natural disasters such as lightning strikes, fires, and floods.
Tips for Hard Drive Recovery
Hard drive recovery can be tricky and very damaging to the hard drive and the data on it if you don’t know that it is the problem, how to fix it and who to have fix it. It is extremely important that only a professional and certified computer specialist be the one to perform your hard drive recovery. It is also important to know as much as you can about your hard drive, including the causes and symptoms of a hard drive becoming damaged, which operating systems are best compatable with the hard drive recovery process, and what not to do if you suspect your hard drive might be the problem.
Failed Hard Drive Data Recovery Tips
One thing that manufacturers of hard drives will not tell you is that hard drives are subject to fail, regardless of the amount of time they are used. Some takes more than 10 years before the hard drive failure to occur, while others fail within just a year of normal use. Because of this, a failed hard drive data recovery is important to consider.
