In addition to the new work area recovery spaces, Cervalis has recently invested a significant amount to enhance its Wappingers Falls, New York facility. Cervalis, in keeping with their philosophy of the highest level of commitment to maintaining their high availability data centers, has begun a major upgrade of the systems and components that provides chilled water to the Wappingers Falls Data Center. This upgrade includes replacement of two water cooled chillers, a rebuild of the cooling towers, modernization of the major controls and replacement of several computer room air handlers. Cervalis is also installing a state of the art water treatment system for the cooling towers and a new computer room humidification system.

These are the most recent in a series of expansions at Cervalis, helping to cement its place as one of the largest IT Infrastructure Solutions and data center providers in the Northeast.

John Vernazza, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Cervalis, states, “We are very happy with the way that our business has developed and grown in all of our data center locations. The Northeast is a perfect place for business.” Cervalis’ clients use their data center facilities to run their IT operations. According to Vernazza, “Our clients are enterprise clients of all sizes ranging from companies who have 50 employees to those with tens of thousands of employees and more.” Vernazza describes these clients as “companies who are growing and looking for high-availability services in order to protect their IT operations and ensure their continuous operation no matter what occurs.”

"My wife asked me if she should buy a laptop with spinning media or solid-state storage," he told PC Pro at the company’s UK premises in Epsom. "Honestly, I’d go with spinning media right now. Because I know that if something goes wrong, and we don’t have a backup, that’s going to be easier and cheaper to recover."

If someone sends in a Western Digital or Seagate drive, we’ve seen those a thousand times before

While recovering lost data from solid-state media is possible, the process can be time-consuming - and therefore expensive.

"With spinning media you’ve got pretty well established sets of standards," Bridge explained. "With solid-state, it’s almost as if every drive that comes in has a different structure and different technology. Many of them require bespoke development to get the data back – whereas if someone sends in a Western Digital or Seagate drive, we’ve seen those a thousand times before."

Kroll Ontrack mainly serves large organisations that can afford to pay for a specialist service, but Bridge emphasised that its services are open to consumers too.

"We can do data recovery in our lab from £299," he said. "If you figure out what the impact is of re-ripping 500 CDs, and ten DVDs... and what’s the value of all of last year's holiday photos? You’ve probably got £300's worth of data right there."

This handout has been released by one of most reputed software developing organization, which wants to inform all its hard drive data recovery utility users that it has been gone through upgrading process. All the newly added features strengthen application working capabilities and make it worth to purchase for the users. Some of the basic attributes which were lined are that application is capable of windows partition recovery i.e. users can recover FAT and NTFS data.

In the same context head of the software developing team talked to our correspondence and informs us that ;NTFS or say New Technology File system is a proprietary type of file system that has been developed by the Microsoft family and it is supersedes of FAT file system. NTFS is default file system of Windows NT 3.1 edition and other version which are developed after that. Most of the users are using NTFS file system to store data as it has been developed with the capability to store Meta data securely. But due to some unwanted reasons users lost their data and in such situation users can rely upon on our windows recovery tool.

One of the support executive says that there are several reasons which are responsible for deletion of windows data such as virus attack, improper shutdown, and stored data on bad sector of disk and so on. And due to all these reasons users face several issues while accessing the hard drive data. There are chances when users system screen pop up different error messages. In such situation solution left with users is to do data recovery for windows.

Evan Swans, Director of Product Development quoted while saying our aim is to fulfill all the need of users thus we develop and upgrade our tool at regular interval so that users can easily do data recovery for Windows. We have developed file recovery windows application with attribute like self explanatory steps, recover permanently deleted data, and recover wndows data from any storage devices.

In daily use of Windows 8, fine partition management is essential if users want to keep its superiority. Surely, the advantages of good partition management are more than that, also including facilitating data storage and management, improving use ratio of hard disk, promoting data storage security, etc, which can not be neglected. Despite those benefits, few users can experience them because most users can not find a good method for managing Windows 8 partition.

Speaking of Windows 8 partition management, most of the users perhaps firstly think of Windows 8 built-in disk management tool. But, having many flaws, the tool fails users in excellent Windows 8 partition management. Is there another way to manage Windows 8 partition? Actually, the Windows 8 partition manager MiniTool Partition Wizard can help users make it easily and perfectly.

Comparisons between Windows 8 partition manager and Windows 8 built-in disk management tool Many users may raise the question why the Windows 8 partition manager MiniTool Partition Wizard is able to realize the operations that can not be achieved by Windows 8 built-in disk management tool. That is because MiniTool Partition Wizard, compared with Windows 8 built-in disk management tool, has more comprehensive functions. Their comparisons are following.

Seen from this, this Windows 8 partition manager has more practical utilities.

It has been mentioned that MiniTool Partition Wizard has many comprehensive functions. Some users may still have doubts about it. So we'll run this Windows 8 partition manager and introduce its functions briefly, hoping to get rid of those doubts.

After launching MiniTool Partition Wizard under Windows 8, we'll see its main interface, as follows.

Seeing from the top area marked with red box, we can know that MiniTool Partition Wizard has abilities to manage entire disk, partitions and dynamic disks. After selecting any partition, we can see its complete partition management functions from the left red box. If those functions are not enough to persuade you into using this Windows 8 partition manager, it also has many other unique features that are not possessed by other software of this kind, such as recovering lost partition and power-off protecting function. These reasons may be able to attract you.

Many of us having many local drive partitions in our PC. There are lot of valuable and important data in those drives.   So, in many case we want to hide some data from others to

avoid unwanted access.

     In that case, it will not provide more security to hide a folder. Any one can easily view those hidden folders. So, it would be better to hide an entire hard disk partition from others to get a better security. Yes, this is possible in all versions of Windows.

     There are many third party tools are there in net to hide a partition. But, Windows have a powerful option to hide a partition rather than any other tools. We just use command prompt (DOS) to perform this operation. Just do the following steps…

1. Open the Run box by typing Winkey + R or Start->Run
   
2. Type “cmd” in the Run box. (Without quotes)
   
3. The command prompt will be open. Then type “diskpart” and hit Enter. (Without quotes)
   
4. Then type “list volume”. (Without quotes) Now, it will display all the disk partitions of your PC. (See below image)
   
5. Then type the drive letter which you want to hide and hit Enter. (“F” is used in the image) Then the entered volume will be selected.
   
6. Then type “remove letter f” (Without quotes) and hit Enter. (Replace “f” with your drive letter)
   
7. That’s it, you have done, your partition was hidden. Then just restart your system once to better performance.

A few years ago, it seemed disk space woes were firmly behind us. Desktop drives offered terabytes of storage for almost-pocket-money prices, and even mid-range laptops came with hundreds of gigabytes of capacity.

Yet today many of us are feeling the squeeze. We’re building up ever-larger libraries of photos and movies, and at the same time, PCs and tablets have moved from mechanical drives to faster – but much smaller – solid-state disks. Modern desktop systems tend to come with a secondary mechanical disk for data storage, but compact laptops and tablets simply don’t have the space for a second hard disk. You’re left with as little as 64GB of solid-state storage in total, which in practice leaves very little room for your data.

There are ways to make space, however. On these pages we’ll show you how to squeeze the most out of a small hard disk, find and eliminate unnecessary files, and reduce the amount of space Windows itself demands. You may be surprised at how much space can be freed up with a bit of smart housekeeping.

Before you start to delete files, it’s worth seeing whether you can make more of the capacity of the drive itself. A system that’s been in use for some time could well contain one or more unneeded partitions – perhaps an old Ubuntu installation, or, if you’re using a MacBook, a Boot Camp partition. Such partitions can be easily deleted, and their space reclaimed. Many devices also come with a recovery partition, which you may choose to remove. This isn’t a decision to take lightly, though.

To delete a partition, you’ll want to use the Disk Management console. To find it, search Windows for “Create and format hard disk partitions”: in the window that opens, click on your system disk in the top pane and look at its layout in the bottom pane. If you see an unwanted partition, simply right-click and select “Delete volume…” to remove it. Then, to assimilate the space you’ve just freed up into your main Windows disk, right-click on your system partition, select “Extend volume…” and choose the maximum extension available.

A few caveats are necessary. It goes without saying that before deleting a partition you should make absolutely certain you don’t need its contents. Once you’ve subsumed the space into your main system partition, there’s no easy way to recover the data it contained. We should also point out that all partition operations carry a tiny element of risk: you might want to check your disk for errors before reorganising the partitions, and if you’re using a battery-powered device, make sure it’s connected to the mains power before embarking on any repartitioning tasks.

Restore Tools, a software developer known for its expertise in data recovery technologies and one of the leading suppliers of top-quality data recovery tools for a broad range of mainstream applications, presents a major update of Outlook Restore Toolbox. 

The program is based on a completely new file analysis engine that relies on several intelligent heuristic algorithms that identify the maximum of recoverable data in damaged files and successfully restore them. This Outlook restore solution supports two operating modes: data recovery and conversion. The former allows the user to recover a damaged OST/PST file to Outlook, while the latter can be used for healthy OST/PST storages and exporting their contents to a set of files on the user’s hard drive. 

The converter mode is also intended for converting OST (offline storage) files to the PST format. The product is not limited to recovering messages and attachments only – the scope of recoverable data includes tasks, notes, contacts, journal entries and other standard Outlook items. During the recovery process, the program does not modify damaged source files, thus allowing the user to resort to alternative recovery methods, if necessary. 

“Since Outlook Restore Toolbox has always been high up on our list of best-selling products, the decision to update it with the new core was quite obvious,” commented Senior Product Manager at Outlook Restore.”The result was surprising and inspiring – our benchmarks showed a considerable increase in performance and quality of recovery from severely damaged files that the previous version of the product had problems with.”

With businesses getting to the point where they could no longer operate if certain data sets were even temporarily unavailable, increasing reliance on data is creating new risks. These risks are especially pertinent for smaller businesses, which often do not have the financial and human resources to recover from a serious data loss.

When it comes to data loss, prevention is definitely better than a cure. In fact, once data is gone, a cure is often not an option at all.

Losing valuable data is easy, but luckily, protecting it doesn't have to be hard

There are countless ways data can vanish in an instant, from natural disaster to cyber-attack or even theft. More commonly, something as simple as employee complacency or a power outage can put your operations out of action, and not always just temporarily.

Human error is an inevitable part of any business' operations, and often it is employees that can accidentally become the source of serious data loss. On top of this, with 80 per cent of Australians expected to be using smartphones by 2018, on-the-go data access is something employees demand. Whether stored on a mobile phone, an employee's desktop or email account, on a USB or a file sharing application, crucial company data is left vulnerable.

When data is unavailable, business is slow

Customers in the digital age demand exceptional speed and efficiency from the companies they choose to work with, and expect a seamless experience. Additionally, sales teams are using and viewing customer data regularly, whether to ensure pricing and purchase orders are handled in a timely manner, or as a necessary part of guaranteeing support is provided in real-time. In this landscape, data loss is a serious issue as customers can be lost permanently if subject to unexpected delays or mishaps.

Finally, sophisticated data management and business intelligence solutions mean that highly useful consumer insights can be gained from stored data. Increasingly, the loss of this data can be the difference between a business that truly understands its customers, and one that is in the dark.

Backup and recovery is changing, with the cloud as a driving force

The benefits of cloud computing for SMBs have long been a popular topic for discussion. The cloud can work wonders to reduce costs, simplify asset management and offer greater flexibility than on-premise storage alone. However, there can be financial, stability and security drawbacks to an all-cloud solution; monthly fees can sometimes overtake the purchase price, latency can prevent access to data at crucial times, and most importantly, data stored on someone else's hardware can be compromised.

As a result, SMBs are increasingly looking for hybrid solutions that let them manage their local storage devices and browse content from anywhere, without compromising the security and privacy of knowing they have total control. For important and frequently accessed data, a local storage infrastructure is, and will continue to be, an important element of the overall system, however the cloud is offering new ways for businesses to dramatically increase utilisation and ROI on their data storage and backups.
