Kroll Ontrack Intros 1st Independent Data Recovery Solution for Oracle Database

Kroll Ontrack, a provider of data recovery and legal technologies products and services, this week unveiled an improved version of its Ontrack Data Recovery service with capabilities beyond Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and SQL databases to now include independent support for Oracle systems.

According to a statement released by Kroll Ontrack, this enhanced support will provide Oracle-using enterprises with a viable, cost-effective, alterative expert resource when a data loss situation ensues on an Oracle database.

Database data loss scenarios can include anything from RAID or hardware failures to internal database corruptions and deleted database entries. With in-lab, remote and on-site data recovery service options, Kroll Ontrack has the ability to perform just-in-time service to accommodate virtually any and every Oracle database recovery situation. The company also offers round-the-clock customer service in 14 languages as well as real-time tracking of job progress through its Ontrack Online™ application.

“According to a 2008 IDC analyst report, Oracle owns 44 percent of the database market,” said Jeff Pederson, manager of data recovery operations for Kroll Ontrack.

“This offering directly addresses the fact that there are hundreds of large enterprises using Oracle databases and data loss scenarios can be very detrimental to the productivity and livelihood of these businesses. With Kroll Ontrack, Oracle administrators have a trusted, experienced data recovery expert to turn to.”

In addition to enhanced recovery capabilities for Oracle systems, Kroll Ontrack has also built post recovery applications that will insert the recovered data back into an existing Oracle database while maintaining original table structure and other important metadata. This complete approach to the recovery process saves precious time for system administrators and users, and helps them to get back to their data as quickly as possible.
