With our team's extensive knowledge of various SAN (Storage Area Network) architectures, we ensure successful data recovery, regardless of your system's brand or configuration.
Stellar has in-depth expertise in recovering data from SAN storage systems, which requires knowledge across several specialized areas to effectively retrieve lost data. Our knowledge base includes the following key areas:
SAN Architecture and Configuration
We understand the layout and design of SAN, including the types of storage devices, switches, and how data is mapped across the network. Additionally, we have expertise in RAID configurations (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), as many SANs use RAID for redundancy and performance.
Storage Protocols
Our team is well-versed in storage protocols such as Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet). These protocols are essential for understanding how data flows between servers and storage devices within a SAN.
File Systems and Volume Management
We possess extensive knowledge of various file systems (e.g., NTFS, ext4, VMFS) and volume managers used in SAN environments. We understand how data is stored on logical volumes and have the expertise to manage disk arrays effectively.
Backup and Snapshots
Our understanding of backup technologies, including snapshot management, enables us to identify available backup points. Many SANs implement snapshots or replication for data protection, and we are equipped to work with these technologies during the recovery process.
Data Integrity
We conduct thorough data integrity checks to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the recovered data. Our advanced techniques guarantee that all files are restored to their original state, providing you with reliable results.
Networking Concepts
As SANs are networked storage systems, we have strong knowledge of networking concepts, such as IP addressing, VLANs, and network segmentation. This expertise helps us troubleshoot communication or connectivity issues within the SAN environment.
In summary, effective SAN storage data recovery requires a combination of expertise in storage architecture, networking, data management, backup technologies, and troubleshooting. Our deep understanding of specific SAN environments ensures that we can recover your critical data efficiently and successfully.

Unmatched Successes in Complex SAN Data Recovery Scenarios
Trust Stellar To Tackle Critical Data Loss Challenges In Any SAN Environment
Our SAN Server Data Recovery services cater to a wide range of manufacturers. While each device has its unique architectures and data recovery challenges, we've developed specialized techniques to address the specific issues common to major SAN server brands.
Synology DiskStation Recovery
A Synology DiskStation DS412+ with a physically damaged HDD posed a significant challenge. We successfully recovered data by implementing advanced disk imaging techniques and reconstructing the RAID array virtually. This process required precise handling of the damaged drive and expert knowledge of Synology's file system structure.
NetApp Server WAFL Recovery
A NetApp Server experiencing Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) inconsistencies required specialized recovery methods. We developed custom tools to analyze and repair the WAFL structure and focused on data integrity throughout the recovery process. This case demonstrated our deep understanding of NetApp's proprietary file system.
HPE StoreEasy Virtual Machine Recovery
An HPE StoreEasy NAS configured with RAID 5 failed and jeopardized critical virtual machines. Our team employed advanced RAID reconstruction techniques and VM-aware recovery methods to extract and restore the virtual machines. This process involved careful handling of both the RAID structure and the virtualization layer.
Specialized Recovery Solutions for Leading SAN Server Brands
Expert Data Retrieval Across Diverse SAN Server Architectures
Our SAN Server Data Recovery services cater to a wide range of manufacturers. While each device has its unique architectures and data recovery challenges, we've developed specialised techniques to address the specific issues common to major SAN server brands.
NetApp Server Recovery
NetApp systems are known for their WAFL file system and complex RAID implementations. Our experts can diagnose and resolve issues such as physical drive failures, power supply malfunctions, and controller problems. We've developed custom tools to navigate NetApp's proprietary structures. This ensures successful data recovery even in cases of severe RAID failures or system crashes.
Dell EMC Data Retrieval

FAQs
A storage area network or SAN is a high-speed network that offers access to storage devices. SAN has evolved out of older mainframes where clients could connect to several servers. SAN does not use ethernet but Infiniband, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel.
- SAN works at very high speed using fibre channels.
- SAN can connect to magnetic tape, CD towers, disk array, and offer single point I/O.
- Use of SAN reduces overall cost of data storage and management because it is simple and easily learned.
SAN system requires host bus adapters, fibre optic cables, switches, and disk arrays. Small SAN systems could be built for less than a hundred thousand dollars making them an attractive proposition for small enterprises.
SAN is not connected to the internet in any way. NAS or Network-Attached Storage is part of a Wide Area Network and susceptible to malware.
Typically it begins at 4 Gbps and can be as high as 128 Gbps.
Since SAN uses a block based storage model (like the cloud) instead of a file storage model, it can be scaled up quickly if need arises. SAN architecture is scalable and quick.
Our experts will:
- Ask questions about hardware, software, and configuration
- Assess the damage and risks
- Offer tips to minimise ongoing data loss
- Find out of remote data recovery can work
- Provide instructions about in-lab services
View event logs regularly. Keep an eye on key metrics including throughput, CPU usage, utilisation, error rate, and uptime. You could also use server monitoring tools such as SolarWinds or use the one provided by the manufacturer.
Both are high-capacity storage. A NAS uses ethernet and is relatively simple to set up, maintain and operate. More or less anyone who can maintain a laptop can also maintain a NAS with little training. A SAN is more complex due to the use of protocols other than TCP/IP.
If the hard disk is damaged the data recovery might not be perfect. If any other component (outside those that store data) went wrong the data recovery is usually 100%.
