Data recovery on Cisco servers

We have a department dedicated to recovering data from Cisco Systems servers

Data recovery on Cisco servers is a complex but crucial task for companies that rely on these solutions to manage their IT infrastructure. Cisco servers, such as the UCS (Unified Computing System) and HyperFlex models, are designed to offer high availability and performance. However, hardware failures, human error and cyber attacks can result in the loss of important data.

Effective data recovery starts with understanding the causes that can lead to information loss. Among the main ones are:

  • Hardware failure: Even with the high quality of Cisco components, hardware failures such as damaged hard disks, corrupted RAID controllers and power supply failures can compromise data integrity.
    • Recovery Challenge: Recovering data on RAID controllers requires specialized knowledge to reconstruct volumes without causing additional loss.
  • Human Error: Wrong settings and accidental deletions are common causes of data loss.
    • Recovery Challenge: When data is deleted or volumes are formatted, recovery requires specific tools to restore the information without damaging the existing environment.
  • Cyber attacks: Cisco servers can be the target of ransomware attacks, which encrypt stored data.
    • Recovery Challenge: Decrypting data encrypted by ransomware is complex and requires advanced knowledge of the cryptography used by the attackers.
  • Software failures: Poorly applied updates and bugs in operating systems can cause failures that result in data loss.
    • Recovery Challenge: Recovery in these cases can involve rebuilding corrupted systems and restoring backups.

There are various strategies and solutions available for recovering data from Cisco servers, depending on the type of failure and the storage environment. Digital Recovery offers safe and tested solutions for server data recovery, talk to our experts now.

Why Digital Recovery?

Digital Recovery has been operating in the data recovery market for over two decades. We specialize in disaster recovery and can recover data from HPE servers.

We have the technology to recover data on highly complex systems, such as RAID systems, storages (NAS, DAS, SAN), databases, virtual machines, among others.

To further guarantee security, we provide a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), thus placing all information about the process under contractual confidentiality.

We can carry out the recovery remotely, in many cases our experts will be on hand to help throughout the process, from the first contact to the approval of the recovered data.

Data loss on servers is critical due to the potential for paralysis of a company’s entire processes. For this reason, we have developed recovery in emergency mode, in which case our laboratories operate with 24×7 availability.

Answers from our experts

What are the main causes of data loss on Cisco servers?

Data loss in Cisco servers can be caused by various factors, ranging from hardware failures to cyberattacks.
  1. Hardware Failures (Disks, RAID Controllers, etc.)
    Cisco servers often use RAID arrays for redundancy and data security. However, even RAID systems can fail, especially when:

    • Multiple disks fail simultaneously
    • RAID controller errors occur
    • Issues arise during RAID configuration (e.g., incorrect rebuilds)

    These failures may result from disk wear, power outages, or even a lack of preventive maintenance on the servers.

  2. Data Corruption in File Systems
    Data corruption can occur due to file system or database failures on the servers. Common causes include:

    • Unexpected power outages
    • Operating system update failures (e.g., Cisco UCS)
    • Misconfigured snapshots or backups

    When file system corruption occurs, the server may struggle to access data, resulting in partial or total loss.

  3. Ransomware and Malware Attacks
    Cisco servers can become targets for cyberattacks, such as ransomware, which encrypt stored data. Many companies fall victim to these attacks due to:

    • Improperly open ports (e.g., RDP, SSH)
    • Weak or compromised credentials
    • Failure to apply security updates (patches)

    These attacks can affect critical files and entire databases, leading to significant data loss and service downtime.

  4. Human Errors
    Many instances of data loss occur due to mistakes made by system administrators, such as:

    • Incorrect RAID or Cisco UCS Manager configuration
    • Accidental deletion of VMs, files, or storage volumes
    • RAID rebuilds without prior backups

    These errors can be catastrophic, especially when adequate backups are not in place.

  5. Failures in Network or Connected Storage Devices (SAN/NAS)
    Cisco servers are often connected to network storage systems (SAN/NAS). Communication problems with these devices can lead to data loss. This can happen due to:

    • Network switch failures
    • Issues with cables or connections
    • Incorrect LUN or shared volume configurations

    Such failures can result in the server losing access to critical data.

  6. Unsuccessful Firmware Updates
    Cisco UCS servers require regular firmware updates. However, poorly executed updates can cause critical failures, such as:

    • Loss of system configuration
    • Hardware incompatibility
    • System boot failures

    If firmware becomes corrupted during an update, the server may become inaccessible

How do I recover data from RAID controllers on Cisco servers?

Recovering RAID controllers requires experience to avoid additional data loss when rebuilding volumes. With more than 25 years’ experience in the data recovery market, we have developed unique solutions for RAID recovery that can rebuild the RAID array safely and efficiently, regardless of which RAID level is being used.

Is it possible to recover deleted virtual machines on Cisco servers?

Yes, it is possible to recover deleted virtual machines on Cisco servers. Using specialized tools, it is possible to reconstruct virtual disk files such as VMDK or VHD and restore VMs with a high success rate, minimizing data loss.

Latest insights from our experts

What you need to know

The main scenarios include:

  • Hardware failure: Damage to hard disks, SSDs or RAID controllers.
  • Human error: Accidental deletion of files or partitions.
  • File system corruption: Problems with NTFS, ext4, ZFS and other systems.
  • Ransomware attacks: Data encryption by malware.
  • Logical failures: Boot errors or inaccessible partitions due to software problems.
  • Electrical failures: Overvoltage or abrupt loss of power.

Recovery in RAID systems is complex and depends on the RAID level:

  • RAID 0: It is difficult to recover data due to the lack of redundancy, but it is possible to reconstruct fragments of the data with specialized tools.
  • RAID 1: As the data is mirrored, recovery takes place from the intact disk.
  • RAID 5/6: Advanced techniques are applied to reconstruct lost data using parity information.
  • It is essential to identify the correct order of disks, RAID parameters (stripe size, parity) and avoid rewriting data on the array during the process.
  • Don’t take hasty action: Avoid repeated reboots or the use of inappropriate tools, which can overwrite data.
  • Prior analysis: Carry out diagnostics to identify physical or logical faults.
  • Create disk images: Work on copies of the original devices to protect the remaining data.
  • Check the type of RAID: The recovery procedure varies depending on the configuration of the array.
  • Safe environment: Keep devices in controlled conditions to prevent further damage.

The main challenges include:

  • Complexity of virtualized systems: Recovering data from VMs in Hyper-V, VMware or Proxmox requires identifying inaccessible VHD, VMDK or raw files.
  • Simultaneous failure: Problems in the hypervisor or physical storage can corrupt several VMs at the same time.
  • Corrupted snapshots: Corrupt snapshots make it difficult to restore to previous states.
  • Deduplication and encryption: Advanced storage technologies complicate the recovery of individual data.

We can detect, contain, eradicate, and recover data after cyber attacks.
