Founded in 2004, Critical Data Services is a business that has been built on strong technical reputation and with a clear focus on service excellence.  Both factors are crucial in maintaining our position as leaders in the area of data recovery and data extraction.

CDS has a proven track record of working with large corporations and consulting firms across Europe offering backup platform migration, tape remediation and tape-to-disk archiving services. Our process allows direct access to legacy backup data and management of backup catalogs, eliminating the dependence on the original backup software vendor.

TOUR OUR STATE OF THE ART DUBLIN BASED DATA RECOVERY LABORATORY

Our philosophy is simple – extract the relevant data from a tapeset as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible. Rather than charging a fixed full-processing fee for each tape that we receive, our process begins by cataloging every tape, and only indexes and extracts from those tapes that are determined to be within scope (as determined from reviewing the catalog).

Our search and de-duplication functionality speeds up data extraction immeasurably, helping to reduce the cost of data extraction.  The de-duplicated data footprint from a typical tapeset is usually only 5-10% of the total data footprint of the tape set.
