Since the establishment of operations in the United Kingdom in 2000, CBL
Data Recovery Technologies Limited has experienced a growing demand for its data
recovery services and expertise. With CBL's expanding network of partners
throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, individuals, corporations and small
and medium-sized enterprises depend on CBL to recover lost data as a result of
hardware failure, natural disaster, software malfunction, virus contamination,
or human error. Headquartered in Newcastle, CBL's UK data recovery laboratory
operates a Class 100 clean room environment to ensure the integrity of hard
drives and data throughout the recovery process. CBL also has a customer
service centre in London and can be found on the web at www.cbltech.co.uk.

- editor's comments:- the Data Recovery market is a difficult one for vendors
to operate in because no-one wants (or plans) to be a customer in this segment.
It's only
when
disaster strikes that most customers investigate this subject.
In July 2008 CBL introduced a new business model for this market - the
CBL Data Recovery Service Protection Plan - which provides 3 years of unlimited
data recovery coverage of a working new hard drive for $99.99.
You
could argue that if users thought ahead they would spend their money on backups.
But backups frequently go wrong - or can be affected by the same common mode
failures which render the original data media unreadable (fire, flood, virus
etc).
It will be interesting to see how successful the new business
model is - and (if so) how long it will be before it gets copied. |
