Ontrack has announced it can now offer data recovery services that are compatible with Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows Vista, on sale to consumers at the end of this month,

Ontrack data recovery services are used by companies and consumers to recover lost or corrupted data from virtually all operating systems and types of storage devices.

This can either be carried out by a consumer at home or companies in-house using  Ontrack Remote Data Recovery software downloaded to their computer or servers. Alternatively the company offers in-house laboratory recovery services.

To ensure that its recovery services meet the needs of new Vista users, Ontrack has been working with Microsoft since 2005 during the operating system's early beta trials.

Phil Bridge, managing director for Ontrack UK said: "Whenever Microsoft brings new technology to the marketplace, it is imperative that we enhance our recovery capabilities to ensure the highest quality recovery solutions are available to every computer user.

"Our engineering team has been working with both Vista and Exchange Server 2007 since early beta testing in 2005, so we’re confident that we can handle any recovery challenge – from home users to the largest corporations ­– with these new technologies."
