Action Front Premiers Signal Trace

The leader in resolving business-critical data loss, Action Front, is now developing Signal Trace, and announced that the product has commenced its regular production and that first customer recoveries have already been made with the new drive-independent technology. The new Signal Trace technology recovers data from media that is damaged to a point where no traditional recovery method can be applied.

By replacing the exacting, optimized signal processing and positioning functions of ?hyper-tuned? disk drives with custom hardware, software and algorithms to precisely locate particular sectors of data, Signal Trace? recovers each user bit individually ? independent of the drive?s specific hardware. Emerging from a comprehensive R & D stage, Signal Trace? procedures were successfully applied to recover data from drives experiencing significant drive head degradation. Because conventional internal parts replacement recovery methods would prove insufficient, these hard drives were ideal candidates for Signal Trace? recovery techniques.

Signal Trace? is the result of many years of research and a substantial investment of Action Front resources. Action Front first announced the development of this advanced data recovery procedure and methodology in 2004. From an initial prototype, following extensive testing, Signal Trace? has now been brought into full production. In his white paper entitled ?Recovering Unrecoverable Data, The Need for Drive-Independent Data Recovery,? Charles H. Sobey, Chief Scientist of Channel Science, stated ?Signal Trace? is the only solution known to date that can recover user data from modern previously un-recoverable drives.?
