The first broad-spectrum service lab facility has been opened by Seagate Recovery Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Seagate Technology, at its European headquarters in Amsterdam.

Seagate Recovery Services already operates lab facilities in the US, Canada, Australia and Asia and this is the first of its kind in Europe.

The new facility offers a wide range of services including data migration, eDiscovery, forensics and business continuity and disaster recovery.

Equipped with Class 100 Clean Rooms and Class 10 horizontal flow clean bench environments, the clean-air facilities provide controlled temperature and humidity to protect all recovery equipment and client media from contamination.

"Whether it is a single hard drive, flash, USB, optical, raid system or complex high end tape recovery, we can handle the need," said Kees Nielen, General Manager at the new facility.
