Dell Inc. Authorizes CBL Data Recovery Technologies To Provide Services For Dell Hardware

Armonk, NY & San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 23, 2004 -

CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. (http://www.cbltech.com), a leading international provider of computer data recovery services, has been authorized by Dell Inc. to perform data recovery services on all Dell hardware worldwide.

Dell users who suffer data loss regardless of location can now contact any CBL facility or authorized partner world wide and arrange to have their media delivered for recovery. CBL offers a free estimate for all recovery jobs regardless of device type or circumstance.

“Often users are scared to send their affected drives for data recovery for fear it will void the manufacturer’s warranty for the entire computer system,” says Bill Margeson, CBL Data Recovery Technologies CEO. “Dell’s stamp of approval means any user of Dell equipment, whether it’s a laptop or an enterprise server, can bring us their affected drives and know Dell will support them even after we’ve done what we have to do to get their data back.”

CBL is seeing is increased recognition from users that proactively safeguarding their data is as necessary purchasing a warranty for the actual equipment and as a result they are looking to vendors for more options and solutions that address data loss scenarios.

“Dell’s authorization to perform data recovery on its hardware not only demonstrates the company’s faith in our expertise as an established, global provider of data recovery services, but is a clear indication that major hardware vendors recognize the need for services such as ours,” adds Margeson. “Customers, regardless of the type of data they have or its purpose, are realizing their data now holds more value than the actual laptop or server on which it resides.”

A leader in its field, CBL is a multinational data recovery organization with facilities in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Barbados, England, Germany, China, Singapore, Japan and Australia. The company has been focused solely on the data recovery market for more than a decade. Through its on-going research and development efforts, CBL has created a library of proprietary processes to successfully recover data from failed PC hard disk drives when all other conventional methods have failed.

Cryptex mobile phone

Cryptex mobile phone

The whole idea of having a Mobile Phone is that it can be used in emergencies. The Cryptex phone is so complex and tough to operate that it would take atleast 4 minutes for a person to dial a number on this Phone. If you want to dial a number, you have to turn the dial of every element to the desired cipher. You have to place the numbers in such a way that the umber you want to dial is in line with the green LED. If you want to hang up the call you turn the first segment to “hang up” (red LED). The phone works without buttons and without a display and based on the old dial phones. Lucky this is only a concept phone it is not going to be release to the consumers.
