Datrium DVX Data Recovery

Datrium DVX is a disaggregated hyperconverged platform that separates compute from persistent storage: virtualization hosts run as Compute Nodes with host-local flash, while Data Nodes hold the persistent copy of the data. When a DVX or DVX 3.x (DVX3) cluster becomes unavailable, the data is spread across nodes in a proprietary layout and standard tools cannot read it.

Datrium was acquired by VMware in 2020, and many DVX deployments — including DVX 3.x — remain in production or have been decommissioned with data still resident on the hardware. WeRecoverData's engineers work with the individual drives from Data Nodes and Compute Nodes, reconstruct the DVX data layout and metadata, and extract virtual machine disks and file-level data. Every case is handled under a comprehensive evaluation before any recovery work begins.

Datrium DVX systems we recover

• DVX Data Nodes — persistent capacity tier holding the durable copy of cluster data.
• DVX Compute Nodes — virtualization hosts with host-local flash used as the performance tier.
• DVX file system & metadata — proprietary log-structured layout, deduplication and compression metadata.
• Backup & replication targets — snapshot, ControlShift and cloud/secondary replication destinations.

Common causes of data loss

• Multiple drive failure in a Data Node
• Node or controller hardware failure
• File system or metadata corruption
• Accidental VM or datastore deletion
• Failed upgrade or decommission
• Power surge or outage

Service options

• In-Lab Recovery — ship Data Node drives, Compute Node flash devices, or full enclosures to one of our lab locations.
• Onsite Recovery — for clusters that cannot leave your data center, our engineers work on your premises.
• Remote Recovery — when the cluster still runs but data is logically inaccessible, we connect over an encrypted channel.
