Case Study: Large International Aircraft & Charter Business Company achieves rapid recovery and database restoration after malicious datacenter attack with DatAvail

Large International Aircraft & Charter Business Recovers from Large-scale Malicious Attack on its Datacenters

Large International Aircraft & Charter Business Company suffered a malicious datacenter-level attack that corrupted and encrypted its Oracle binaries and databases, disabled the listener, and left no workable backups. DatAvail, which already supported the customer’s SQL Server environment, was engaged to recover the Oracle environment and restore operations.

DatAvail installed matching Oracle binaries, reassociated instance services, rebuilt listeners, and used the intact data/control/redo files to start and migrate the databases to new servers and a UNIX-based cloud, re-establishing hybrid Oracle–SQL Server connectivity. DatAvail restored all databases with minimal downtime so the Large International Aircraft & Charter Business Company could resume normal operations and avoid large-scale data loss, and delivered recommendations for stronger backups, monitoring (e.g., OEM), and tighter server access controls.
