Data Loss - Recovery Possible?

After an unfortunate series of events I have a VM residing on a Celerra NFS mount that is not accessible.  Stupidly, I was only using snapshots to "protect" this VM.  I am now simply trying to find an answer to the question, is data recovery possible?

The Celerra experienced a sudden power outage and there were a number of hardware component failures upon powering the unit back on - one SPS and one DM had to be replaced.  Our third-party support was able to get all the LUNs back online, but all of the file systems were corrupted - some more so than others.

The VM in question was shut down at the time of the power outage and resided on a set of disks that stored nothing else.  The vmdk file itself is corrupt; I am unable to attach it to another VM nor can I download it via the datastore browser or scp.
