Blancco Targets Data Erasure in Mass Storage Environments
September 2008 by Marc Jacob
Blancco announced the availability of Blancco Data Centre Edition, secure data destruction that also enable safe reuse of the hard drives in mass storage environments. The software can simultaneously erase over two hundred hard drives, offering a safe and cost-effective way to manage IT assets while meeting all major erasure standards for high-end server and storage area network (SAN) environments.
Blancco Data Centre Edition eliminates the need for multiple data erasure products by destroying data on a variety of hardware, including Serial ATA, SAS, SCSI and Fibre Channel disks. Users receive timely status reports, including number of drives with erasure time, chassis type, and serial numbers for follow-up purposes. The software adheres to all major government and military erasure standards, while its ability to erase all data – even on hidden and remapped sectors — meets HIPAA, SOX, GLBA and other regulatory requirements.
In addition, IT staff can benefit from Blancco Data Centre Edition’s ease of use and administration in high-end server environments with a large number of IT assets.
