4 Total data erasure Complete data erasure solutions that permanently remove all data from physical devices. PCs & Laptops Blancco 4 is designed to erase all data securely from PCs and laptops meeting the needs of organizations managing multiple storage devices. This fully automated and centrally managed solution provides cutting-edge efficiency and productivity to erase all types of hard drives so they can be safely reused, resold, or disposed of. Solid State Drives Solid State Drives (SSD) can be detected and securely erased with Blancco s multi-layered erasure method. Blancco software fully automates the removal of freeze locks. providing access to the key security features of an SSD. Servers Blancco 4 is a fast, effective and 100% secure erasure solution for complex server environments with detailed, gapless audit reporting meeting and exceeding all compliance and regulatory requirements. Our extensive server support guarantees high-speed simultaneous erasure of multiple hard disks of any size. Data Centers/SPARC Blancco 4 is designed for erasure in mass storage environments to securely wipe data center equipment, enclosures and other large storage units. These solutions offer extensive hardware support, including pass-through and dismantling for RAID arrays. High speed simultaneous erasure of multiple hard drives contributes to an efficient erasure process. Blancco SPARC offers extensive SCSI and Fiber Channel HBA support. Mobile Blancco Mobile is designed to securely erase the internal and external memory of both smartphones and tablets. Restoring factory settings does not ensure that data is permanently destroyed, because data can still be recovered afterwards. With Blancco Mobile, all user data such as s, contacts and text messages are permanently erased. Flash Media Blancco Flash will ensure data erasure of all digital storage media before disposal. It permanently erases data from solid-state removable media such as USB thumb drives, Secure Digital memory cards, CompactFlash cards, Microdrives and other flash memory storage devices. 4 UK_whitepaper-revised.indd 4 2/5/14 11:36 AM

5 Selective data erasure Data erasure solutions for specific files, folders, virtual machines, virtual drives or segments of data that need to be erased. Files & Folders Blancco File can securely destroy individual files and folders and is ideal for removing confidential data such as credit card details, confidential customer information and internal offices documents. Blancco File safely shreds selected or targeted files and folders on PCs, servers and virtual machines with easy-to-manage automatic and manual overwriting routines. LUNs Blancco LUN allows data storage administrators to securely erase segments of data in active storage environments. This includes logical units in virtualized environments or any type of drive supported by UNIX or Windows operating systems. The erasure process can be scheduled to run on demand to suit an organization s requirements. VMware VMware virtualization environment solutions On demand and full integration data erasure solutions for both virtual machines and virtual drives. Today s Software-Defined Data Centres contain a significantly higher number of Virtual Machines than physical servers. These Virtual Machines require the same level of security as physical machines to ensure full data protection. Virtual machines can be securely erased manually on demand, automated through scripting, or by full integration with the VMware vcloud Suite. The data from removed Virtual Machines is still recoverable from the underlying storage unless a secure erasure has been performed. Blancco s VMware virtualization environment solutions provide: Proactive data leak prevention 100% secure data end-of-life assurance Full compliance with company policy, customer demand and government legislation Detailed reports for a transparent audit trail Our software is used by Software-Defined Data Centres, Cloud providers and private companies worldwide to meet virtualization erasure demands. Blancco is a member of VMware s TAP (Technology Alliance Partner) program. Erasure is possible from vsphere Hypervisor (ESXi), vcenter Server and VCloud Director VMware levels. 5 UK_whitepaper-revised.indd 5 2/5/14 11:36 AM

6 Blancco s Erase-Report-Audit (ERA) Process Erasure of your data is important, but proof of the erasure is even more critical. Blancco s unique and complete Erase-Report-Audit (ERA) process generates a detailed report at the end of the erasure process. With it, you can confidently conduct a complete audit of the erasure. Reports verify successful erasure No erasure is secure if it does not offer proof of successful execution as required by regulations. Blancco s detailed audit reports meet and even exceed all compliance and regulatory requirements for data erasure. Certificate of Erasure Comprehensive digitally signed certificates of erasure are automatically generated after each and every erasure. Certificates can be customized to include a company name or technician along with free fields for any other information required for auditing T09:10: , BLANCCO , SUN MICROSYSTEMS, SUN FIRE(TM) X2100, 0633TU T09:10: , BLANCCO , SUN MICROSYSTEMS, SUN FIRE(TM) X2100, 0633TU4068 ERASURE REPORT ERASURE REPORT Operator information Operator information Licensed to: Licensed to: Custom fields Custom fields Customer: Machine Grade: Customer: Machine Grade: Customer Ltd.
