Specific features and functionality of Ontrack Eraser 4.0 include:

  • VMware Drive Wiping Capabilities: The ability to delete data from VMware machines, ensuring corporations are securely deleting data from their virtual environments and therefore addressing the complete scope of their IT environment.
  • Enhanced System Performance: The enhanced capacity to perform over 200 concurrent device erasures to ensure the largest enterprise jobs are handled efficiently.
  • Enhanced System Reporting: New reports that denote the hard drive make, serial number and model number, as well as the wipe algorithm applied to accomplish the job, providing corporations with the appropriate records for recycling centers and compliance requests.
  • Security and Central Management Capabilities: New system authentication functionality to validate the erasure is conducted in the correct manner by the appropriate individual.

Data wiping is fundamental to complying with laws and regulations regarding data retention and privacy and reducing the risk of security breaches. The advanced capabilities of Ontrack Eraser 4.0  enable enterprises to build a fully automated, efficient and cost-effective wipe process for a large number of devices.

 “At Alternativ Data, we needed a robust software tool that could handle wiping 18,000 used drives annually, so we could resell those drives afterwards,” said Ståle Hagen-Arnsen, logistics and security manager, Alternativ Data. “Ontrack Eraser does just that for us. It enables us to wipe a very large number of drives efficiently, while also providing detailed reports that confirm which drives were wiped and when.”
