Kroll Ontrack Launches Hardware Erasure Solution
09 May, 2008 08:42:00
- Degausser Capable of Eliminating Hard Drive Data in Four Seconds -
Sydney – May 9, 2008 – Kroll Ontrack®, the industry’s leading provider of data recovery and legal technologies products and services, today announced Australian availability of Degausser DG.02, a hardware eraser solution capable of eliminating the risk of uncontrolled spread of sensitive information stored on hard drives.
By applying a strong magnetic field, the Degausser erases media in as rapidly as four seconds for a typical hard drive. The erasing is assisted by a bank of sealed lead-acid batteries, which provide the large amount of DC current required. This destroys all information recorded on the unit, including calibration and servo information.
