Marietta, Ga.-based Blancco U.S., which provides data erasure software, has joined forces with DestructData, North Andover, Mass., a company providing data destruction services, in a partnership designed to expedite the erasure of information on hard drives.
Under the partnership, Blancco’s certified data erasure software will power a series of DestructData erasure appliances for loose drives.
“The technology alliance between Blancco and DestructData is a natural fit, combining Blancco’s industry leading data erasure software brand with DestructData’s extensive experience as the most respected hardware systems integrator in the enterprise data destruction and ITAD (information technology asset disposal) marketplaces,” says Michael Lawlor, president of DestructData. “Recognized globally as the standard in certified data sanitization, Blancco’s software solution will be deployed via DestructData’s powerful, customizable hardware platforms to ensure the highest possible data security for ITADs,” he adds.
According to a news release issued by Blancco, through the partnership, industrial-grade erasure appliances from DestructData will include Blancco’s data erasure software. DestructData will design, assemble, test and deliver the systems, which will remain fully supported with Blancco’s latest erasure software. The software offers detailed reports on hardware health along with proof of erasure, the company says. .
“The Blancco and DestructData collaboration builds on the respective strengths of both companies to provide ITADs a safe, high-speed way to remove information from loose drives,” says Markku Willgren, Blancco president of U.S. operations. “ITADs, along with their customers, will also benefit from auditable erasure reports that are automatically sent to a centralized management console or IT asset tracking system.”
