Security concerns are forcing more and more companies to erase the information contained on their hard disk drives inside their walls before releasing them.  This can be challenging for many companies to accomplish thoroughly and quickly.  Most companies are not aware of the options available.  Even fewer have the necessary hardware and software to accomplish this task.  They are therefore looking to outsource this service.

Tabernus provides many options for the erasure of hard disk drives on-site at a customer location.  Whether its loose hard drives, storage towers full of drives, or laptops and desktops with hard drives inside, a solution is available.  Tabernus can arrive on-site with any or all of their three major products lines and erase drives quickly and completely.

One of the most requested services is the erasure of hard drives comprising a storage tower or storage shelves.  Tabernus can arrive on site and erase the drives in the storage tower using their Enterprise Erase Array software/hardware appliance.  This device enables direct connection to the shelves in the storage tower, allowing the user access to the drives contained in these shelves.  Each drive can then be erased without removal from the tower.   Most towers can be erased in one business day.

Erasure of drives in storage towers is far from the only situation with which customers need solutions.  Another is the batches of laptops and desktops that require data sanitization before they are donated or returned at the end of lease.  Tabernus can erase these assets in large batches using Enterprise Erase LAN.  By setting up a local sub-net, large batches of these assets (up to 200) can be erased simultaneously.

Some companies also have batches of loose hard drives stored away, waiting to be erased.  Tabernus can arrive at a site and erase them using Tabernus designed hardware and software appliances.  The workhorse of this group is the E800 Digital Eraser.  It can erase any type of loose drive (SCSI, FC, SATA, IDE, SAS) in batches of eight at a time.

So whether there are hard disk drives in storage towers, laptops and desktops, or just loose hard drives of any type, Tabernus can provide on-site service to erase any of the data contained on them, quickly and completely.  Learn more Click Here
