It's a Wipeout

June 19, 2009:Data cleaning can be managed in accordance with company-wide policy using a new "Data Wiping" tool from Jetico.

IT administrators can surgically remove all traces of selected data on any drive in their network with BCWipe Enterprise, which includes technology for centralised control of data wiping on any network desktop.

It is compatible with systems management software, such as Microsoft SMS and LANDesk, to enforce enterprise-wide data clearing policies and ease administrative tasks.

BCWipe Enterprise can be installed remotely across all desktops to centrally manage media sanitisation policies and data privacy compliance. It can be run as a system service on Microsoft Windows platforms, removing end-user intervention and allowing admin instructions to be carried out precisely as intended. Customer benchmark studies show BCWipe Enterprise with Enforcer technology reduces total cost of ownership by at least 60 percent over three years.

Jetico’s military-grade wiping software complies with the US Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M) standard for overwriting and allows users to permanently erase specific targeted data files on a drive, rather than shred the entire disk. Enterprise admins can use this surgical strike capability for clearing just the contaminated portions of disks and put them back into production quickly.

It offers customised wiping of files, folders, deleted files, free disk space, swap file, empty directory entries and file slacks.
