QSGI Develops Breakthrough Process to Quickly Erase Data on Enterprise Storage Systems from Manufacturers Such As IBM, EMC, HP, Hitachi, Dell, and Sun

New on-site process can provide data centers the ability to ensure data security without compromising the value of the equipment


HIGHTSTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QSGI, Inc. (OTCBB: QSGI - News) the only data security and regulatory compliance provider offering a full suite of life-cycle services for a corporation's entire IT platform, today announced that it has developed a breakthrough in its audit and data erasure process which allows its data security and compliance division to quickly and efficiently audit and erase tens or hundreds of drives in enterprise storage arrays from major OEMs, including IBM, EMC, HP, Hitachi, Dell, and Sun. This new process has the flexibility to audit and completely erase all IDE, SCSI, Fiber Channel, SSA/SAS and SATA drives, at speeds up to 4 terabytes of data per hour. With this high speed bulk storage array erasure offering, QSGI is now providing for its clients on-site directly at their data centers, its complete suite of data security & regulatory compliance services including comprehensive asset management reporting, re-marketing, and complete data security.


QSGI CEO Marc Sherman noted, "QSGI now has the ability to simultaneously erase tens, or even hundreds, of hard drives in storage systems as fast as a single drive. We can readily achieve an outstanding sanitizing speed of 1 terabyte of data in only 15 minutes, while offering data centers complete data security and regulatory compliance at their facilities, while preserving the integrity of the owned or leased hardware for subsequent full re-marketing value recovery. This is especially important for machines that need to be returned to leasing companies in the same condition as when they were shipped new."
