DATA DESTRUCTION SIMPLIFIED

Data sanitization is the process of permanently deleting or destroying data from a storage device to ensure it cannot be recovered. In today’s digital landscape, the protection of sensitive information has become paramount for businesses.

WipeOS, a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for data wiping, offers seamless integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, providing comprehensive data management and enhanced operational efficiency. This article explores the benefits of integrating WipeOS with popular ERP solutions such as IQReseller, NetSuite, Makor, and Asana.

Ask most people on the street what the difference is between data wiping and data erasure, and you will most likely receive a blank stare or a shoulder roll. But in the world of data security, the differences can be legally significant.
Both data wiping and data erasure are methods that are commonly used to delete data from storage drives such as physical hard drives, solid-state drives, USB drives, and/or memory cards.

Effective March 31st 2023 we will no longer support version 2.4.10 and older. Beginning April 1st, 2023, WipeOS will only support version 2.4.11 and greater. If you are at software version 2.4.11 or greater there is no need to upgrade.

It’s funny that client’s are still requesting a three-pass wipe (DoD wipe) of their hard drives because they believe that a 3-pass wipe must be better than a 1-pass. The thought was that if it was good enough for the Department of Defense, it must be the best solution.

WipeOS was one of the first to unlock the latest M.2 NVMe SSD devices. These Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is an open, logical-device interface specification for accessing a computer’s non-volatile storage media usually attached via PCI Express bus. These are Solid State storage devices, which do not use the ATA or SAS protocols. They speak directly over PCI, no translation needed. This leads to much higher speeds and bandwidth.

WipeOS supports all of the most common storage devices. Two that we see very often are the SATA and SAS drives.

WipeOS reports all pertinent details of the hard drive before the wipe begins. This can help businesses determine if a drive is being wiped for security and compliance reasons or for reuse and resale.

We recently added the ability to format a drive after it has been wiped. This can be used to add value to the process.
