Blancco Highlights Role of Data Center Equipment Erasure in Cloud Computing Security with New White Paper
Available online and at Data Center World 2012, white paper describes importance of erasing hardware in the cloud, including physical and logical drives, storage systems and targeted files
Data Center World 2012, LAS VEGAS, March 19, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
With continued adoption of public, private and hybrid cloud computing solutions, 92%
of key IT decision makers in a recent corporate survey indicated that they intend to
pursue data center projects in 2012.[1] As data related to these projects proliferates,
there is a growing need for technologies that efficiently and effectively secure
information on data center equipment. In a new white paper

, titled "Data Erasure Solutions for Data Center and
Cloud Computing Security," Blancco [http://www.blancco.com ], the global leader in data
erasure and computer reuse solutions, highlights the importance of certified, auditable
and automated data erasure in protecting information on equipment slated for reuse or
retirement.
"Data centers are complex hardware environments, with equally complex data erasure
needs," said Markku Willgren, President, US Operations, for Blancco. "By providing
centralized, automated data removal for a wide range of hardware, certified data erasure
ensures efficient operations while protecting both information and investments in costly
data center equipment that can be reused or resold. It also provides a detailed erasure
report, which is essential for working in industries that operate under a growing number
of standards and regulations, such as HIPAA in healthcare and PCI DSS in retail."
Attendees of Data Center World 2012, held March 18-22 at the Mirage Hotel and Event
Center in Las Vegas, can obtain a copy of the new white paper at Booth 630. Blancco will
showcase its diverse solutions for automating erasure of data center equipment in various
physical and logical scenarios, as described in the white paper
