The primary purpose of FDRERASE/OPEN is to erase data from
enterprise disk storage systems (i.e. large scale storage systems with
one or more hard disks containing system and user data) that an
organization may be scrapping or decommissioning, selling or returning,
reusing for a different purpose within the organization. It is also used
when an organization is leaving a recovery site, e.g. after a disaster
recovery test, to prevent any access to any data that may reside on
the disk storage system leaving their control. FDRERASE/OPEN
accomplishes erasure by overwriting, to destroy any data residing on
the disk storage system making it no longer accessible. The disk erasure
techniques provided by FDRERASE/OPEN offer successively higher levels of data erasure security
by overwriting once or, as appropriate, by overwriting multiple times using multiple data patterns and
complements of those patterns, using suitable internal functions to insure data is physically written to
disk and to confirm that erasure did take place.
- Securely overwrites all data on physical or logical drives.
- Erases any disk that can be attached to an Intel (x86) or compatible platform, SCSI or
FIBRE attached.
- Automatically detects all attached disks, but allows you to easily select only the disks that you
want to be erased.
- Operates from a bootable CD.
- All options and history are kept on a USB memory stick.
- The SECUREERASE option, which meets all US Department of Defense (DoD) standards for
data erasure, overwrites with varying complementary patterns (from 3 to 8 passes per block).
- The VERIFY option verifies that disks have been successfully erased (i.e. they contain patterns
written for auditing purposes by FDRERASE/OPEN).
- Permanent HISTORY RECORD of all action taken by FDRERASE/OPEN to satisfy any audit requirements.
There is a series of function icons near the top of the screen, as shown in the example below.
Most of these functions can also be invoked from the pull-down menus, such as the “Action”
menu, but using the icons is more convenient. The icons/functions are:
