Logicube Launching 8-Target HDD Wiper

Logicube Inc. has added the ZX-Tower (also known as ZX-T), an 8-target, HDD wiper, to its line of solutions.

“The ZX-T delivers extremely fast performance at 24GB/mn in an easy-to-use interface that makes it simple to operate,” commented Farid Emrani, president and CEO, Logicube. “Stringent compliance regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley have made it imperative for corporations of all sizes to ensure that sensitive data on HDDs is securely erased before re-purposing or disposal.“

This solution provides built-in support for SAS and SATA HDDs. It also supports USB enclosures with four USB 3.0 ports available. IDE drives are supported using optional adapters. Optional adapters are also available to support other drive interfaces including ZIF, mSATA, microSATA, eSATA and flash media. Network connectivity is available with the ZX-T, allowing users to connect to a network and remote control the ZX-T via a web browser.

“Allowing users to wipe up to 8 drives at a time, the ZX-T is a time-saver for production environments, repair depots, service/support organizations and digital forensic customers who need to reuse drives for evidence collection. The ZX-T features cable-free slide-in bays that provide fast insertion and removal of HDDs to streamline the entire process,” commented Emrani.

The ZX-T allows organizations to comply with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-88 Guidelines for media sanitization. The unit can sanitize HDDs using a secure erase mode, a custom pass setting or a 7-pass DoD wipe mode. Users can utilize the task macro feature to perform a Gutmann 35 pass wipe for maximum security. The ZX-T provides log reports on each wipe operation. Logs can be exported to HTML, XML or PDF format. The unit has a sleek, space-saving tower design.

The ZX-Tower provides IT professionals in corporate and manufacturing environments the ability to erase HDD data.

The company will begin shipping the ZX-T mid-July 2014.
