Daxten: Degausser ProDevice ASM240

For data deletion on magnetic media in half minute

Over the years and with the obligation to archive important company data, companies sometimes accumulate tens, hundreds or even thousands of data carriers with sensitive data. This mountain of data also piles up with backup storage media and data carriers containing temporary information. Depending on the type and nature of the data, these either must be disposed of immediately or disposed of only after a certain minimum storage period, they then cannot be taken to the recycling center – and that’s a good thing. The destruction must be in accordance with various security regulations and corresponding documentation requirements. It is helpful if you have a solution for data destruction to hand that carries out the deletion quickly, securely and transparently.

Daxten Degausser

The Degausser ProDevice ASM240, available from Daxten GmbH, makes short work of the data destruction on magnetic media: a magnetic field of up to 20,000 gauss ensures that the data is irretrievably destroyed within less than 30s. The process of data deletion is monitored and logged.

The functional process of the degausser can be summed up in a formula: load it up, insert the data carrier and let the cycle start, scan the serial number and document everything by using the mobile app.

The whole process takes between 17 or 30s, depending on whether you are using the ASM240+ or ASM240 product variant. The app takes photos or films and records what type of media was deleted, the time of destruction, information about the operator and the serial number of the destroyed component. In addition, the result of the deletion process is determined and classified. Depending on the requirements, the number of deletion cycles can be specified using a web-based tool using PPMS (Pre-Paid Management System) technology.

The “appetite” of the degausser for almost any kind of magnetic medium is practical. It can be used for 2.5 or 3.5 inch HDDs as well as LTO, DLT, SDLT, DDS, DAT tape drives , AIT, Travan, SLR, QIC, 3592, 3590E, 3490E, 3480, 9840, 9940 and T10K. The contents of audio and video cassettes and 3.5-inch computer disks can also be reliably and irreversibly erased.

To ensure that each deletion can be carried out in accordance with the applicable security standards and norms, the ASM240 products work according to the guidelines of the ISO 27001 standard and are therefore a solution for institutions and companies that want to ensure the protection of confidential data within the framework of the GDPR.
