According to the vendor, this software offers a range of features and functionalities to meet the needs of businesses of various sizes.

Key Features

Array Erase: According to the vendor, Array Erase is capable of erasing large volumes of individual drives simultaneously, with support for up to 256 hard drives. It allows for hot-swapping of drives during processing and is compatible with various drive types, including ATA, eMMC, FibreChannel, IDE, NVMe, RAID, SAS, SATA, and SCSI.

Simple to Use: The vendor states that Array Erase eliminates the need for hardware dongles and comes with a Linux-based operating system. It can be easily licensed with software keys, providing a user-friendly experience.

S.M.A.R.T Checked: The vendor claims that Array Erase offers drive health monitoring using S.M.A.R.T parameters. It can detect reliability issues early on and reject high duty hard drives based on factors such as power on hours or reallocated sectors.

Erase Data Center Storage: According to the vendor, Array Erase can erase any direct attached storage, including Storage Area Network (SAN) cabinets. It provides the capability to erase an entire cabinet of drives, ensuring comprehensive data erasure.

How It Works: The vendor explains that Array Erase takes control and performs secure data erasure, capturing system information during the process. It also installs the operating system after erasure and provides a full report with an erasure certificate.

Centralized Reporting & Licensing: The vendor claims that Array Erase offers Command Center integration for centralized reporting and licensing. It provides enhanced reporting with digitally signed, tamper-proof data erasure certificates in multiple formats and seamless data integration with ERP systems.

Forensically Certified: According to the vendor, Array Erase's erasure algorithm is certified by ADISA, making it suitable for organizations in compliance with data privacy regulations such as the Data Protection Act, HIPAA, R2v3, or GDPR. It securely erases user data to the industry standard NIST SP 800-88 R1.

Highly Configurable: The vendor states that Array Erase offers flexibility with customizable fields that can sync with existing ERP and data collection systems. It can be tailored to suit specific processes and infrastructure.

Drive Compatibility: According to the vendor, Array Erase supports a wide range of drive types, including HDD, SSD, USB, RAID dismantling, and multiple block size drives.

Erasure Patterns: The vendor claims that Array Erase supports various erasure patterns, including CESG CPA 3-pass, Gutmann Method 35-pass, NIST 800-88-r1 Purge, DoD 5520.22-M (E) 3-pass, and more, ensuring thorough and secure data erasure.
