ITADs – IT Asset Disposal

With over 20 years in the data sanitization industry, Ziperase understands the erasure needs of our Data Center customers

Secure data sanitization is vital to the success of our ITAD customers. Violations of data security and privacy laws, leaked data, and security breaches have serious consequences resulting in fines or legal action that could damage the reputation of their business.

Ziperase supports compliance with certified solutions, generating a tamper-proof certificate and comprehensive report for each erasure. Ziperase software solutions are designed to save our ITAD customers time and money with efficient, economical tools that are easy to use, have good throughput, and offer automation benefits. Ziperase maintains compliance with environmental and data regulations, ensuring transparency in value recovery and fees.

The following time-consuming, labor-intensive methods used by some are costly, bad for the environment, and ultimately unreliable:

Shredding will destroy the data and the disk physically, making it unrepairable and of no further value to the ITAD vendor.

Degaussing will destroy the magnetic field of the disk but renders it useless. Solid State Drives (SSDs) cannot be degaussed as they don’t have magnetic platters.

Reformatting or deleting doesn’t erase the data, it only removes your ability to access it. The data is completely recoverable and not at all secure.

How We Can Help

Onsite Solutions

Onsite solutions ensure that data and devices remain physically secure. The erasure process is witnessed and controlled at your place of business with fewer touch points for data to be lost or stolen. USB Erase is a totally portable, compact solution for onsite deployment that simply requires a USB stick for erasure, licensing, and reporting. No HASP keys or dongles, Ziperase software allows onsite technicians to obtain licenses in real time using their phone.

Erase High Volumes of Loose Drives

Erase high volumes of loose drives with Array Erase, the on-site solution that processes up to 256 hard drives at once. Totally configurable, Array Erase allows users to add extra customizable fields to sync with your existing ERP and data collection systems. Array Erase is the all-in-one answer that controls the entire erasure process from erasure algorithm selection to report generation. Array Erase also supports hot-swapping of individual drives to promote maximum throughput in a production environment.

Erase Large Numbers of Laptops, Desktops, and Servers

Erase large numbers of laptops, desktops, and servers with Command Center, the all-in-one solution for busy ITADs. Once Ziperase Command Center is installed, the server acts as a boot server, a report collation server, a licensing server, and access point for remote-controlling erasure clients. Delivered as one easy installation, Command Center comes with its own full Linux-based operating system and data erasure software application that can be deployed and activated on your hardware.

Erase MacBooks, Chromebooks, and Gaming Consoles

Device Link provides comprehensive hardware testing compliant with R2v3 standards, including keyboards, touchpads, screens, cameras, and audio systems. Seamlessly integrating with Apple silicon chips (M1, M2) and Intel chips (T1, T2), it ensures consistent performance. Device Link further bolsters security by automatically verifying activation locks. Using advanced image processing techniques, it offers a turnkey solution for the complete data deletion and refurbishment of devices like MacBooks, Chromebooks, and gaming consoles like the Xbox. For ITAD professionals, its intuitive design streamlines the process, eliminating the need for specialized training in data erasure.

Add Extra Customizable Fields

Adding extra customizable fields to sync with your existing ERP and data collection systems supports automated process flows. This reduces the number of operator choices and inputs, which cuts down human error while increasing processing speed. Ziperase software gives the option of consolidating all reporting to one central location.

Productivity and Automation

Productivity and automation are key to a successful and well-managed ITAD program. Customizable tools that integrate seamlessly with your existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and adapt to regional and customer-specific data erasure requirements are designed by Ziperase with our ITAD customers in mind.

Hard Drive and Computer Testing

Hard Drive and computer testing is built in to the erasure process with Ziperase solutions. Ziperase uses Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) parameters to predict hard drive failure, eliminating poor quality products from the start. Ziperase software allows sorting of drives based on power-on hours, number of power cycles, reallocated sectors and more.

Compliance and Certification

Compliance and certification is a top priority for busy ITADs and Ziperase understands the importance of process control and traceability when managing large volumes of assets. Our solutions help you create detailed, accurate audit trails and remain compliant with regulations. A digitally signed, tamper-proof data erasure certificate is generated for each successful erasure. Ziperase is certified by ADISA and supports compliance with data privacy regulations such as the Data Protection Act, HIPAA, R2v3, or GDPR. All user data is securely erased to industry standard NIST SP 800-88 R1.
