Data sanitisation services for your data centres and corporate end user devices.

Teraware Data Sanitisation Platform, from Iron Mountain, is a world leading enterprise level data sanitisation software. Developed to meet the need for industry compliance as related to data disposition on solid state and hard disk drives (SSDs and HDDs), Teraware specialises in the total sanitisation of all electronic information from the data centre to IT enterprise assets.

Teraware provides guaranteed, forensic-level data sanitisation using a single workflow regardless of drive manufacturer or type. For HDDs, user selectable wipe methods are applied for drive sanitisation based on your particular requirements. With SSDs, the software will automatically recognise the drives identity and apply appropriate processing to address both the logical and physical sanitisation.

Teraware data sanitisation services can be performed on drives in racks or laptops. Iron Mountain services include sanitising loose drives in our facilities. In the data centre, there is no requirement to disassemble racks before sanitisation.
