Data sanitization for data center assets

Whether you’re planning a cloud migration or preparing for a technical refresh, it’s crucial to integrate data sanitization into your management process and maintain control over your sensitive data assets until your servers or data centers are decommissioned.

Our certified data sanitization platform, Teraware™, operates at scale, wiping data across your entire data center, a singular data center room or a closet of servers. We’ve got you covered.

You can ensure accurate asset counts through discovery processes that cross-check asset lists with physical hardware comparisons.

Teraware was designed from the ground up to handle multiple users and multiple concurrent jobs in hyperscale and enterprise environments, though it can effectively scale to solve for a variety of use cases including:

  • Large on-premises data centers
  • Single room data centers in co-location facilities
  • Single server units

Capabilities

  • 100% sector-verified erasure guaranteed
  • 95% of data center drives are fully sanitized providing an industry-leading erasure rate
  • Most storage types are supported and receive a certificate of sanitization
  • Sanitize efficiently by concurrently erasing drives, regardless of the quantity, reducing sanitization time from weeks or months to days
  • Receive automated reports and certificates of sanitization for each erased drive
  • Discovery and reconciliation cross-checks compare asset lists to physical hardware to ensure accuracy

Compliant with industry standards

Iron Mountain recognizes the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-88 as an ideal framework for device sanitization.
