Blancco LUN solution brings best practices to erasure of data from physical
servers and virtual machines in cloud environments
As more data moves to virtual machines in today's cloud computing environment,
data centers need secure, efficient tools for erasing virtual drives or entire
LUNs, in addition to requirements for erasing physical hard drives. To meet
these needs and comply with data privacy standards and regulations,Blancco, the
global leader in data erasure and computer reuse solutions, offers Blancco LUN
- centralized data overwriting software that can simultaneously erase
physical drives, or logic drives in live environments running a variety of
operating systems.

"It is critical that data centers are able to target erasure for a specific
logical unit number (LUN) connected to a virtual machine, for example, without
interrupting operations by requiring the entire storage array to go offline,"
said Kim Vaisanen, CEO and Co-Founder of Blancco. "Such erasure must occur
after disaster recovery testing, when data is no longer needed, after data
migration and for cloud hosting exit strategies. Blancco LUN centralizes this
targeted erasure for maximum operational efficiency, as well as for growing
compliance requirements."
Blancco LUN ensures that data centers comply with internal security policies
and best practices, as well as strict industry standards and regulations like
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the US and
the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). When coupled with
the Blancco Management Console, it centralizes the erasure process for multiple
physical or virtual drives and provides a gapless audit trail complete with LUN
or physical drive details within an XML report.
Blancco LUN is also ideal for erasing the drives of a Storage Area Network
(SAN) while leaving the operating system intact. Secure erasure allows data
centers to reuse these high-end, complex storage arrays, return them to a
leasing company, or sell them for potentially considerable revenue.
Blancco LUN is part of Blancco's comprehensive suite of solutions for data
erasure across all levels of a computing environment-file, LUN, disk, server
and storage. A brief video offers more details on the importance of Blancco LUN
in today's cloud computing environment.
