March 14, 2007, Burlington, MA - Acronis,
Inc. (www.acronis.com/en-us/), a
technological leader in storage management software, announced that
award-winning Acronis
Drive Cleanser 6.0, a disk wiping and security
application, now supports Microsoft Vista.
"Acronis Drive Cleanser has been honored on
multiple occasions as the best disk wiping application on the
market," said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "The addition of Vista
support means that now users of virtually all versions of the
desktop Windows OS can, with complete confidence, delete the data
from any partition or the entire hard disk and know the data will
never, ever be resurrected for purposes such as industrial
espionage or identity theft. The product is used by corporate
customers and consumers to wipe an old hard disk before it is
disposed of or repurposed as additional storage."
The program supports multiple data destruction
algorithms, which define how and how many times data is
overwritten. They include several national data destruction
standards:
- American: DoD 5220.22-M
- American: NAVSO P-5239-26 (RLL)
- American: NAVSO P-5239-26 (MFM)
- German: VSITR
- Russian: Russian Standard, GOST P50739-95
Two additional, more powerful, pre-defined
algorithms are included. They were developed by top information
security experts Peter Gutmann and Bruce Schneier. In addition, the
program makes it possible for IT managers to create their own
data-wiping algorithms.
Acronis Disk Cleanser is available directly from
the Acronis Web site and from selected resellers. Suggested list
price is $49.99
